I am new to this and need some advice. First a little bragging. Varsity Catcher, a Senior this year. 1.85 to second. .543 batting average last year. fast, great arm. He is limited though to a junior college due to being place in tech prep instead of college prep. I was dissapointed at first but from what I read and heard I don't think this is a bad thing now...so anybody correct me if Im wrong I want to make sure I understand this. He is being looked at by a NCJAA Division I school. I have been told that you can recieve a full scholarship including room and board where 4 year colleges it is harder to get such a scholarship. That pro scouts like to recruit out of these colleges such as chipola, ect. And this college has had many of the boys go pro. That is my sons dream. any comments on all of this? The college that wants him is a championship winning school, really good. I have been told that as far as colleges go we will not do any better...which is exciting. His coach was contacted about my son the first week of school. Is this a good thing, or do they contact everyone? The coach told us that they wanted him. His summer league coach from a few years back is transferring there to be assistant coach and my son got a call from him too saying that the school needed a catcher and they thought he was the man for the job. We did not know he was going to be the coach at this time. He is to visit the school in a week. What do we expect now? I am so scared that they will change their mind or something and dissapoint my son. If they do want them will they ask him to give a verbal agreement or something? When can they really sign him? sorry about so many questions I just want to know about this and hope some of you know the answers. Also one more thing. If my son does agree to sign...if he is picked up by a pro team can he go? Im not giving up on that possibility. Any advice or comment will be appreciated. Georgiamom.
