This weekend.
Our team. All juniors in high school.
Here is what I heard all weekend:
What college coaches are going to be here?
Hey - the coach from *** University is here.
I got a letter from *** - did you?
Who is going to verbally commit?
Did you hear that *** college is interested in ***?
The pitcher we are facing today is going to *** University next year.
Did you get invited to the *** showcase.
And from some of the parents.
What school is your son interested in?
Did he get any letters?
My son is taking an official at ***.
My son got a letter from *** University.
My son needs to rest for the *** showcase.
And on and on and on and on and on and on.
Only one problem.
They all forgot about playing the games this weekend. You know - the actual baseball games that we were there for.
IMO - One of the things you young fellas have to remember is that the talk is fun - but you actually have to play the game. And play it well.
I am not totally sure of that anymore - but I think I may be right. LOL.
It really reminds me of a feeding frenzy - gone terribly wrong.
