TPM,
Not sure how Coral Springs didn't have one prospect and 3 members of that team made All-County in the Miami Herald (not easy in SoFL)...their Ace looked like a D1 prospect to me (1.2 ERA, 82 Ks in 63 IP...impressive #s, especially in 9A in SoFL)...also looks like their SS was All-Tourney this past Fall in Jupiter (he also looked like a prospect to me in their District Final against PG's #1 HS Team in the country!). But, you know what they say about opinions & how everybody has one...
Not for nothing, but you realize none of that matters to recruiters and scouts.
Perhaps what TPM considers a prospect and what you consider a prospect are two different things. Are we talking draft prospect, D1-D3, JC, NAIA ?
It's nice to be recognized for accomplishments on the field, but when it comes down to it - they are just certificates on the wall or mentions on a web site.
In the end the only opinions that matter are those of the scouts and recruiters.
There were no D1 prospects ( sorry what I meant) on the team, but they had great pitching and did well. They also enjoyed playing and the new coach was loose and made it fun to play again. Out of the 6 seniors 2 will go play Juco and 1 either D2 or NAIA not yet TBD.They haven't had a D1 prospect in 4 years.
This is per the pitching coach.
