In our experience, there definitely were calls to my son’s HS coach when he was being recruited. They were cold calls after seeing my son’s contact info in perfect game or PBR, plus some in response to my son’s outreach even though he also gave the travel coach contact info. My thought on why that might have been is maybe the HS coach has a better idea if a player can meet the demands of the sport and school at same time, and also can tell if the player works hard even if it’s “less important than travel ball”.
