@Northeastmom posted:If a RHP is throwing in the 90’s with great secondary pitches and ends up a high d1 recruit, could he potentially look at low to mid d1’s hoping to get more money? In other words, is there any chance a low d1 might offer 80% plus in a scholarship to get a top prospect in the state? If so, any reason going this route isn’t a good idea other than the ability to say “I committed at X college”?
In D1 baseball there is no such thing as a full ride. 11.7 among 27, 25% minimum, if fully funded is not easy to divide up.
Perhaps, a lower D1 ranked program may give up more to get a better prospect, but why would the player consider such a move?
Coaches usually don't recruit like that. They have to figure out how to best spend the money that they have to win games. That player may be worth one win a week if a starter and as mentioned may get 2,3 transfers for his scholarship.
If you are looking to cut costs on attending college, your son might strongly consider another option, D3 perhaps or a private D1 that awards grants and the player is then considered a walk on.
