Is HSBBW moving to CBBW?

" I just thought it might benefit the site to try to include more people on the incoming side rather than concentrate on those who are among the best on the outgoing side. "

Functional model

Incoming side = need to know

need to know = need to ask outgoing side

Dysfunctional model

Incoming side = need to know

need to know = need to ask Incoming side

When I came to this website 10+ years ago my motivation was to help my son get to the next level.  I don't recall many discussion about HS games or kids names etc.back then.  I am guilty about once posting about my son's college playoff game.    In my mind the  main purpose/discussion of HSBBW doesn't seem to be any different then 10 years ago, except the names have changed as have some of the recruiting rules and  there's always somebody/people looking to burn the place down

We should have a "historical" not so golden threads titled "10 years ago today on the HSBBW" or "2004, I am right, you are wrong, your kid clearly made it to pro ball w/o any help from you don't even pretend to know anything"   for the laughs.

btw:

Discussions about particular HS kids or HS teams always turn ugly, not sure I want to see another "NorCalPreps" here. 

I've been around here for quite a while-my sons were playing high school ball when I found this site. My two boys are now 29 and 26, working for a living, and both help with our college summer wooden bat league team-and it is very neat to be able to carry the baseball conversations with my sons on and on.

Most high school player parents that land here have boys with college aspirations. Not all but most.

I don't get here as much except to occasionally post about college summer leagues as that's what i fell into after my sons' careers ended...but I love to read the "newbies" and enjoy the old dogs helping them based upon their experience.    And that's what this site is all about-giving help and advice about baseball, and sometimes life. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I think the reality is, like most original "ideas" they ultimately evolve to encompass much more....while HS BB is the title of this website, it also entails the following:

- Hitting / pitching mechanics, stats, coaching philosophy, HS politics, weather, college recruiting, pro scouting, Milb, MLB, advisers, scouts, showcases, tournaments, etc..etc..etc..

If this site was only any one of the above, it would not be visited as much, nor have as many talented contributors.  At any given time you will see either of the above topics, and more in the threads.  As others have mentioned, many topics are seasonal depending on the time of the year.

Many, if not most original ideas / concepts morph into other areas, and in this case, I certainly think for the better.
