Reply to "Recruiting the "mid-tier" player"

Tequila I would guess that the majority of folks on this site, except for a few exceptions, are exactly in the same boat as you are in.   Those of us with 2019s without offers are starting to get a little more anxious....  At this point its safe to say that the top tier 2019s are already taken up.  I have a RHP, not sure if that makes this journey easier or harder?    My only advice would be to get him to a big PG tournament on a GOOD team.      I told my son the other day that I want him to walk out to the mound in the spring and be able to say that he did everything possible this fall and winter to reach his full potential (athletically and academically).....if he can say that then all is good, no matter where he ends up or doesn't end up.   Never want either one of us to  wonder 10 years from now "what if I had.....".  Good luck and lots of good advice from those on here who have already been through this journey.  

FWIW, particularly for those of you with "mid tier" 2018's and 2019's...

I have a 2019 in our system who is, by everyone's assessment, a D1 kid.  He and dad have been getting quite anxious because he has had interest and dialog but no offers yet.  They keep hearing that D1 happens earlier now (sophomore summer-ish).  I got a call from the RC of a decent midlevel D1 that plays several P5's non-conference.  He was asking about this player but was nervous about offering because they rarely offer "this early".  They just finished with 2018's.  So, as it pertains to the mid-tier player, this is another data point that D1 mid-level and down generally still aren't pushing up their recruiting efforts much before the junior season is playing out.
