Reply to "What should we do?"

 

Regarding his desire to improve chemistry for the HS team, here is a different way to look at it - he was a standout player for the team last year and many of the same players must be returning if he has aspirations for a state run.  So, he played with them all season last year (and probably some the year before?) and will practice with them again in the winter and pre-season.  They likely know each other pretty darned well already.  Playing with the good travel team will only make him a better player, thus able to help his HS team more in the spring.

 

Key fall showcase events are so critical for an unsigned rising senior.  Don't know how he could afford to pass on that opportunity unless he really likes his current option.  Also, if he has a travel coach who is well connected in college circles and he is willing to speak to schools on your son's behalf, there is certainly value there.  I agree with Swampboy that if your son is really set on trying to advance as a position player, he should have that conversation with the travel coach right away.  At least have the conversation so you both know in more detail why he sees your son as having a better shot as a P.

 

All this said, I love that he feels strongly about his HS team!
