Over the past four years, this site has helped me navigate through the roller coaster ride of college recruiting. As everyone says it is certainly full of ups and downs.
I am happy to say my 2014 committed to Jacksonville University today. I was very proud of him for waiting for the offer that was the best fit both academically and for baseball. He certainly fooled me with his patience and ablility to stay focused for the long term.
Many thanks again for your help though the past years.

Eddie is doing great at Case and loves it! He had surgery in January and just started pitching again late summer. Fall practice is going well so far and he feels he will be ready to roll and help to get them to the regionals again this year.
It's going to be nice to finally have one of our children stay close to home.
Congrats ! Good luck to your son !
Way to go and congratulations!
Thanks everyone For your kind words.
Congratulations! 
Just saw, congrats!!!
NICE! Congrats!
Congrats, and best of luck! That should keep you busy with two playing college baseball.
After being in withdrawal last spring with neither playing I welcome the opportunity to see them both play. I don't get to see my son pitch in Cleveland very often but he plays in Florida for a week every year. Hopefully, he will be ready to be back on the bump this spring.
Congrats! You are exactly right regarding this web site. We learned so much from just reading posts from people that have been there.
I also fully agree with your statements about finding the right school. The kid is the one that has to "live" there, they have to be happy. They also have to be happy with the baseball program. Help them, suggest, advise. Don't push, or force or tell them.
As for the recruiting part. We found East Cobb and Fort Myers to be great ways to get noticed. We also found that it is important to get on good showcase teams that hit the big tournaments and can compete. When colleges come to watch other kids and other teams you are right there too. We got a ton of interest from these two tournaments, not the come to our camp interest. In the end because our son found better college/career options up north we had to hit some camps to get in front of those schools. But it was the stats and numbers he put up in East Cobb and Fort Myers that they liked.
Best wishes to your son!
This just popped up again and I reread it and realized I didn't offer my congratualtions
