@Francis7 posted:My son is a 2022. I'm guessing between PG and PBR selling their databases, he's on the mailing list for 750 college camps. Everyday for several weeks now, he gets what seems like 4 or 5 emails PER DAY "inviting him" to attend some college camp SOMEWHERE (at D1, D2 or D3).
Everyday. Several per day. For many, many, weeks - maybe months? And it's still going on...got some today already.
Now, I get it. Everyone is an unpaid assistant and this is how they feed their family and pay their rent. And, I am totally sympathetic to someone trying to make it as a coach in baseball.
But, honestly, at this point, it's obvious that most schools are done with their 2022s, all things considered. And, there is almost no chance that a 2022 attending a camp as a result of getting one of these mass mailing campaigns is going to get an offer to play at a school.
If you want to go after the 23s or 24s now, I get it and that's less exploiting than going after the 22s.
Isn't it sort of shameful for these schools to be preying on those 22s who don't get it?
This is why it's a good idea for the kid to set up an email address for baseball recruiting only and just ignore it once that process is over.* Also, Gmail does a really good job of separating the wheat from the chaff.
*make sure college coach has his "real" email.
