Very few freshman are really ready to play on a daily basis at most college programs. That might include Juco, D1, D2, D3, perhaps even HA, NAIA.

Assuming that most college coaches are really good at recruiting players for their particular program, another would be that they are good at is preparing players to be an important part of the team, at some point in their career.

Tons of preparation goes into fitting the pieces of the puzzle together. In some programs it goes into preparing players that were draft prospects out of HS for the draft in 2 or 3 years. I watched a freshman pitcher throw 94 from the left side who will get innings as a reliever, probably be ready in 2024 or 2025 to be a starter.

Yes, a player should aim for a program that would be a good fit. Some want to get on by way of walk on opportunity. I know of one that did just that last year, after having a walk on RS freshman year, ended up throwing more pitches in relief than any other and made second team all SEC.

IMO, players should attend a program with a solid reputation of winning or preparing players for the next level whatever that may be.
