Kid got an invite to Baylor Junior Day. It's right in the middle of the season and quite a haul. Is this a big cattle call or something he should not miss, or something in between?

In my opinion, you shouldn't miss it if he has Baylor in his top 5 choices -- unless, of course, it interferes with your season. In that case, the coaches understand.
One of them is in May on a Sunday...
Not only do you gain insight on Baylor, but you also gain insight on the whole college recruiting process.
Don't miss it if it doesn't conflict with your High School Baseball schedule, you will get some great information about the school and the program as well as the recruiting process in general.
GO!!!
with all...
It will be a great opportunity for your son to be seen by the powers that be!
Remember, this is a business...Coaches want to gauge son's interest, as well as impress you & him. Son will want to have a barometer to measure other schools by.
BTW, ask to meet Tim Matthews...former teammate of my son...I know he loves it!

I would second that about the coaches understanding if there is a game conflict, my son was invited to Baylor's Junior Day and we had to say no because a) we would have to fly to Texas and b) he has a doubleheader in a different part of our state the day before! If you can't make it, it's good to email the coach who is in charge of recruiting and let him know, because that will keep you on their radar screen.
If invited - do not miss it.
When you get the grand tour be sure to stop by Linebaugh's locker and knock his jersey off the hook....

Hey DBAT
Well at least now I know who keeps knocking his jersey off the hook.
How are you and how is the team looking for the summer?

Randy, I sent you a PM.
It should be a good experience for you and you can learn a lot about the process. My son went last year and it was held on two different weekends. It is somewhat of a cattle call, however. About 70 boys total were there for the two sessions, so stay grounded.
My son will be attending the Baylor Jr. Day this April. What all was involved? This is his first invite and we just want to get a feel for what is involved.
They give you a tour of all the baseball facilities and give several talks about the recruiting process. Later, Coach Smith talked with the parents separately and answered questions. They also take you on a tour of the school campus itself. We got to see a game at the end of the day.
