Letter from D2

It means whoever addressed the envelope can write!

Seriously, I'm not up to date on the when's, dates, etc. but getting something this early is pretty exciting! Fill it and any other correspondence you receive completely and return.

As a Sophomore they know you haven't got a lot of high school stats or test grades yet. But be honest with them whatever you do. Be sure to include any/all summer stats and list your coaches!

Good luck!

Division II does a lot of things differently


Fill out the form and return it---apparently you are on their radar, to what degree you can only ascertain after you return the forms

D1 and D2 do handle things differently. However, in this case, the rules are similar. From the D2 manual:

13.4.1 Printed recruiting Materials. An institution may not provide athletically related recruiting materials (including electronic mail and facsimiles) to a prospective student-athlete until September 1 at the beginning of the prospective student-athlete’s junior year in high school. Violations of this bylaw shall be considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1; however, they shall not affect the prospective student-athlete’s eligibility.

13.4.1.1.1 Permissible Date. An institution may provide educational information published by the NCAA (e.g., NCAA Guide for College-Bound Student-Athlete), institutional camp brochures (see Bylaw 12.5.1.7.1), questionnaires and nonathletically related recruiting materials (e.g., institutional admissions publications, academic publications, student services publications) to a prospective student-athlete at any
time.

So a brochure about an athletic program, as opposed to a camp brochure, is a "mistake", and should not be sent to you. However, even if the NCAA were to take notice of this, your eligibility is not impacted. Note that a camp brochure could contain information about the camp and its staff, which could include the coach's record at the D2 school, the D2 school's facility, nearby or on-campus attractions, etc. Are you sure it was a recruiting brochure?

The "prospect profile" is a questionnaire, and is legal.

If the brochure was about the school and not specific to the baseball program it is fine. The questionairre is fine and you should send it in ASAP. If the brochure was about a camp they run that's OK too.

Since the player is immune to sanctions in this case, then why not fill it out if it's legit. The player has nothing to lose
