Ours had a vested interest in our sons so they wanted them to succeed and helped in the recruiting process. Did a great job of making sure we were kept in the loop of any contact with college or pro scouts.

This — a good kid with strong work ethic (and skills) will earn this support from his coach. My son drove most of his own recruiting, HS coach was the reference and confirmed what the college coaches were thinking. i felt like the two worked well together throughout process.

Having said that, I suspect (but do not know) that my son's youth travel coach (coached him up til 14, but well connected in baseball) and a few others reached out on his behalf. I don't know it for sure, but I think in those cases, the coaches went out on a limb to push for my son and probably wouldn't publicize in case it wasn't successful.
