On over recruiting at the D3 level, a good friend’s son recently committed to a well known competitive D3 program that is also a very well known academic institution.  They are known to “over recruit” based on roster size. The dad asked coach very directly about it when they went on their official visit.

The coach responded that a number of the kids on the roster are coming to the school no matter what, with or without baseball, and were not recruited for baseball or given any false promises about their future role on the team.  This makes sense to me and I would assume is similar at other high academic D3’s where kids are 99% academically motivated to attend and “oh what the hell, I will give baseball a shot if I can make the team”.

I am not sure how you could parse these kids out when trying to determine how much “over recruiting” is really going on.
