Reply to "What Situation Would Make a College Coach "Pull The Trigger" and Make an Offer"

First of all you have to understand how much talent is out there.

Maybe a kid runs a 6.7 sixty but there are lots of kids who run that fast who also might be better power hitters.  Etc

Out of all the talent, across the hundreds of D1 schools, the cards start to fall in place.  

Some of it depends on factors you have no control of, maybe even most of it has to do with factors you have no control of.  Roster needs at individual schools really vary.   What you can control is your work ethic away from events, and your attitude, focus & hustle at events you are seen at.

"Deciding factors" could be hundreds of different possibilities.  At the travel program I coached at, the owner of the program was instrumental in getting players seen and placed.  Even with those connections, the kid still had to perform when they were scouted and their measureables needed to be in the range of criteria of what the school wanted.

if I could break it down in the simplest terms:  1) Verifiable measureables.  2) Performance at scouted events. 3) Somebody credible vouching for you who is a non family member...  And when there is an opening on a roster AND you can get through Admissions AND you are next in line on their board, an offer will come.
