Not sure where else to put this one...hoping someone has some insight/suggestions...
On the plus side, my son graduated this year and is committed to playing D1 baseball. On top of that, his HS team is making a run for the state playoffs and is one of the final four teams left standing. This weekend will seal their HS careers. He's excited, as he should be. Later this month is his last hurrah with his summer team. Five weeks of tournament play with a guys he's played with since he was eight years old, as well as some "new faces" who's been on the team for the last three years. Again, he's very excited.
Graduation party yesterday, and he gets a text from his soon to be college coach. He was with family and friends, so didn't read it until late last night. By the time he got home and read it, he also found a text from his soon to be Pitching Coach (who had recruited him for the school). Both texts say the same thing, the school has released all coaches but the HC. The HC is going to have a call with all incoming players later this week to discuss state of the program, room assignments, and when to report over the summer.
Son has gone from being excited to nervous and not sure what's next. His relationship with the PC is what drew him to the school. He likes the HC, but hasn't built a relationship with him other than a couple of texts. He is in a daze. Not sure how to help guide him, or even if I can - never been in this spot before. Wife and I are giving him some room to digest it all - telling him that we're here when/if he wants to talk about things. He still wants to go there for school and to play ball. They have his major, a good program, and he sees opportunity for playing time. He's just worried about the unknown, which is reasonable.
