Hello everyone,
To those who have seen my previous posts, I'm a current college senior with one year of eligibility remaining at a Division 2 institution, and I'm looking for a place to play for the 2015-2016 school year, ideally, as a graduate student. So basically, up until now, I have sent out emails to every program I was interested in, got a few responses ranging from "no" to "send video" to "visit campus." I am just about wrapping up my summer season, as we're ending in about a week and a half.
My summer ball coaches told me that they would help me look for a team, and I plan on not returning to our university's club team I was playing on, and taking this year to get myself physically and mentally ready to pitch at the NCAA level. I plan on taking this whole year just to get stronger, work on my game, increase velocity, etc. I know my summer coaches said they would help me, but I am looking for more options or connections if any, just so I could have more options and hopefully find a place that's well fit for me.
So now, during this time, what are the next steps to take, if there are any, for me to hopefully land myself a spot on a D2 roster? I know my summer coaches said they would help, but is there anything else? Should I treat this as a business and try to establish networks with coaches/scouts as much as I can? Should I ask to attend camps? I know I have a year, but to be honest, I don't have the slightest clue of what to do now or where I am even going to go.
I'm fairly new to the recruiting process, especially for my unique situation, any advice would be greatly appreciated, and I appreciate all the advice I have gotten from others on this website so far!
