It was just released today on Harvard's website that MIT's recruiting coach switched over to Harvard staff. There are a few uncertainties that I have regarding this situation, the primary one being my current status with MIT. I talked to the coach this past summer, before he transferred to Harvard or before I was even aware he would transfer and he told me that I was a player he was interested in (I didn't think he could say more because of my current lack of concrete SAT/ACT scores; I'm a '11 grad). Does the fact that he's gone mean that MIT's new recruiting coach will not really have a strong idea of whom to go for in the recruiting process? Moreover, will this make it more difficult for me to get recruited by MIT?
Another somewhat related question - Since a coach that was previously interested me has gone to Harvard, do I stand perhaps an edge at Harvard since the guy already knows some background stuff about my baseball ability? I'm aware that MIT and Harvard are on quite different competitive levels but my goal is to play at a top academic school with a solid baseball program; I'm not necessarily looking at high-scale D1 bb programs.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post and feel free to recommend any actions I might want to take, if any.
