Did the search and wanted to gets some imput from parents that have been there and done that since topic has not really been updated. My 2015 LHP is a tweener, has been told more than a few times if he were 83-85 fb he would already be signed at D1's with his mix of pitches and location. There is an outside chance it may still happen and that would be HIS goal depending on program but it would be as a walk-on and he does not want the stress of waiting until next spring. Been here long enough we've all heard the story........
Has good DII interests in the mid-west and could more than likely sign but as later bloomer currently at 78-82 @ 6'2" 165 his frame is gonna hold more strength and velo will go up to more acceptable levels which he hopes will get him to a higher collegiate level. His club coach is very knowledgeable and fairly well connected. Mom & Dad and son are fine with heading the JuCo route and the options are available in the Mid-West with some top programs that will develop him even more. We are of the opinion he needs to be competing from day 1, gaining more game experience while at the same time growing physically. We will be taking visits within the next month.
My question is with life after JuCo, have looked already at some of the JUCO programs and they are placing kids at higher levels but how pro-active does the student athlete and/or parent become after that Soph year, if he's talented will they find him, JoCo coach make a call..???. Son is already ok with ACT/GPA requirements for most 4 years but I feel somewhat reluctant to ask about recrutement after the Fresh year but know it does happen. Any imput is welcome
