Rather than take a poll you should ask your son a few hard questions.
Why do you prefer the JUCO?
If you prefer the JUCO, why are you afraid to lose the D2?
There is a whole lot more than that involved, and a lot more questions but he needs to answer these first.

A JUCO coach has " 3 players he is positive will be drafted and signed". Wow. what a great coach. He knows not only that his three players will be drafted, he knows they will sign. This is the June draft, right? For MLB, right? Most ML teams could not tell you at this point who they will draft in the first round, let alone who they will draft in later rounds. And of those drafted, how many will sign. And these have to be freshman players, right? Because sophomore JUCO players will be leaving, right? Sign with the D-2 is my advice.
Has he been to the D2 school? A visit may be in order. If he has and does not like the coach and/or facilities, then you may have to assess by how much. And are these the ONLY opportunities available? He may want to wait on the JUCO and if it doesn't work out, then goes somewhere else if the D2 is gone at that time. If you decide on the JUCO, can you tell the situation to the D2? That may be a no-no - I have no clue on that.

You should also consider where he is best suited for an education. There's more than just baseball to consider.
