maybe it was wishful thinking on the part of the player/kid... but at 5'2" and 105 lbs, at age 9, he does have a National ranking on Perfect Game.

??????????????????
Instead of quoting PG, I will ask the same.
???????????
I believe he is talking about this kid:
www.perfectgame.org/Players/Pl...ofile.aspx?ID=532720
Obviously his parents or whoever created the profile put in his "commitment" to Clemson. But he's also interested in Harvard, so maybe he would flip his commitment if a high academic came calling?!
Wait a minute, my younger son is a 2025 . . . if 2026s are committing, does this mean he's behind in recruiting?!?!

No.
How about PG making bank on 9u tournaments. Did they hAve to pay for parking at Lake Point?
According to sources, it's a joke, disregard. Maybe the intention was either to diss PG or the Tigers.
I mean seriously, does anyone really think a program like Clemson needs to go after 9 year olds?

What is your point?
Wasn't my intention to start a squabble, but I just thought it was funny someone put that on their 9 year old kids profile. I never take those commitments seriously, but this one was a little funny

I didn't mean you, I meant whoever posted the info about the player.
Son spoke to one of the coaches at Clemson. He (DK) laughed. I think that was a reliable source.
It wasn't garbage, and I personally resent that remark.
Probably not the case here, but I've seen schools "offer" kids with terminal illness.
Given Jack Leggett was the Clemson coach until a couple of years ago this has to be some kind of joke. It's either a family member or a shot at the family.
Or it could be test data that accidental got displayed. I've seen IT people create mock data then accidently display it. At Time Warner Cable a person was fired when his mock data showed up on a mailed bill.
the beauty of this IMO is that there is actually headline and conversation. This one may be silly but someday it will happen, we have seen how many kids in 8th grade being recruited....they have not taken 1 freshman class yet and committed to major public U's that claim to be good schools...colleges get what they deserve!!
They can clean it up if they want to!

You always can provide such great info. Parents must be Tiger alumni! Every Tiger alumni wants their kids to carry on the tradition!

I don't understand this comment. Lakepoint owns the parking lot, they charge a fee. As with any tournament there are fees associated with it.
Triple crown one day tournament cost = $295.
PG one day tournament cost at Lakepoint $225, plus $5 parking, plus $5 per person entrance fee (kids 14 and under free).
Many 9u kids think it is the height of cool to play on a turf field. I think it's both reasonable and very cool that PG has 9u events at Lakepoint.

LOL! He's a little raw in the video, but a good scout will be able to project him 14 or 15 years out.
Threadjack unintended, reminded me of the time when my son was 5 or 6, we were in the cul de sac and i was throwing fly balls super high for him to catch. The balls were that squishy-ish youth tee ball and he misjudged one and it landed smack in the middle of his forehead. After crying and calming down and upon further inspection....he was fine and no seam marks i gave the the most valuable advice i could think of at the time "Never catch the ball with your face." He's always been a really good outfielder, i like to think that lesson that day in the cul de sac helped hone his abilities.
Colleges are getting verbals from middle school girls for softball. I am not familiar with verbal offers and criterias. I'm assuming the usual from the school, SAT/ACT, core classes, gpa, etc. Do they also attach a performance clause, all league, top % in Max Preps, injury, and the like? I understand verbals are not binding but I know it is frowned upon if either side changes mind without a valid "reason". The main question is why would an athlete limit their choices at an early point in their career when after they produce theoretically can have several schools bidding for them?
