It actually happened

Congratulations!!!  Wonderful news.  Welcome back.  Maybe now you can share some of your insights.

Congrats!

 

Congratulations to your son.  This sounds a LOT like my son's experience and when he "signed" he too felt such a relief to just focus on school and baseball.  And I must say, he really did enjoy that last year in HS.  It's a special time as the college experience was a fun experience experience too, but for a baseball player, it was also quite a grind.

Congratulations!

 

Hope you post more of your experiences now that you're over one big hurdle.  

Ditto!

 

That's terrific!!!

Thanks everyone. I would like to say that if anyone is out there and they are worried that their son is not stud D1 prospect. Neither was mine, he never got any D1 interest other than generic camp emails etc. He was able to market himself, get himself in front of coaches and basically sell himself to schools that fit his atheletic ability and academic needs. He stayed in regular communication with the coaches that were interested in him and he worked hard. In the end he is going to a school he fell in love with its a 4 year school that has the degree path he is interested in pursuing. This past year has been a lot of fun for me. I was In a position at work that I was able to spend the time with him on showcases, tournaments and school visits. I was able to build on our father/son relationship, we communicate the best we ever had now. That to me is one of the best things to come from this whole process.

Congrats ABC.  Looks like you followed HS Web advice to the letter and it paid off.

This kind of made me ?giggle?  Given the diversity of viewpoints on here, I'm not sure its possible to follow the hsbaseballweb advice to the letter?

Congrats, sit back and enjoy his senior year. it is a special year for them.

Great news ! Congrats to your son Please share with us where your son will be a student athlete next fall.

Congratulations to your son! Now, time to sitback and throughly enjoy each and every game, the pressure is OFF!

 

Enjoy the ride!

Congratulations! Stick around and share your experience!

Congratulations to you and your son!

ABC, I'm so happy for you and you son!  This is happy news.. how wonderful for your family.

Thanks everyone for the congrats! He will be going to Oklahoma Wesleyan University. The last few years under the new head coach they have done really well. The recruiting coordinator showed a lot of love to my son. He was recruited to play catcher. As far as the recruiting I followed the advice on here as much as possible or as much as I thought it would pertain to our situation.

Congratulations to your son and family. 

 

I've heard on this site many times over that if the boy has talent (at any level) and passion for the sport, there's a spot.  I discovered this past summer what wise words those were.  My son has discovered what Coach Mays describes as "the grind" of collegiate baseball.  Although at the NAIA level, the boy eats, sleeps, and breaths baseball 6 days a week--early mornings/late evenings.  I was able to tell him what to expect so it wasn't as big of a shock.  A testament to this site indeed.

 

Congratulations again and good luck!!!
