JUCO Offer

There is absolutely no way to answer that question.

Ask your son,

Do you like the school?

Do you want to spend two years of your life here?

Is there or do you need the academic support provided by this school?

Do you feel that the program can get you to your next goal?

Do you feel valued by the coach and staff?

Do you feel you can compete at this level?

then ask yourself

Can I afford this without baseball?


I think if you focus on the right questions your initial question wont matter so much.

Very good points playfair!

My suggestion would be not to personalize it. The offer is a combination of things. For instance, a low offer may not mean that they are not thrilled with your son's ability, it might mean that is all they have to offer at the present time

Any offer is a good one imho as that is a true indicator that someone values your son's ability. You can accept it and/or also use it to build into potentially other opportunities. Either way, getting an offer is the first step to further evaluation as playfair so aptly points out.

What should be expected of an offer from a D II Juco for a catcher from a 4A TAPPS school, 457 Avg, low 1.9's pop time at 83 mph?

BTW, those are impressive numbers imho. They indicate he ought to be able to find a nice home at the collegiate level imho. I think the main thing now is exposure. Coaches do not recruit stats. They recruit what they see.

ClevelandDad, you are right those numbers are impressive and I forgot to mention it!

Cleveland Dad, I like what you said I'm going to steal it from you!
( Coaches do not recruit stats. They recruit what they see!)
I never thought of it like that.

if he throws 83mph and has a pop time under 2... why are you looking to go D2 Juco?
