actually, if the partial/pinch runner school overall is a better fit for her, it might make sense. do not lose track that all our DDs need to pick their school based primarly on the school part, not the softball part. when their 4 years are over, they will likely need that education and degree to open doors for them to careers that will last much longer than 4 years.And remember, we are talking about PAYING to ride pine, not receiving said education value. Give my DD a full ride to be your pinch running speedster, we might have something to talk about. Ask her to give up a full ride as the starter at a DIII school to for a partial scholarship and being that pinch-runner? Not happening.
