cabbagedad posted:Wow, great informative post from Strained... one of my son's schools was a D2 and I only wish I could argue his point. That said, as Friarfred pointed out, there are exceptions. Research. We were surprised that some of the Caif. D2's put so little $$ into the baseball programs (in many aspects) as compared to many much smaller private D3's and even NAIA's elsewhere. These things can be pretty easy to identify if you know what to look for and what to ask.
WCPapa, those are good numbers. Aside from the PG events, is he playing with a good travel org this summer? Going to the right events? What would you say are the main reasons he is not getting more attention yet?
All the comments about JC's are true as well although I suspect may not be a fit based on his academics. Still could be, depends on his career direction, budget, etc., etc.
He is on a well known travel team. He has attended some big events (that's where a D1 saw him and his been talking to him ever since, but it hasn't gotten more serious). Not sure what the reasons are but trying to get into stronger tournaments and trying out for fall scout teams are priority right now. His travel coaches have not been much help at all from a recruiting standpoint however son knows that it is up to him (with my help) to reach out to college coaches and try to garner attention.
