Recently my son has been gathering some attention and has several clubs asking him to go to end of year workouts along with many calls from scouts.
The same two questions keep being asked of him which are : are you signable and the one we are struggling with "how much will it take"...?
I know the "how much" question is a personal decision. We have taken the route of telling them "fair market value based on round drafted" or "we aren't sure depending on the stituation". Neither answer seems to be working because they press harder for a real figure.
My questions are:
1. Is there a better answer then we are giving? Do we really want to give a dollar figure?
2. Several scouts have mentioned they see him going by the 10th round. At what round or money amount is it wise to consider an advisor if one at all?
3. Besides bonus and college is there anything else to be negotiated at the time of signing?
He is a redshirt freshman at a jc who hasn't found an interest in school and would rather not go.
Thanks!
