How to jumpstart a school

As you evaluate the schools & offers that you receive keep in mind 2 things. Does the school FIT your son's needs academically, athletically, and socially? Does the school recruiting you 'love' you?

Your post suggests that the in-state school you are trying to court doesn't 'love' your son.

Our son had 3 offers from excellent institutions of higher education. He chose the baseball program that 'loved' him, and we haven't looked back.

First of all the school is coming to your home--that is a major plus

Has you son visited this school officially?
The instate schools are not ready to make an offer?--tell them X school from out of state has been in for a visit in the home-- that will shake leaves--then see what happens--

Make sure your son does make a decision until he is sure of what he wants-- put the pressure on the schools !!!!

BTW he is sitting in a great position

Lone Star,
Your son must be pretty good if being visited by an out of state school.
I don't believe in being dishonest and I don't believe in pushing a school to give your son an offer, I have seen that backfire.
Listen to what all the schools have to say before your son makes a decision. It is very early in the process.
If the in state schools were really interested, you would not have heard about taking care of pitchers first! Be patient.
