[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To some extent this is going to be determined by whether or not your son actually is D1 material as dad seems to think.

If this is a sport with no prospect of "going pro" after college, then really who cares if you play D1 or D3? [/quote]

Been on sidelines for something similar with good friends' son. Great athlete, wanted to play D1 for a T20 school. Incurred an injury and off field the for six months. Learned that D1 coaches were most likely not interested. Has interest from a few top D3s. The dad wanted D1, but it's now getting real and recognizing that where he could probably play for D1 doesn't align with the kid's or family's desires.

Our DC played on a travel team with a lot of players expecting D1 offers, including from T20 schools. In the end, three kids got D1 offers and none were T40 schools. They were not the flashy players with the pushy parents, but the hard working ones with the pleasant parents. Some others ended up with D3 offers and are enjoying it - but dang had to listen to those parents for five years go on and on about their DCs eventually playing at their Ivy alma maters. [/quote]
