@PABaseball posted:I would say about 2-3 years ago there was an influx of new parents visiting this site which was great. There were lulls in the offseason as usual, but once Feb hit it was lively with updates from all different levels.
For a lot of them, instead of taking in the advice from people who have been there and done that, they would argue and tell parents of college and pro players/coaches they were wrong and their son was special/different. It seemed (to me) to drive a lot of regulars away and participate less - who knows, maybe I'm way off base.
I've definitely been less active since. But I'm nobody, the people with valuable knowledge and experience are the people you don't want to lose.
There's a lot of good information on here and some valuable minds. If you're willing to listen and come in with an open mind there is a lot to learn around here.
I remember that group. I think it was a little bit longer ago. I don’t offer as much as advice as in the past. COVID changed the recruiting dynamic. I’m more about just sharing the experience. It will always be about the player, the team, the coach, talent, health and academics.
