I think overall the premise that you must throw X to be recruited is somewhat true, but I never like to paint everything with the same brush. I am a case by case guy, and there are just far too many variables. What is the connection the kid has with the program? (Coach, family, etc.) What is the families economic condition? (At the really expensive schools this can play a large part. Ryan was offered $52,000 out of $57,000 at a very expensive out of state school. All of that was based on our economics.) Where are you from? Are you in state or out of state? What is your projectability? Are you an RHP or LHP?

There are just too many variables to cross teams off your list, or to say that x school won't recruit you unless you are throwing x hard. It's just not the case.
