You asked for the "Best Route." It's really quite simple. ALL HE HAS TO DO IS:
1. Find a high level D1 in top conference that will offer him lots of exposure. Lower level D1's, D2's or D3's might work, but would not be the "best route." THey certainly would not give him the "stage and positioning" he wants/needs. (Your words, not mine). The fact that he has already spent 3 years at a JUCO may or may not limit his options. Was the extra year of JUCO ball due to injury? Academics? Skill level? Has he totally outplayed everyone in JUCO ball?
2. Outplay everyone else in high level D1.
Yes, yes, I'm being sarcastic to some degree. But this was a pretty dumb question. What kind of answer were you expecting?

With pertaining to the stage or positioning , what is the best route to accomplish that dream?
Please know the guy is a 3 year juco man and is 21 years of age as of today. Saw a Dominican Baseball documentary the other day and never realized what one year in age can do to a signing bonus. A kid was offered x amount of money one year and offered half of the offer the very next year.
Thanks in Advance. I'm all ears.
