FWIW,
For years we have been asking players which colleges they are most interested in.
We probably have over 100,000 replies on file. I would have to search for a whole day and might not find any college lower than DI mentioned.
Sometimes we see a kid that might have low DIII ability, yet he lists the colleges he is most interested in as, UCLA, Stanford, LSU and Texas.
Only reason I mention this is it is very obvious what most every young baseball player wants. Reality sets in later on.
