Interesting times we live in. So you are a 2021 with several offers. Coaches are all in limbo. No one has money. Classes are full. Do you wait or jump on the offers you have?

If you are a 2021, I think you look to the " best" offer that you have from a school that has a track record of NOT overcommitting players and good retention. Best offer means different things to different people. There are plenty of schools, even some SEC and ACC schools that don't overcommit.
If your school typically averages 8-12 commits, that is safe. I would look at the rosters year over year and see what the retention rate is. This is really important. Tells you a lot about the culture.
If they average 14+ commits every year, expect a phone call right before signing day, because that is most coaches technique - to wait until you have limited options. The coach will say, you know that scholarship we talked about, but haven't signed yet, well as it turns out with all this craziness and unforseen circumstances, there won't be any money available. Of course, they do still want you as a preferred walk-on, and there may be money the following year. Yeah, sure there will be money next year.
The best offer with the smallest 2020 recruiting class, and the coach is still answering your calls.
I don’t envy your position and others. The recruiting process is tough enough, but now it’s upside down.
I think you’re in unchartered waters, so standard processes no longer apply. I would not want to commit and hope it holds up.
I would:
- Speak with coaches on a regular basis to stay on top of their moves
- Study their roster and history of moves
- Subscribe to D1Baseball who is creating a log of who is in the transfer portal (not official list)
- Try to determine who may be drafted, unexpectedly return
- Study the incoming 2020 and 2021 and assess honestly how your son compares
- Buy yourself time with your commitment with HC. If coach gets upset, determine if that’s BC he really likes your son, or if it’s cause for you to walk away.
Just ideas, not tried and true by any measure. But the right coach will understand the predicament you’re in.
Good luck!
If you're holding multiple offers right now, I think it's time to decide which school is right for you, and commit to that one.
Normally, with juniors, things at the higher levels are pretty close to closing out by mid/late June. With everything topsy turvy right now, I think you'd be well advised to get your sure thing while it's still there.
Good Knight,
Agree with Midlo Dad. It is time, if he's getting some P5 offers. If your grandson is considering the schools we've talked about in private I don't think your grandson can go wrong with any of them. Understand the academic, athletic and financial differences between the offering schools and think long term.
Best of luck!
If you're sitting on multiple offers I would recommend sitting on those offers until after the draft. I don't see the benefit of telling a bunch of programs no right now when the school you're committing doesn't know what their roster is going to look like next week. I'd wait, see who gets drafted, who signs, which seniors leave and make sure they still have money to offer you. Doesn't make a ton of sense to commit to a program right now when they don't even know what they're going to have.

