@TXsportsdad posted:As of right now he is thinking JUCO so he can get back to DI, but we will see where that through process ends.
@TXsportsdad We are in very interesting time, more baseball players than what is being demanded.
It will take about 3 years to recalibrate flow of human resources.
Regardless of the final landing point at a 4 year school, look to see where the JUCO program has success with sending players to certain divisions.
As a Texas ballplayer, as Texas is very competitive, you might want to look at a JUCO program outside of Texas that has success placing D1 players in order to get the reps.
As stated in the movie "Fences", with Denzel Washington, "Some times you need to take the straight line crooked".
For Example, Iowa Western CC 2020
Distribution by State (Where are there players from)
2020 Distribution by Position
Additional Team Roster Insights
- Player Turnover Rate
- Transfer In (note, as accurate as listed by the school or player was previously on another school's roster, will not account for players that were never on roster)
- E.g. you son was at a D1 school, tried out in the fall, didn't make the team
- Decided to transfer schools, at his new school he tells his coach that he was at school xxx.
- The coach may or may not publish the information, secondly he was never really on the team. So the definition of transfer is gray
- Number of Alumni at 4 year schools in 2020
IMHO, keep you options open, being a big fish in a little pond that has success is not a bad thing.
The goal is to get quality reps and the right exposure.
Note, Midwest JUCOs are very successful in 4 year placement
Region 11 is very interesting.
