When Junior College might be the better choice: 1. You are not one of the top brains in high school. Most of 2.5-3.0 GPA high school students believe that to be the easiest way is to attend a junior college. 2. You might be a draft pick, not picked out of high school, wanting to get the benefits of two-year draft eligibility. 3. Youre one of the chosen players but youre not good enough to sign a contract and still you would love to play professional baseball. Junior college way gives you the opportunity to either sign or be re-drafted when both seasons-freshman and senior seasons end. 4. You dream of conquering Arizona or Clemson State while youre being offered from only lesser division 1 schools. If you go to a junior college and show them what your abilities are, you will get the opportunity at the college you really wanted to play at. There is only one thing both players as well as their parents have to keep in mind: finishing 2 years in a junior college and then being transferred to a division 1 college will lead in one direction: receiving a degree that says Clemson or Arizona State, but says absolutely nothing about the junior college. Lets talk about money now. Almost every division 1 schools (who have 11.7 scholarships for baseball) have to share this money equally with 30-35 players, the player having left a large sum of money to pay. With lower tuition costs and more scholarships (24) many times a junior college can offer 2 free years. You can save money this simple way: you attend a division 1 school 2 years for free and the next 2 at 50 %, which equals to four years at 75 % savings. All these lead you to a $20,000 save from that 25 % left of every year. You can also choose a JUCO because of the additional playing opportunities, being able to play against those who are your own age. Although Junior College sounds good for some of the young players it isnt the right option for all of them. Its almost impossible for a 3.5- 4.0 student, who could attend some of the best colleges as Notre Dame or Duke to even take a junior college in consideration since all these top academic schools dont even consider JUCO transfers. No matter what the choice is, its yours and has got to be the right one. Good luck! |
