A friends son is a tremendously talented ball player. He has already been singled out by scouts and the like as a freshman. A mid-level D-I school wants him to sign already. The kid really likes the school but, he is the kind of talent that could end up at a big D-I baseball school by the time he is a junior/senior. I told his dad to give the school a verbal committment if he really likes that school that much. This is a non-binding committment that he could change if his stock moves up. Was this a good thing to tell him to do?
