recruiting questionaire on college websites

Any way a kid can express his desire to play at a school is a plus. Have a plan. Don't wait to be found. He can also discuss his travel team on the form.

It certainly will not hurt. Do not worry if you do not hear anything from the school's since he is 2019. 

Chances are your son will get put on a mailing list. He will get invited to their camps. It's far more likely to be for revenue generation than genuine interest.

What level do you anticipate he will play at? D1, D2, D3, or NAIA? There are 6, D3 schools and I believe they are all Private schools. Not sure if they participate in the Hope or Zell Miller.

Would love to see him go as high as possible, but have no way of knowing right now. Just have to see how he progresses.

Unless something unforeseen happens, I am sure he will attend college in  Georgia since he should qualify to  receive the Hope Or Zell Miller academic money. 

If your son will be eligible for the Zell Miller, then I would encourage you to remain open to him attending a school outside of GA (if he has the interest). I think both scholarships are limited to tuition, so you still have room and board to pay assuming he doesn't commute. With top grades and SAT/ACT, he might be looking at a similar net cost at a top academic school (your financial situation is also a factor). 

Going to college in GA may be the best course for your son. I just would hate to see you limit his options solely based on these two resident scholarships when he could have other, possibly better, options that cost about the same. Particularly when you add baseball into the mix.

They all participate in both, but are limited to about $2,000 per semester. Doesn't put much of dent in Emory.

Thanks MidAtlanticDad,

Probably not for some of the other privates on this list as well then. But 2000 is 2000.

Absolutely. It would be nice to put that $2,000 on top of a nice scholarship package from Emory. Great academics and great baseball.

Yes,

I know one young man who went to a D1 college, one in the B1G. Well a coaching change came along and it was pretty clear he was not wanted. He transferred to Emory. Many people told me clearly he will be the starter there. It is only D3, after all. I told them not to hold there breath. He had a decent career but was never the starter at catcher. Emory has a very good program. If you start there it is because you are very good.
