My son is a 2015 aiming for an academic D3 school and that should be a good fit. That said, we've had a lot of camp invites via email and not much else - so no real interest at this point. We are very aware that our son may not be playing college baseball, but are still giving it a shot.
We have 2 questions about folks representing colleges:
1. This evening we received a call from someone calling "on behalf of" a low D1 school inviting my son to attend one of their camps. This is our first phone call - does this still fall into the same category as the emailed camp invites or does it indicate a smidgeon of interest? Is it normal for someone other than a coach to call kids about camps? How do we know if this person really is associated with the school?
2. A while back we received a camp invite where several schools we were interested in would be "represented". We figure that means scouts for the schools would attend but not the coaches themselves. We emailed the coaches to see if their presence at the camp was legitimate before paying for the camp, but received no responses. How do we find out if someone says he's a scout for a certain school really is a scout for that school?
Thanks!
