Before anyone gets their skirt in a tither, please understand that I had a son that graduated from _____________________and I have a younger son (currently a high school freshman) that wants to attend ________ down the road.
While browsing through various sites this morning, I read where ___________ signed 16 players.
Since you can only play 9 players at any given time...I stopped to think....Maybe more kids (than 9) can play at one time at this particular school and I haven't gotten the news just yet.
Went to the website for _________ baseball...Checked last years roster and they had 35 players. 5 were seniors.
Remembering the Math that I learned from Sister Alfreda years ago, I concluded that 30 players are eligible to return and 16 new recruits will be on campus for a total of 46 players!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBVIOUSLY, AND PAINFULLY OBVIOUSLY TO MANY OF THESE RECRUITS, they are being sold a bill of goods!!!!!! What do the assistants and the head coach tell these kids when they get recruited?????
Doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what is going on there since I would respectfully suggest that there will be some sort of "try out" of the recruits when they get on campus. Some, of course, will head off to various junior colleges in the state that likely feed ____________when the players mature, academically and baseball-ability-wise.
Why, do you think, the NCAA permits this to happen?
