Ok, my 2017 has a plan I've helped him with (a lot, to be clear) and it includes targeting a few showcases (Stanford and Headfirst) and following up with specific college camps (if he's fortunate enough to get some interest).
Then, today, I talk to an assoc. AD at son's high school and he says all a kid really needs is to send out a good highlight video and transcripts/test scores.
I say, "You mean a coach doesn't need to see a kid in person?"
He says, "No, a good clear video is all he needs."
"Even if the kid is on the ever popular bubble between D3 and lower level D1?" I ask.
"Doesn't matter," says he. "Coaches just need video."
"You sure you"re talking baseball?"
"Yes."
Holy crap.
Questions or comments?
