The top program coaches get calls like this: "Coach, I need an outfielder in the 2019 class. Whattaya got?"
It actually happens almost exactly like this.
Top travel coaches also make calls like this: Mr. College Coach. I have a kid who wants to play there I believe is an ideal fit. You have to see him play when you're at XYZ tournament.
Even better is when the travel coach is a buddy and/or been feeding the college program for years.
Some of them make calls like that - but not all of them. They (travel coaches) all say they have the contacts to make that call. But the truth is that some do and most don't. You have to figure out who does - and that's where you go.

You look at team placement history and ask questions.
