Had a baseball one this morning "xxxx would really like Will to attend the xxx Showcase later this month that i sent you after seeing him throw last night, they placed 9 of 18 seniors with scholarships last year from Atlantic Canada"
He's 13 in grade 8
no scout is looking at or cares about him.
The showcase is $275 for a couple of hours in the fieldhouse. Crazy.
its just constant and it doesn't matter what the sport is It is very easy to get sucked in to chase the dream

Just let them know that is too late for him. If he hasn’t been all in on baseball since 8 he won’t make it anywhere. Then follow that up asking if those 9 scholarships how many were books and tuition 100%? Truth be told there’s A LOT more money in it for the Junior College giving a 50% scholarship to an out of country student then 50% scholarship to in an in state kid.
