Re: Whitney Young 2007 Summer Team
Just saw WY play a game. I didn't realize how many travel ball players they had. A bunch of nice young men as well as good players. Gowder, Cinoman, Ormand, Rosa, Dai Bowden. Jason Ormand started, had good command and looked very poised on the mound. The short stop, Whitehouse (I think) is excellent.

I am in the gym. It gets very busy watching all of these WYHS basketball games, both Girls and Boys! There is a lot of b-ball talent there. This takes me back to 2005 when I ran an AAU level Clubbers basketball team with primarily baseball players; Robert Kennedy, Mike Olp, Dai Bowden, Angelo Burrrage, Gowder and Ormond along with a few CPS basketball ringers to give us some help.

Many come here without a wide enough net. As an academic 2019 considering D1 states thru D3's in a large geographic area, I would propose that his net is quite wide and he will have to put sufficient time into research and searching within as to what options will be realistic for him (narrow that net a bit).

Go to the events where the schools on your son’s vetted list will be. And those events should be ones where he will be seen by those schools. Vetted academically and athletically.

My wife complained that I made the initial post way too long! Sorry for that. For sake of brevity, hoping to find out two questions: 1) Do D1 coaches heavily scout PG national 18U Memorial Day tournaments? 2) Is PG 17U WWBA tournament in GA enough for a kid that is interested in playing DI? What's the next most important 17U national summer tournament as measured by D1 coaches in attendance? Bob- thanks for the question. Yes, he already has an Area Code invite lined up from a Yankees scout.

Re: 2019 prospect trying to finalize summer schedule
Out of state cost may not matter to you. But the percentage that becomes an athletic scholarship has to fit into the coach’s budget. This goes back to the stud value. But some state universities need to recruit out of state due to the limited talent base in their state.

Regarding the Memorial Day tournament you mentioned, I don't know anyone that's gone to that (from CA). At least in CA, HS teams are just finishing up and players are taking a breather and getting ready for JOs. Also, colleges are still playing so not sure how they'd be on the recruiting trail. I don't think it would hurt to miss this, IMO. Regarding the 17U WWBA, this is a great tournament no doubt. But, that's a lot of eggs to put in one basket. What if the coaches you are interested in...

Re: 2019 prospect trying to finalize summer schedule
I should add - regarding the 17U WWBA, you'll only play a couple games at Lake Point where the majority of coaches hang out. Most of the games will be on fields up to an hour away and very few college coaches make the trip in my experience.

Re: 2019 prospect trying to finalize summer schedule
Concur with Smitty here. Depending on which travel team he's able to get on, they may have preferred access to Lake Point (turf fields where the majority of coaches are). I believe the preferred access comes from teams having played in the WWBA tournament for a number of years.

Re: 2019 prospect trying to finalize summer schedule
We only got one game at Lake Pointe last year and due to rain delays, it didn't start until almost midnight. I only saw one coach there at that point. I wouldn't put it all in that. Area Code should be a good opportunity.

Re: 2019 prospect trying to finalize summer schedule
Agree with Smitty. Too many teams and not enough games played at LakePoint for each team to ensure he'll get seen in that one tournament. Definitely a tournament you should ideally play in, but it's one of several you'd want to attend. My 16u is lucky because we live in Atlanta, and his team will play in every 16u & 17u event at Lakepoint this coming summer. And we're still not counting on that to carry the day.

Re: Will Dustin Pedroia make the Hall of Fame?
When healthy, Pedroia was a good ballplayer who had the potential to make great plays and collect big hits. He was a little guy who talked a big game that he would often be able to back up, and Boston certainly would not have won the 2007 World Series without him. For those reasons, he belongs in the Red Sox Hall of Fame, but he shouldn’t make Cooperstown. https://www.insidehook.com/dai...star-isnt-hall-famer
