Tough pill to swallow and I'd hate to be in their shoes. At what point do you start to put your focus on best academic fit or the best potential to walk-on? I bet in four or five years there will be some great stories of kids who didn't get offered and were successful as a walk-on.

To be totally flippant, recruits should be looking at the best academic fit from the very beginning because most will not become professional baseball players...that is the tough pill to swallow.

In this market, calculated walk-ons are going to be a necessity. Having some inside information about a program is going to be very valuable. Typically the advice here is to avoid walking-on, but the reality is that 2022 will most likely be a walk-on palooza.