Lots of good advice by others, especially this one! If you have offers, you have dialog. Communication. Communication. Communication. Ask direct questions as to how the current circumstances will affect the player's position in the program. Who is staying at his position, is the money affected, where do they see him fitting with consideration to the changes, etc.?
IMO the first thing you should try to determine is the posture that each school you are considering is going to take regarding corona seniors of 2020. This might not be easy to determine but it is a critical piece of information. I will use some (somewhat) hypothetical examples. If TCU has 8 corona seniors on their 2020 roster and 6 of them are coming back in 2021, and they are bring in a 2020 recruiting class of 18 plus some JuCo transfers that haven’t been made public, and your 2021 is a RHP what are the odds of him making even a 45 man roster? How much opportunity is he even going to get to prove himself if there are 55 players on campus in the fall? If he accepts a redshirt how much coaching is he going to get? (spoiler alert - none!). Look past the freshman year and consider the possible impact of the 2020 AND the 2021 MLB drafts being shortened to 5 rounds. For programs that take back a lot of corona seniors all this adds up to lots of players coming into the program and not many leaving - for the next 2 years at a minimum (and probably more). Look at this as playing a big hand of poker and you just got dealt a card that really decreases your odds of winning. It’s time to bet smart - now more than ever.
Take all this great advice. But just know that the, stretch the truth, factor from most coaches will go up a little during this time. Partly because they don't know who is going, who is staying, who is coming, how long they are staying, how much money they will have for 2021s, and so many other unknowns. They will hopefully tell you what they know but then will have to try to tell you what they don't know but not tell you they don't know. The fact that all the 2016-2019 class can come back makes you have to go back and almost evaluate like your player is a 2020 rather than a 2021 but add in the 2020 class. All the 2019 guys can be drafted after their junior season but they have the leverage of a 2020 class player. Mine is a 2019 but now can be drafted 3 years and plans on getting a masters so he will probably play four to five years somewhere to be able to get his masters and get it paid for, if possible, if he doesn't get drafted. But could play five years and still get drafted. This is a mess for everyone. Good luck
I don’t know how to say this any other way. The ruling by the NCAA D1 Council to grant an extra year of eligibility to all classes involved in spring sports affects baseball more than any other sport. And it does it in a way that will make it much more difficult for the players - especially the unproven ones. If you are a 2020, 2021, 2022, etc., the NCAA just hit the reset button on your recruiting process. Some of you just don’t want to believe it. It’s up to each individual school to decide how they will implement the NCAA ruling in their program. The answer to that will be a huge factor in determining if that school is a good baseball opportunity or not.
I'm sure I am the least knowledgeable of those who have responded, but I do have a few thoughts I'll share.
First, I have found that the coaches who made offers to my son where very communicative about their program and their thoughts about where he fit in, and in retrospect I found them to be very honest with their words (son has to ignore enthusiasm, hyperbole, etc and listen to the words). Listen to what they are saying, trust your gut. Accept an offer if it fits and you trust the coach, and don't if you don't.
Second, in spite of all that is going on, coaches will need a 2021 class. In my opinion coaches are biased towards younger players and they will push the older kids along to make room for the 2021s.
Third, is your son doing everything he can to get bigger, stronger, better? He needs to be doing everything he can. Assume Jupiter, fall scout ball, etc will happen and assume coaches and scouts will be out there taking a measure of players.

Good posts by adbono.
I would suggest that each program that has offered be contacted and specifically asked what the plan is for incoming players. Then make a decision based on what is best for the player and his family.
There is not necessarily a one size fits all. All coaches recruit based on their program's philosophy. And I am sure at this time HC have had conversations with their AD so they can move forward.
I feel a bit differently than some do about Freshman vs Seniors. For many many programs, coaches feel that freshman are the future of the program. You can see this more often in the schools in the P5 programs, who have very few seniors. Mid -lower D1 programs rely more on seniors and JUCO players. Some rely heavily on the draft to thin out the herd, and I am sure they have had discussion with their top prospects, who may not have a choice to choose to stay or go pro.
Just remember, no coach is bound to give any player more time than they agreed upon. If you signed an NLI for 4 years, a JUCO player for 1 or 2, as an example, unless you are a game changer, it's probably goodbye.

No offense, but you are the exact type of person that is set up for disappointment.
Coaches in top 50 D1 programs want to win. They are biased towards older, proven players because they can help them win. If it comes down to a choice that’s who they will keep.
Your 18 year old freshman isn’t going to outwork, outplay, and outthink a 22 year old man who has already proven himself to the coaching staff. On top of that, the chances of major recruiting events happening this summer are very slim.

Adbono,
No offense taken, and I respect what you say. I believe there are times when you have to rely on your gut and trust in the people you are doing business with. In my view this are one such time.
And to clarify, I didn't intend to imply that an 18 year old will outwork, outplay or outthink a 22 year-old, but rather it is easy for a 17-18 year old to take the foot off the gas right now, and this would be a mistake.
I don't think that most schools will need a strong 2021 class. They will have their 2019 class becoming their 2020 class and their 2020 class becoming their 2021 and so on for a few years except the true studs in each class. I think most of the 2020 class will be redshirted where they may not have been. So the number of 2021 guys that are needed will be crazy low because there will also be more juco guys available than ever before. I think the schools that overrecruited will especially not need many 2021 guys. Unless a player is a stud for his level, I would be really worried about playing at where you committed or were being recruited by before this. I think Corona and the NCAA decisions will affect the 2020 - 2022 classes more than anyone and maybe further down the chain. I think 2021 commitments could be in jeopardy because I think the landscape of college baseball will be so different. I'm afraid some will not get NLI's that had commitments. I hope not but that is my thoughts right now. That could change after it all is clearer. JMO

