Has anyone ever had any experiences with C.P.A.? If you did use the service, is an incomming sophomore this baseball season too early to use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

COACH WADDY, I WORK FOR COLLEGE PROSPECTS OF AMERICA AND HAVE PERSONALLY HELPED SEVERAL HUNDRED ATHLETES GET INTO COLLEGE AND PLAY THEIR SPORT. ANY SERVICE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPLY YOU WITH SEVERAL REFERENCESAND PROVE TO YOU THAT COLLEGE COACHES USE THEIR SERVICE. ALSO, AN ATHLETE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE (STATS, ACHIEVEMENTS ETC. THAT HE OR SHE IS QUALIFIED TO PLAY AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL.
Tell me why this service would be beneficial for a high school athlete to use?
If a student/athlete is good enough the colleges will find him/her without the parents having to pay money for a service to do this.

BASEBALL IS A NON-REVENUE SPORT AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL. COACHES HAVE VERY LITTLE MONEY TO RECRUIT WITH. UNLESS YOU ARE A TRUE BLUE CHIPPER YOU WILL NOT GET RECRUITED ON YOUR OWN. IT'S THE SAME PROCESS AS A JOB SEARCH, YOU WOULDN'T SIT BY THE PHONE AFTER GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE WAITING FOR JOB OFFERS TO COME IN.

While that is true at many Northern schools, it is not true in the SEC conference the PAC10/11, the Big 12 or the ACC. Baseball is a money maker at most of the institutions in each conference.
You obviously haven't been to any games at LSU, Mississippi State or Alabama (the SEC is the conference that I am most familiar with) to see the crowds.
I was at Mississippi State when they had 14,000 people at a doubleheader versus Florida. Haven't been to an SEC weekend series game where there was less than 3-5,000. Mostly 5-7,000.

slide...I don't know anything about this service or this specific company.
I was fortunate enough to have met a ton of websters via this site and then via the telephone so I was able to gain some great insights as to these types of services; and, importantly, about showcases and how they are operated and how they are regarded.
The websters on this site were invaluable in so many ways.

i used the service and have received many many many recruiting letters from small division three schools from C.P.A. so if thats a choice to go to a college that is small i would say its a good thing to buy into but its way to much money.
