Congrats! Great program too! This gives my 2019 some hope as well.. I was getting worried in June but things are beginning to align
This 2019 LHP from Wisconsin just commited to Alabama today. More proof positive that P5's, and not just any P5 but an SEC team at that will still sign rising Seniors late in summer...
Missouri has 2 2020 Commits
Kansas State has 0 2020 commits
Oklahoma State has 4 2020 commits
Texas Tech has 4 2020 commits.
Those are just ones I pulled up in 5 minutes. There is still a lot of recruiting going on in P5. Everyday I am seeing 2019s committing.
Congrats to your son! It does not surprise me at all that he received an offer this so called "late in the game". Just last week my son had two friends who had P5 offers recinded and a third who was told that if his velo does not increase the scholly offer will not be extended come NLI time.
How do they go about rescinding the offers? (I'm assuming they are before NLI time as well.)
Oral "offers" are worth the paper they are printed on, so it could go like this:
• "we have too many at your position, so you'll not see the field;"
• "admissions says you can't get in;"
• "I'm the new HC, and I think it better you find another option;"
• "You haven't really developed like we thought and you'll never see the field or even make the roster so it's best you not lose a year of eligibility."
The conversation is only limited by your imagination.
Loom at the list of schools that go to the Arizona Sr Fall Classic. They ain't done!

There is a 2019 Wisconsin kid who just committed to UW-Milwaukee last week, and two other 2019's committed to Central Michigan a few days ago. When it comes to mid-Majors, they aren't done...
Congrats to the 2019's who are committing! Great stuff!!
Not sure where this topic got that there's a "myth" that schools are done recruiting 2019's. NLI's aren't even signed yet. Colleges are always recruiting.
Some schools, particularly at D1, are mostly "done". Though that can change if NLI's don't get signed and it will definitely change come draft time. Some more 2019's will get recruited then...next June.
My son is at a juco. Just this week he has received several calls from D1's looking for bats. So, apparently, there are still D1's looking for guys.
My son plays for a P5 that is loaded but still not at 35 for 2018. However, I think it is also important to note that late offers tend to provide less scholly money.

I agree that's probably true, but the Juco guys are a little different than the incoming freshmen in my opinion. Juco (and graduate transfers) have already proven they can handle the distractions of being away from home, playing at a higher level, maintaining school commitments and are overall likely to be a little more mature as players and people, both physically and mentally. I think that is why some schools actively look at Juco kids later in the game as it adds a different element to their rosters and may be a "safer" route than adding another kid to the incoming freshman class. Just my opinion.
There may be a few D1s that are not done..but remember..position is important..good pitchers will always be in the driver's seat..first basemen will be least recruited.
