(New to the site, trying not to recover old ground but…..)
My son is a junior who is getting some D1 letters (unsolicited) and would be considered (without boring everyone here with details) a college prospect. Here are my steps so far. What am I doing right, what am I missing on? I need your advice.
- Sent target schools at the D1 and D2 levels a bio of his accomplishments along with contact info (via letter and email) – got lots of thank you’s and camp invites
- Linked and included my son’s Perfect Game profile to all coaches on that target list.
- Let HS coach know which schools we’ve reached out to and which schools (unsolicited) have reached out to us
- Beginning to get a video ready to forward to target schools
- Sent him to two college camps so far. (hard to get to many more because of limited time and they often conflict with one another)
- Had him play an aggressive travel AAU schedule last summer and fall and attend two PG showcase events
Some of the things that are talked about that I am in the dark about are professional workouts and references from pro scouts.
I also have questions as to whether he should play on a good legion team or play for a travel AAU team this summer. Which team will get the right college guys looking at him (AAU seems to get coaches looking at the national superstuds and pitchers more than northeast position players.)
My son has all the requisite skills – strong arm, bat speed, power, stats etc……but I’m worried that he’s gonna get overlooked.
What step do I need to take, which steps should I be avoiding or elimintating?
Help!
