OK, another parent trying to read the tea-leaves and looking for some cheat notes in the meantime. No better place than here for that…….

My son is a rising senior (three year varsity starter, all-league player etc…) who has played on a solid northeast select team and performed very well. Big extra base hitter, 85 mph IF arm, 7.4 runner, multi-position player and so forth.

Letters from a handful of D1 schools, contact made by a few northeast D1 coaches after games telling him how impressed they were. Lots of camp invites (been to a few). Plenty of buzz. Pro scout told him he was a high level D1 player that needed to look to play in a southern school to develop for the next level, offered his help with calling schools, cell phone #, 45 minute conversation etc….

Top level AAU coach’s rave about him; say they’ve heard a lot about him and so on. PG likes him, highly rated ……..BUT……..

ONE call (D3), few letters and no requests for official visits………what am I missing? Too early? Be more patient? Sign up for more of the campus camps?

He as emailed his schedule and some basic info to 50 schools and kept the coaches up to date on things in simple, to-the-point correspondences.

What am I missing?

Be patient. We went through the same thing last year. My son is a catcher. After first of July we expected a rush of calls based on same things you listed. In October the flood gates opened up. My son received 3 calls from coaches in one night and it remained constant through October on through the first of November. He signed in the early siging period last year and leaves next thursday to head to college. Good things happen to those that work hard! Best of luck to your son and family.
