@baseballhs posted:When my son did his first PBR, the director introduced himself after. The camp we went to the next week, the coach came over and started talking to my son and told him the PBR director had told him about my son from the week before (not the same state). We got a tour, sat down with the coach, and started weekly calls. Well worth the $250.
BTW, 3 guys at that little PBR event are all at the same P5 school.
Toby Bicknell was the Texas PBR Director back then, right? He is not the norm. Bick was a former college coach at the time and is back in college coaching now. He has a ton of credibility and his word got the attention of college coaches. I would contend that he had something to do with what happened. It’s very unusual for any of the PBR/PG/V Tool guys to have that level of respect in the baseball community. In fact I couldn’t name any current scouting service person that does. Very few of them have the clout that parents/players perceive that they do. But your story does point out how things happen by word of mouth more than posting measurables.
