I am a 2021 player looking to get recruited to a high academic school (IVY or D3). How will this Coronavirus situation affect recruiting? I have been keeping in touch with many coaches in preparation for the summer, but have not received any official offers.

I am guessing there won't be much impact. With Ivy's and HA D3's, the current student athlete, in general, will be more focused on completing his education than trying to get another year out of college baseball (and add on the associated costs of another year of schooling).
If anything, coaches of those schools that have their 2020 seasons cut short will just have more time to spend on recruiting and trying to make sure they are finding the best fits for their programs. So, since you are already in touch with many coaches, you are probably in good shape. Now, if this thing stretches out to where it is still affecting summer travel, that may present a new set of challenges for those counting on being seen at that time. And, of course, there will always be exceptions.
If coach’s seasons get shut down they will be easier to contact.
It shouldn't. High School ball isn't really that important in recruiting. What will be important is continuing workouts and getting better even if there isn't a team to play with this spring.
share some measureables.... have you tweeted video WITH MEASUREABLES to @flatgroundapp?
Check their page for what they want you to include and they will retweet to get you 1000s of views and exposure.
Also look at and try @Bookwormball for high GPA baseball...they'll retweet too.
You can only include 1 retweet account per tweet. But get some good video (with velo on a StalkerPro if you can) and tweet it out. Would be helpful to have some 3rd party tweets to retweet like PBR or PG.....
