I know four 2011 grads who have signed with schools whose coaches have moved on over the past few weeks for a variety of the usual reasons.
As far as I know, all four are solid in their intention to honor their NLI's and do their best under their new coaches. Even so, they will be reporting in this summer or fall to play for coaches who didn't recruit them and don't know them.
I wonder if some folks here who have observed or lived through this kind of situation could give any advice or share their experiences: do's and don't's, warning signs, wisdom for pitchers, wisdom for position players, horror stories, success stories, etc.
In case you're wondering, yes, one of those four players lives in my house. His plan is to show up and outwork everyone just the same as he would have if there hadn't been a change.
Thanks.
