California juco commitment

H havanajay500+ posts

I had a question, well maybe more seeking advice for my son.  As many of you are aware, California jucos do not give out scholarships, basically an open ended commitment in that I'm guessing you're technically fair game until school starts.  If one is already committed to a CA juco, I'm guessing that precludes them from recruitment by other CA jucos, well generally speaking.  Now I understand that they can still be recruited by any NCAA or NAIA school, regardless of the division, but how does that work if a different state's juco (part of NJCAA that offers scholarships) comes knocking?  Would/should a NJCAA's recruitment practice mirror the NCAA/NAIA since they offer scholarships?  or do they generally back off once they know you are already committed to a CA juco?

 

And how should the player handle it?  Meaning does he tell the current coach that he is being recruited/offered or do CA juco coaches usually expect that? 

 

Any words of wisdom about this would be great...

Sorry, this may be too late.  It is my understanding that Calif JC's have geographical restrictions - something like they can only recruit players within their immediate area.  But this is only one way, meaning the restrictions apply to the coach/program but a player from out of the region can initiate communication with the coach/program.  So, this restriction eliminates the scenario you describe in most instances.

Huh...

 

Check out the roster from Cabrillo College here:

Fairly wide geographic range in CA represented there.

Yeah, like I said, the player can contact the school.  So there are some schools that have desirable location or program or other where you will see players from a wide range of hometowns (Cuesta, Santa Barbara CC, Cabrillo) and some schools with pipelines where HS coaches from other areas are referring players to a school but most Calif JC's have rosters full of players within the tight geographical region of the school.

Jay;

Have you studied and compared the California JC schools. Academics and sports.

 

The coach does not know his roster until the 1st week of practice. Here at SRJC one of the strongest baseball programs in the State and an outstanding Academic program of 30,000 students.

 

In the Fall, there will be over 80 players "trying out". Later in November -  SSU will send over several players who have decided not to "red shirt". Be ready!

The JC close to where I live (Western Nevada) has had players from Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alaska etc on the roster.  Usually it is made up of guys from Oregon, Washington, Cali and Nevada.
