I think this is a great topic and one that shows that there are things to be learned. First, we don't really know ALL of the circumstances and poster has not returned to expalin anything, we may have misunderstood soemt things. But brings up good points. Parents of younger players reading this can learn a few things. We can't always be there to watch our sons play, and if we are we are sometimes distracted. I I feel the end responsibility lies within the parent for watching pitch counts. If...

Re: NAIA / JC / D2 & D3 "signees"
Deuce: That was a regrettable mistake, for which I emailed all subscribers and coaches to inform them of it immediately after it was called to my attention. I understand the consequences, and I will do my best to ensure that will not happen again. I realize this is a late response to a Feb. 15 post, but for the 10 or 12 readers out there, I don't want them to think I'm negligible. Again, I apologize.

Re: Fair/Foul and New Replay Rules
Couldn't agree more and while I didn't think it possible, they appear to be getting more stupid by the season. I think this is a terrible idea and wish someone would inform the powers that be that baseball and football are not the same game. I would much rather they spent the resources they are wasting on this on training, assurance, whatever the umpires need. Oh, and Tim McCarver is the worst announcer in the history of baseball.

Re: Admission Standards
For a school with "high academic standards", their coach seems a bit out of the loop. They might want to inform the coach the scale for SAT's changed. The scores you listed would be rather low on the new 2400 scale.

All fo the schools that we visited this year DI-DIII have said that for the class of 2007, they are still only considering Reading and Math score from new SAT-there's just not enough stats yet to know how to use them.

Re: Philosophy
In no particluar order: Strength, conditioning and agility program for pitchers, off season and in season. Should include guidelines for limits on lifting for younger players, i.e. 14yo freshmen. Policy on how much throwing two way players should or shouldn't do during practice in addition to pitching and bullpens. Policy on integrating throwing done with a pitching instructor into school's throwing and pitching work. Tough for some pitching coaches to deal with but hey, it's a reality.

Re: Recruiting Services
I agree 100%. The coaches do not use the systems, the prospects do. Whatever system a player utilizes will work if the coach is looking for the traits that the player posesses. This site supplemented by showcase and summer team exposure is the first step. Next, I would focus on a site like getmynameout.com, or berecruited.com. These sites offer you a complete e-mail contact system to all colleges in the nation, allowing you to send a link of your player profile along with a video link. It...

Re: Scouting Websites
You don't build the site and hope for "hits". You build the site and communicate with coaches through their email database and provide a link to your profile as you inform them of events that you may be participating in should they wish to scout you. It is a site that requires you to be proactive, and gives you the tools to be just that.

We have had interest from some schools we respectfully told are not in his future. So just as we do not want to be jerked around by schools that have no...

HitandRun, This is a bad situation, but on the surface, there is nothing contrary to NCAA rules.

Furthermore, some JC players won't commit until after the draft, because the target 4...

I understand what you're trying to communicate to us TR, and I appreciate your sincerity. But as a parent of a rising senior (2011), I would want my son's HS Coach and/or his travel-ball coach to inform my son of possible interest from college coaches. I think it can be done tactfully without giving him "false" hopes and in a realistic manner. Not to mention, as you stated earlier, it's still relatively early in the recruiting game. The next four months are pretty important for kids that...

Re: For the Parents
I can see both sides of this communication issue. As a parent I want to know as much as possible as to who is noticing my kid. I think it helps the player to know that he is being noticed by building his confidence and knowing that his hard work is paying off. I can also understand a coach not telling a parent of every inquiry they get about every kid. Some may turn into a phone call but most probably won't. An experienced coach like TR should know one from the other and know when to inform...

Re: For the Parents
In my experience recruiters first watched the players and talked to the coaches to find out type of player son is and maybe get some back ground info on him. Coaches some times pointed out players to a recruiter who coach thinks may fit into their program. Coaches have to be honest with the colleges. I know of a college who made offer to a players they never saw play based on the coaches recommendation. So I imagine if asked the coach will also inform the recruitor he thinks your son can't...
