Re: All-Time All-District Teams
VaDad, It's not particulary fair to characterize Mansfield's sophomore year at Coastal as "lackluster". More accurate is that he wasn't given a chance which is not unusual in CCU's program. He was on the team for one half of the year and only pitched 3 or 4 innings as memory serves. Because of his outstanding academics, Brian was offered a lucrative internship out of state. There was a deadline involved that prevented him from doing both baseball and the internship. We all know what his...

Re: College Head Coaching Requirements
They are called volunteer assistant coaches and usually given free tuition, room board and meals. It's like an internship. Bradley LeCroy was the volunteer at Clemson when son came, left for paid assistant coach at Western and now the assistant at UT. I know that son's HC prefers former players who want to coach as volunteer assistants. HC's of larger programs usually have to have some form of education in a degree and I think a master's degree is required but does not have to be in education.

Re: Interesting article on Northwoods League
. Mine have had 7 summers of College summer ball...in 5 different leagues...from Washington State to Washington DC... ...and I have a little different take. I am a big fan of summer ball for many reasons...the biggest one being it is a life experience... simply not to be missed. But I don’t think that it is as simple as “you can’t miss it, always play”. I don’t think it is for everybody, every year. I believe that you have to...Know the reality. Know your player/purpose. Know your league.

Re: D1 versus D2/D3
My experience at D3 is that if you go in with a D1 mindset, you are at risk. What I mean by this is that a lot of guys see baseball as a primary motivator for going to college. If you're a D1 athlete receiving money to play baseball, it logically takes a spot almost higher than academics at times in your priorities. At most D3 schools, the mindset is not the same. Guys play baseball because they love it but also know that sometimes school work (especially labs or grad school interviews!)...

Re: How we teach kids who to pick for role models
The first round of role models for kids should be their parents and other family. This means the parents have to walk the walk. They have to live the way they wnat their kids to evolve.

Re: College Fall Season 2013
Jr is now in his Jr season and it is amazing how fast it goes. You also adjust your perspective as a parent. I don’t really need to get much of an update from him very often, just ask how things are going both in school and in baseball. I already know his routine, and don’t really worry about “stuff” other than he stays healthy. I mention something regarding summer ball, because of the experience with my son and some of his friends, D1-D3. Kids are getting placed now so this is appropriate.

Best of luck to all the incoming freshmen and their parents. Everything will be just fine. If any questions, I suggest the book "Don't Tell Me What To Do, Just Send Me Money" by Helen E. Johnson.
