Don't sign a Voluntary Withdrawal Form
This post is prompted by a call I received recently. I understand that an athlete may feel a ton of pressure if they're in an exit meeting with the coaching staff and they are being told something along the lines of "We don't see you ever playing for us and it would be better if you transfer. We'll help with your transfer if you sign this Voluntary Withdrawal Form." However, my advice is to never sign a Voluntary Withdrawal Form if the athlete can handle that pressure - especially if the...

Juco Scholarship Question
Hello, I am a senior in HS, and a local D2 JUCO head coach had recently attended one of my fall ball games, we talked after the game and he said he liked what he saw. He also said that he can give a max of $1000 to the athletes - he verbally offered me the $1000 on the spot, but I've read that the majority of D2 JUCO baseball scholarships are normally close to full rides. Is this true? Or is this a situation of funding with the school? I appreciate the help in advance. Thank You

Are College Camps Wort It?
Hey guys, had a quick question about a pretty gray area, college camps. I'm a high school pitcher, and one of my top schools emailed my coach. A few days later, I get an email to an 'Elite Prospect' camp for the same school, pretty expensive. However, if it has a legitimate value, or say recruitment chances, I will be more than glad to invest in it. Are these camps a revenue outlet, or do they actually have some recruiting value? Would my situation make it any different? There are less...

Re: Are College Camps Wort It?
Pulling back up an old thread as we are now trying to determine if going to elite prospect type camps are worth it. My son, a 2023, is pondering 3 of the prospect camps he has recently been invited to. They are all P5 schools. He has talked to two of the schools on the phone (they reached out to his showcase coach and asked for him to call them). One of the schools is in his top 5 list of schools and they seemed to be the most interested. He has actually spoken to them on the phone several...

Re: Are College Camps Wort It?
Unless he hasn't been playing fall ball or isn't 100% right now I would go to the camps of the two schools that called him. They are 100% useful in this situation - when a coach invites personally. If nothing comes of the camp don't sweat it, just two more schools you can cross off the list for now. Considering your son has been a freshman for not even two months I'm sure plenty of other schools will be interested if he is getting P5 calls already.

Re: Are College Camps Wort It?
That last paragraph is correct legally but not correct completely. You can still attend campus and watch practice, meet players, see coaches and have indirect conversations with them. So there are ways around the rules if the coaches/you know how to use them. They can be given a tour of facilities just not by coaches. So you can do everything you used to do just in a different way. It is done every week on almost every campus around the US.

Pitching fan is right. My original response was written last year right after the rule change went into effect and nobody knew how it was going to play out.

Not really. Each school is different . Most programs are not fully funded. Very few programs are at the 11.7 mark . Below is a fairly informative read on NCAA mens baseball and funding https://d1baseball.com/columns...seball-2015-edition/

Re: The 411 on helping your son play College Baseball
I’ll admit my first reaction was, “Oh boy! Another new poster who thinks he’s going to educate us morons here” while rolling my eyes. But I started reading with an open mind. There’s a lot of very general information. There’s also a significant amount of incorrect information. When I saw the recommendation of a recruiting service I stopped reading. By the way club baseball at a large university is not unofficial D1 baseball.

It may not have helped you, or you may not like recruiting services, but I found this particular one to be very helpful. I spend very little of the article talking about the service and I say in the article that if you don't do the heavy lifting, the recruiting service will not get your son to play baseball, but it does have value. I would have never found the schools I did with the service's suggestions of what schools my son was a good fit at. It would have taken me forever to find out...

By the way, I never said Club baseball was "unofficial D1 baseball." It's perfectly clear that I stated club baseball is not sanctioned by the universities. It's put together by the players who want to keep playing baseball with their friends. I even said the teams are funded by the players. Again, tell me all these things that I know for a fact, that my son and I experienced, that are untrue. Stop doing drive bys brother. Bring something to the table of value.

Also not a fan of recruiting services but if you have the money, spend it. I just feel there are better ways to invest your money. I also believe you send your stats in a small ration because coaches do want to know if you can hit. If you are hitting less than .300 in high school you probably can't hit in college and if you have a 9 era in high school you probably cannot pitch in college. It is not heavily weighed but it is information. I also do not believe club ball is anywhere near the...

Re: The 411 on helping your son play College Baseball
I’ve always been opposed to recruiting services but one of my son’s football teammates used one last year and went from being recruited by D2’s to multiple D1 scholarship offers and preferred walk on offers from numerous top end SEC and Big 12 schools. The kid was 6’4 with the longest arms I’ve ever seen and a huge frame so I’m sure that played a large role. But, nothing started happening until they used the recruiting service very late in the game.

Rocky ... There’s so much incorrect in your response you’re not worth the time. However, it did pick up two “likes” quickly on a slow morning. If I want to nitpick the picture in your article is of a D3 signing. D3’s don’t have NLI’s. It’s a staged faux signing to advertise the commitment. I don’t have a problem with high schools and high school athletes doing this. But for an intended informative article it should be a legit NLI signing. Have a nice day. Don’t forget to take your meds.

"D3: For the most part, these are the most highly academic liberal arts schools. They are often highly selective, and the student population is usually less than 2000. NYU, MIT, and Emory are D3 schools." Interesting that of the three examples you use, none are LAC's and all have enrollment much higher than 2K.
