My son's experience in the recruiting process just contradicts what the coach sent out in his email. It certainly doesn't make him wrong or me right. It's just a different philosophy .

No question each individual player's recruiting process is unique. In my 2017's case I'm sure that coaches seeing the kid play in person was the ultimate deciding factor, but I'm equally sure that being able to show these coaches a good video also had a major impact on the process, especially since my kid did very few events, so most coaches saw him only once in person. Typically what would happen is the coach would reach out to express interest, and the kid would send a link to his video, and the coach would come back with stronger interest and positive comments about what they saw.

Just to be clear, no school will offer your son a scholarship because they saw him on video. They will, however, add him to their follow list, which leads to seeing him in person to further evaluate.

Video is PART to the equation. I can tell you that at least 34 D-1 schools are EXTREMELY fired up to see the coastalvabaseball.com Showcases being streamed online. Why? They want to start the evaluation process.
