My son is a junior position player who has already been in contact with his top 3 choices for schools. We have heard don't put all your eggs in one basket (or 3 baskets, for that matter), so we are "casting a wide net" and plan to mail out sheets with son's stats, awards, and contact info to about 20 schools he has mild to moderate interest in. I guess I have 2 questions: (1) Any recommendations for things we should say/not say when we mail these things out? (2) Son attended a showcase this fall at his top choice for a baseball program and the program has indicated what we believe to be clearcut interest in him. Let's call this college School A. Coaches from School B (which has a lower-level program) also worked with son at this showcase and son wants to send a sheet to them too. But....School B coaches have a close affiliation with School A, and I'm worried they may let School A know we've contacted them and the School A coaches may think son is not that interested in School A. Am I paranoid or are my concerns justified? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
