Well consider this:

* Last year's 2nd pick in the draft, Greg Reynolds from Stanford, was a late Spring sign in 2003. Greg signed with the Rockies this summer for $3.25M.

* The pitcher with the 5th most innings on the squad last year didn't commit until the Spring of his senior year in HS.

* Stanford's top freshman pitcher in this Fall's practice was a late Spring sign this past year.

These are exceptional young men, and their reasons for committing late are varied (remember the phrase "finding a good fit?").

But if you didn't sign, you're in the majority. Hang in there. Things might be ok...re-work your plan while looking for that "fit."

Congratulations to all the young men who have signed!!!! Do to son's difficulty in school, he has not even considered a DivI school. He knows his limitations and has been looking at small DivIII schools and a few juco's. He has worked very hard to raise his grades and GPA and he now qualifies with the NCAA clearinghouse for DivI! Yes!! that was his goal even though most of these schools are way too big for him. The knowing that he CAN qualify is what mattered to him...Maybe somewhere down the road...This may sound odd but baseball is what keeps him focused on school....he needs the grades to play and it will not change when he plays college ball.He has told us if it wasn't for baseball he would not go to college! I want my son to succeed in school but also to be able to succeed on the field!! I hope this makes sense!! There are no regrets on his part that he didn't persue any big schools because he knows that he wouldn't survive the classroom! I have to say that reading the board for many months has helped us to realize that this is OK...we have learned alot from all the parents who post here and appreciate a"birds eye view" Thank you !!!!!!
