First suggestion: How schools decide who to offer when there are hundreds in a graduation class all with similar and great measurables at a particular position. Is it grades that separate the players Something else? Is it a gut feel where something intangible about the player just resonates with the coach?
Second suggestion: College rosters this fall are brimming beyond capacity like never before at every level. Some schools are cutting baseball programs. Several schools are not funding all of their scholarships. At least one school has already canceled their spring season for 2021. The transfer portal is jammed up and bursting. How does this now impact the somewhat "business as usual" transfer after freshman year that has happened in the past in college baseball? How does it specifically impact the 2020s? And, what's the downstream for the 2021s and 2022s? How important is it now for the 2021s and 2022s to do their homework and make an honest evaluation of their talent and choose a level, school, program where they are very confident that they can succeed and stick for their entire college experience?
