3and2Fastball,

Great topic (and reminder) for a recruiting thread. Everybody is busy during the season (especially junior year), so making the time is a great investment and fact finding mission for any recruit. So, we learned very quickly what the talent differences and skill requirements were between a Power5 school and Mid-Major for a 6'1" RHP just by watching a handful of games. Our area is a fabric of ACC, A-10, and CAA schools.

What provided the most value is my son was able to see these schools play early in the season in non-conference games which extended his ability to understand what other schools he might be interested in. I recall seeing Dartmouth play UVA fairly close in 2007 or 2008, and my son thinking that was very interesting. Little did he know in a few years he'd get his first college appearance (as a freshmen) against UVA in mop up duty.
