@pdogg1 posted:Venting is a good thing! I just wanted to make a few points to others on here that may fall into a situation like ours. #1, You do not need to play varsity or have any involvement from HS coaches to get committed. #2, There are plenty of good HS coaches out there that do right by players, but just as many that do not need to coach. #3, A good legit showcase team is well worth the money. #4, Hs is no where as important as college baseball. #5, Learn that life is not fair all the time and just work hard doing the right things.
I think it depends where you are from. In Florida, where I live, a red flag may go up if the player is strongly committed to a top program and never played varsity. And yes, a good legit tournament/showcase team is a plus.
And correct, life isn't always fair.
