Reply to "Window post Showball and Headfirst"

What is the window for meaningful contact post each showcase? Day after, week after, two weeks after for a kid that's a borderline slot kid for good DIII program? We're getting close to the finish line now for a 2021 RHP, so just curious about others' experiences. I know studs get contact probably on the field after a great showing...thoughts? 

Past experience is not really a great indicator for 2020.   Projected D3 studs that require help with Admissions (slots) will be contacted immediately as the school has to sell themselves to the recruit, and figure out which slotted athletes they are going to get behind with Admissions.   The rest of the recruiting class (based on position need) is about two weeks out from a showcase such as Showball or HeadFirst based on feedback from other posters over the years.  A handful of HA D3s tried to pull my son in immediately for their prospect camp and book an overnight unofficial visit in September as they knew other D1 HAs and D3 HAs schools were in the recruiting mix.    If you've ever been in a college coaches office you'll see a recruiting board or boards with lots of names by position and graduating year.  They have it charted out pretty well who they want and the depth chart.   If he has a great HeadFirst, he may move up in the coaches eyes and their depth chart.

Good luck at HeadFirst! 

BTW...You're not close the finish line date.  The finish line date (historically mid-Oct) for D3 has always been the ED or ED1 application deadline, and there is always a flurry of activity right up to it.   You've got time.
