EMAIL ID'S REVISITED

This great advice. Our Son got a new email account for this very reason. Plus he wanted his name in the ID to help identify him. He uses his first initial and last name as part of his ID. This account is for Baseball and College purposes only.

That is the way to go

OH please. No college coach is gonna not recruit a player because his email address is onehotstuff@yahoo.com if they can throw 90 mph plus or can hit the ball 450 feet.

They only care can you play at their college and most of players who email,write, call coaches cant and will not play college baseball

I agree with using an ID that is a bit more "professional" for a recruit and shows players maturity.

Same goes for the message you leave on your cell phone.

OH Please--I guess Andy May is back under a new ID Jack Bauer--is this permitted by the licenscee Andy---?


Jack you know not what you speaketh---in fact as the game says YOU DON"T KNOW JACK !!!!


Another day another AOl Playground kid with no pail and shovel

If u don't think everything you do or don't do can impact your ability to be recruited and offered a scholly by a school then so be it. While you are at it just blow off your senior year exams, and don't return phone calls or e-mails to coaches, and make sure u tell a coach u really don't think much of his program because none of it matters as long as you hit 450' bombs.

Is your e-mail address a deciding factor probably not on its own. But to show some maturity and not have an e-mail with some of the following names probably would be a good idea.
beerdrinker@
partyboy@
drunkandnaked@
weedman@
lazya$$@
stonerdude@

Not to mention having your name in the e-mail address will make it easier for the coach to identify you...I'm sure thats a bad idea.

Anyone who suggests that how you represent yourself to college coaches doesn't matter as long as you can throw 90 or hit bombs, has very little experience around the game.

How a player represents himself is very important and nobody should suggest otherwise. The overwhelming majority of players aren't the elite blue chip level player that every college covets, so they need to do everything possible to stack the deck in their favor, especially with easy to control things like behavior and image. Even the very most talented will fall away if their baggage is more than should be put up with.

First impressions count, don't ever believe otherwise.

Mr. Bauer, May, Dibble ect... has never been about helping the kids on this site. He'd just as soon discourage a kid from trying to play at the next level. Why? Who could know?