FWIW, I agree with 100% of this post - as reflected in everything I have posted on this subject myself
I believe a lot of freshmen will be farmed out to JuCos by the D1 coach they committed. Then they’re going to have a belief they will be returning in a year or two that will be much stronger than the reality.
A friend’s son was told after freshman year to play JuCo ball for a year to get playing time then come back. He had a great JuCo year at a prominent JuCo. Heading into junior year the coach didn’t make him an offer.
This was under normal circumstances. Imagine what happens with the log jam that will exist the next couple of years.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't believe most people planned to pay for 5 years of college, or divert to JC, so their kid can play baseball. This thinking applies to the top talents who see a future in pro ball, and these guys will get drafted before their 4th or 5th year anyway. I just don't see really great players hanging around in college for 4 or 5 years.
See that’s been my point also smitty. What people aren’t thinking about is yes the fr-jr’s got the year of eligibility back but what they didn’t and aren’t going to get is a 5th year of $$$$$$ at all. To me this will create a huge vacuum that nobody seems to be thinking about. Nobody is owed a 5th year to get their masters paid for and that never was the offer or should be the expectation.

If your son plays D1 or D2 baseball at a top 50 program, and plays for 4 years, you are being unrealistic if you aren’t planning on a 5th year. The baseball time demands are so great that a reduced course load is a must. Even in the fall. Most kids only take 12 hours in the spring. Unless a kid graduates HS with 18 college credits (or more) or takes classes in the summer (instead of playing in a collegiate summer league) he isn’t gonna finish college in 4 years (in most cases).

They can get a 5th year of money though. And if you're in a P5 conference, they are contractually obligated to give you that money as long as there are no disciplinary/academic issues. Yes, they are owed a 5th year, by the school and conference they signed their NLI with. That was exactly the offer.
It happens all the time when kids redshirt. They graduate and use their 5th year for grad school. Why should that no longer apply?

With all the exceptions this year I wonder if programs are required to provide a fifth year if the player graduates or is within a couple of courses of graduating. Regardless, the coach will make the offer if the player is worth retaining.
That’s interesting because every kid that I have seen, and I just checked with my head coach friend whose kid is a current D1 mid major player and he confirmed that when an NLI is signed it’s for 4 years of money renewing each year. Either way I think a lot of players will run out on money before eligibility is my point

I think you got your answer with the NCAA’s plan.... the seniors could get the same or 0. So that kinda tells me they have no intention of doing that. Not sure how they could financially? 3 years of every scholarship being increased by 25%??? Lol ... it’s the NCAA

I'm sure you are right about kids not graduating in 4 years, but most aren't playing college baseball their 4th year. The top rosters are not filled with seniors, in fact just the opposite. They are Frosh/soph loaded and only have 2-4 seniors. I don't see the "22 year old man" bias on the top rosters that you describe.

See what the rosters look like next year at this time. The rules have changed and it’s a new ballgame. I’m predicting what I think will happen based on my experience, what I know about college coaches, and the fact that any coaches that want seasoned players for an extra year now can have them. I could be wrong. But I don’t think so.

For years coaches have ushered seasoned upper-classmen out of their programs to make room for the new kids, and now all the sudden they say they are going to change their behavior/coaching strategies and slant the roster towards the older kids? I don't see these leopards changing their spots. But yes, we will see.

