I know the NCAA has pushed recruitment dates until Jan of 2021. My 2021 who is not committed to any college (talking to a couple but have not seen him play) will be playing in WWBA this Oct. My question is has anyone had luck committing to a college after playing WWBA and how long before they contacted you? Thank you.

I wouldn’t expect anything to happen as a result of attending this event - especially this year. The exception MIGHT be if a your son is being recruited by a school that has coaches at the event AND they are there specifically to see him play. A position player has to play out of his mind to get attention from a school that didn’t already have him on their radar before the event. Most competitive D1 & a lot of better D2 schools are basically done with 2021 recruiting in this part of the country. It does vary by region. I don’t see a bunch of offers coming late from D1 schools once the dead period is lifted. Those schools already have more players than they need.
Probably the only roster spots available at this point for a ‘21 are at D3s. This isn’t what WWBA events are typically for. A player would be better off at an academic event or event local to the area he’s looking to be recruited.
Jayden, have your son email all the coaches he is in contact with and tell them he will be there at the WWBA event. Then follow up again when you have the game times and fields. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain at this point. Add in some fresh D3s if you wish, with the baseball "resume".
Good luck!
