My son is a 6'3, 190 lb RHP/1B, who is being recruiting as a pitcher. 3.2 GPA and taking the ACT on 9/8/2012.
All-conference all district during freshman, sophomore and junior season, and pitched for a Connie Mack team in his area this summer, with a 1.7 ERA and 6:1 K to walk ratio against mostly college signees (Several Big 12 signees).
Has some tuition and book offers from several JUCO, NAIA and NCAA DII schools in Oklahoma and Kansas, and wants to sign early, as we saw some post seniors who are waiting around in late July for offers that may never come.
My question is this: is books and tuition pretty standard, or should he wait for more? He (and I) would really like to get this over with by December, as he also is a two-year started on the football and basketball team, and would like to just enjoy his senior baseball season without worrying about his future.
P.S. If you're a college coach PM me and we'll take a visit to your campus...we don't want this to last forever.
