Reply to "Over-recruiting at D-III??"

I'll add this from the perspective of a parent of a sophomore D3 player:

Even if a player earns a roster spot and playing time as a freshman, that does not guarantee that he will earn the same or more the next year! Just like the D1 and D2 levels, my son's coach is continually recruiting to make the team stronger, including bringing in JUCO transfers. This year there are two Junior pitchers who transferred in and may bump my son down in the pitching rotation. Most weekends this fall there are JUCO (as well as HS) recruits visiting, some of whom will compete with him for innings next year. My son sees it as the coach doing his job to help the team win, and my son has the very same job - work to improve himself so that he can help the team win also. There are no guarantees of playing time at any level of college baseball.
