Recruiting Questionnaire

jkkmom - Welcome to the HS Baseball Web!

Its a good thing. It means that school is interested in keeping track of him. For now, thats plenty good enough. Your son should be excited, but he should also be inspired to work even harder.

Good luck and keep us up to date!

It could be what justbaseball said OR it could be the other 4 kids/parents didn't fill out the paperwork properly or completely and thus, no questionnaire.

Usually all campers get some kind of information after a while. It's just a fact.

While it is exciting to get any mail from baseball coaches, getting a questionnaire does not mean a great deal. But you should fill them all out, even if it is a school that your son is not interested in. Coaches share info and you never know...
You should expect lots more mail! But this site is a great place to come to get help in sifting through the process.

The questionnaire is the first step in the process--colleges do not mail questionnaires--they send them to a selct group


Go with it

I just wanted to let everyone know that I e-mailed the assistant coach last week to ask a couple of questions about this summer's camp registration since it is on-line only this year. My last question asked about the questionnaire. He replied the next day and told me that he does not send a recruiting questionnarie to all camp attendees and only sends them to athletes "who have shown possible D1 athletic potential and who could possibly play for [them] and be a contributor to a championship quality team." As you can guess, I'm a proud mom. My son is a sophomore this year and has last week learned that he will join the varsity rotation this year. He may pitch a few JV games in between his varsity appearances. He and two other sophomores were moved up, all of whom are pitchers. Our pre-season tournament is two weeks from today and I'm hoping for a great season for him and the team. My son is very humble but also knows he has an advantage of being a 6'2" LHP and he knows who to give the Glory to as he is the only left-hander in our immediate or close family. He still works hard, though, both on the field and with his private pitching instructor. He is also working harder in the classroom and spending more time with his homework. I wish I could keep him this age forever, but I know he is only given to me for a little while and he'll soon grow up and be out in this big world. So, I cover him in prayer every day.

jkkmom, thanks for the wonderful update! Sounds like the school has genuine interest in your son. That is a huge plus, especially at such an early stage!

Congrats on his being moved up to varsity! Being a tall LHP, he should prove to be quite valuable to his team. Best wishes to him this season!

I do beleive that these questionaires help to motivate the player on and off the field, it lets them know that someone has noticed.

Having a good sophomore season will determine how things will move along for him in the process.

Good luck!

jkkmom -
TPM is right...the questionaires help to motivate and it does mean that someone has noticed. (especially nice as a soph.)

Congratulations on your son making the varsity rotation! Keep us posted on his progress.
