Don't JUCOs usually wait until after early signing period to start making contact/offers? My son, a senior 6'4" LHP, is a little behind after missing spring season to elbow stress fracture. Fully recovered and played on summer legion team and did fairly well after first couple of games and ended summer on a good note. Playing on local college high school fall team and doing well. Sent out contact letters in summer to several in-state JUCOs he is interested in. Requested time to come meet and try-out but haven't heard back. E-mailed closest-to-home JUCO and told coach we planned on attending their fall game tomorrow and would like to meet him. He promptly replied with ". . .look forward to seeing y'all". Not son's first choice right now, but first real communication other than HS coach told me this JUCO coach had asked him about son and seemed to have some interest. I told him he needs to keep an open mind. Should he make phone or e-mail follow-up contact with other JUCOs?
