[Bullwinkle] they can't talk (call) until June
[limom84] ohh
[Bullwinkle] November 1st is the early signing
[limom84] so we still have time
[Bullwinkle] so, from june 1st to Nov 1st is the time to talk to coaches
[limom84] can they combine academic $ with athletic $
lexhitmen23 has left the chat.
[Bullwinkle] tricky question.....NCAA says no.
[limom84] maybe we should have said hi to lex
[limom84] is it a gray area?
[Bullwinkle] did u or your son complete questionaires?
[limom84] some not all
[limom84] does it matter
[Bullwinkle] how many?
[limom84] maybe 4 or 5
[Bullwinkle] let's put it this way.....
[limom84] y?
[Bullwinkle] if I wanted to offer you a job, and sent you a letter to complete, and you fail to mail it back....
[Bullwinkle] you are now off my list
[limom84] okay, i see where u are going
[Bullwinkle] always fill out every letter
[limom84] i'll go yell at him to fill out some more, GF taking up major time lately
[Bullwinkle] it can also create a compation between schools
[limom84] never thought of that
[Bullwinkle] there are no GF's in Basbeall!
[limom84] GF's are everywhere as are wives
[Bullwinkle] so if the ACC school send letters mail them all back etc
[Bullwinkle] cause the first question that he will get in June is....
[limom84] okay, thanx, very helpful info
[Bullwinkle] what colleges are you talking to?
[limom84] never thought of that either
[Bullwinkle] cause you know all the colleges are talking to eachother
[Bullwinkle] my son is on the west coast..
[limom84] we live on Long Isl
[limom84] hi taxes
[Bullwinkle] so we worked the Pac10 and Big West schools agianst eachother for a higher scholarship %
[Bullwinkle] this is a business,
[limom84] so we're the Big East? or is that just basketball?
[limom84] ur right
[limom84] did you son get a full ride
[Bullwinkle] go to www.collegebaseballinsider.com to check out your local schools
[Bullwinkle] yes
[limom84] wonderful!!
[Bullwinkle] i got 2 more, so i need it!
[limom84] I have 3 also
[limom84] boy, girl, boy
[Bullwinkle] same
[Bullwinkle] remember
[limom84] girl is 16, other boy is 7-he's a sweetheart
[Bullwinkle] if your son is a pro prospect
[limom84] I am not even thinking like that
[Bullwinkle] he will need a college commitment as leverage from the signing bonus
[Bullwinkle] u said scouts are talking to him
[limom84] yes
[Bullwinkle] so his a pro prospect
[limom84] but he wants college
[limom84] not pros
[Bullwinkle] amazing what happens when you flap 200,000 if front of a 18 year old kid
[limom84] amazing what hapens when you do that to any1
[limom84] no, i am not thinking that way, college 1st
[Bullwinkle] but after u do the math,,,IRS, agents etc, most 45% is gone
[limom84] YUCK!!!
[Bullwinkle] college is the best, but he must complete all letters and mail them back....
[Bullwinkle] if he can't, u do it.
[limom84] I went to school, already!
[Bullwinkle] because it's $ you will be saving
[limom84] ur right
[limom84] question-what do u mean about my "styles of writing"/
[Bullwinkle] I thought we were over that
[limom84] okay
[Bullwinkle] my only comment, look for ways to help people on this path
[Bullwinkle] don't look for ways to piis them off
[limom84] I Dont do that on purpose
[limom84] people are negative and nasty to me as well
[Bullwinkle] people are not nasty to me
[limom84] well, i have to go now, ty for the helpful info . p.s. i like all your takes on songs, some of them, i dont know tho
[Bullwinkle] good luck,,,,love live,,,,,enjoy the ride