There was a link posted here sometime in the past few days. It was a video conference with 11 college coaches. They all said their schools would be renewing scholarships for all returning corona seniors who wanted to come back. Based on other posts I've read and what I've seen it seems like most schools will be making the same offers to their seniors. Don't forget, even the schools with athletic budget issues can afford to give a kid a 25% scholarship knowing the tuition is $55k. Schools can pull from their endowments and front a few thousand knowing they're going to make it right back. Plus athletes getting graduate degrees while also playing a sport reflects well on the school, coaches, and the program. It will be part of the pitch.
"Over the past 3 years we've had 15 guys leave with graduate degrees. They're getting a high level education and our tutors and academic support staff work with them to make sure they have time to take care of their business off the field as well"
Parents love to hear things like this. And the coaches will love it even more when that quote is partially funding their spring trip because somebody decided to send their kids to their camp because they want to play for a program where their kids not only graduate, but excel in the classroom.

I agree with you. I think that it was obvious why the committee agreed to give seniors another year, but for everyone else it just made a mess. Programs are covering that extra year, some I hear have raised money to cover tuition costs. Usually for many, many programs the senior class is pretty thinned out.
So with that being said, being that many programs do have large junior classes, I cant see many programs, especially the ones with tight budgets giving a fifth year.
Looking forward to next year.
To the OP and anyone with a 2021 sitting with offers, if it were my son lucky enough to be burdened with multiple offers, I would recommend to him to take the offer now where he is loved the most, assuming the academic side of things was relatively equal. Sometimes that love is as simple as it being the highest athletic offer, but of course intangibly there are other ways love is shown.
I read this yesterday from the Denver Post (quoting a D2 coach, but the notion is likely applicable across classifications):
At Division II Colorado Mesa, coach Chris Hanks signed six players during the early signing period and said he already has five too many for 2021. That’s put the brakes on recruiting for the RMAC powerhouse.
“It’s certainly slowed down our recruiting quite a bit,” Hanks said. “We’re getting a lot of inquires from transfers, Juco transfers, high school kids — but our program is in a holding pattern.”
https://www.denverpost.com/202...ra-year-eligibility/
Several other good quotes from other D1 and JUCO coaches in that article as well as a potential grad transfer.
As for the 5th year money discussion, I think a lot of academic scholarships are only good for four years. Since nearly all players are on a partial scholarship, even if there is 5th year athletic money, I would be less certain about 5th year academic money.
As a 2021 with no offers yet but multiple D1’s recruiting me, I’m extremely anxious and worried about this summer.

Interesting article and it echoes what some of us have been saying. The rules have changed and it’s a new recruiting ball game going forward. Each school has the discretion to handle corona seniors in whatever way they want. They aren’t going to bring them back and not play them. To me (regardless of what you have been told up to now) how a program treats corona seniors is going to determine the level of roster chaos in that program. If a school is bringing back 8-10 corona seniors I would be looking for options - especially if the seniors play the same position as your son

Go JuCo and give some time for the dust to settle. You will play for 2 years (instead of sit) and you will be more prepared for D1 baseball.

JUCO, D1, D2, D3, it doesnt matter unless coaches have seen you play.
You are in the same situation as many 2021 players.
Hopefully we will all be allowed out of our cages at some point, and you can showcase your skills.
Just make sure that you are prepared when that time comes. 
Send video to all the schools who have recruited you. From the video of coaches I watched, they said they are watching video all day.

Multiple D1’s are interested. You’re being recruited when you have an offer.

@camb3232
@FlatgroundApp and @Flatgroundbats to post and share your videos to get extra coverage, but like others have said good video with StalkerPro radar if you can to remove any doubt.
keep moving, keep hitting the weights, but on weight, get bigger/stronger. Keep running. Stay active.
You got this!
Hopefully "something" in summer happens, you might concentrate on those school's camps if you can or regional event, again if in your farming zone.
Keep in communication going and flowing. The coaches are in front of their computers more than any time in history. They're watching videos and making calls to verify. Keep at it.
Good video posted elsewhere Oregon, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Creighton, OSU, TCU, Tx A&M.

Skip the first 23 minutes to get beyond all the stories of the season ending.... picks up after that.
Good recon and information.
Good luck!
