Just trying to get a better feel for the group.

If your player is no longer playing, what year (e.g. 2001) did they stop, what position did they play and what was their final playing level (e.g. HS, D1, D2, D3)? If they played in college, what conference did they play in?

If your player is currently playing in college, what is their grade (e.g. Red Shirt Freshman, Senior), playing level, conference and position? For example: Junior, D2, PSAC, pitcher. And, have they been at that school the whole time or did they transfer?

If your player isn't even in HS yet, what's their HS graduation year (e.g. 2026), playing position and have they ever reclassified or intend to reclass?

If your player is in HS, what's their position and graduation year? Have they signed their NLI yet? Are they verbally committed to a college yet? When did they verbally commit (e.g. October of Junior year)? If they signed or verbally committed, what level will they play at (e.g. D1, D2, D3, Juco.)? Where does that college fall in their division (e.g. P5 conference, mid major D1, Top 20 D2)?

Everything you need to know about me and my 3 sons is in my HSBBWeb profile.   

Francis brings up a good point (above) for some of the newer posters.   If you haven't already, please tell us a little bit about yourself in your HSBBWeb profile (click on your Avator at the top right of the webpage).   This helps the board better understand who you are and your baseball situation.

maybe you can explain your location "Nootka Sound"?  Tried to "google"!

How old is your son? Is he planning to enter College?

That locatoon was a joke based off an old Tom Hardy FX show. Son will soon be 17. Two years of HS left. He is committed to a very strong D2 program. From the school to the coach, everything checks all the boxes for him and his goal is to win a national championship once he is attending.

The information is in the profile. I always check other’s profiles when I’m not familiar with them. It helps to understand their perspective and where they’re coming from.

My kids grew up in a large state. I now live part time in a moderate sized state and a small state. The perspectives I hear at high school games are completely different and less informed than were my kids grew up.

College SR, D3, transfer. Has been contributor since day 1, started since mid sophomore year. More importantly deans list and recent grad school acceptance.

I have learned much and watched him grow up at the same time. He went from a semi scared kid in the 4 hole of game 1 freshman year, to the bench, to a transfer, to take a starters job, to becoming a leader....it has been a crazy ride at times but he is doing great.

Mine ticks a lot of boxes. He is about to finish his third year at Iowa, which would make him a junior in years. He has enough credits to graduate at the end of the semester, so is an academic senior. Because of credit for last year, he's a COVID sophomore for baseball.

Mostly he's a RHP who's working his fanny off to get the next start and be the best that he can be.

My son is a freshman RHP at Northwestern University; they are playing the first series of the season in the dome in Minneapolis this weekend! He is working hard to earn some time on the mound. He's had to quickly learn how to balance a tough engineering program with being a student athlete. This board was very helpful when my son went through his recruiting process - shoutout to @Gov!

My son is a 2024 C/OF - he switched high schools this past fall from the small independent school where I teach to a school in a bigger conference so that he'd have teammates who are going where he wants to go (HA competitive baseball colleges/universities). His first baseball practice is this Friday, March 5th.   Kid has not reclassed - his birthday is in late September, meaning that he is one of the oldest kids in his grade as it is (the PA cutoff is September 1st).

Washed up, Coach. However, had a great time during the ride! Assistant Coach of 1990 and 1998 State Championship Teams. Assistant Coach of 1991 State Runner Up. Head Coach of 4 Regional and one Sectional Championship Team at Triad High School. My teams average 23 wins per season until I resigned to watch my daughter play Varsity Softball. I conduct private lessons and coached her Select Travel Softball Team. Moderate two baseball websites.  BTW, I have been the Head Coach in 4 Varsity sports.  (Girl's Basketball, Girl's Golf, Softball and Baseball.)

My daughter became an NCAA 2 Time All American and Academic All American.  I am very proud of her!

BTW, I am Cannonball on the other site if you haven't put that together yet.  (Not to be confused with the other "Cannonball" on some of these political sites.  I don't have a clue who that person is.)

Son is a 2022 from the perennial baseball hotbed of Minnesnowta. Primarily plays C/3B/1B. He is newer to catching than other positions but enjoys it the most. The kid is solid in the field but his #1 tool is his bat. He skews HA (mid 30's ACT and + GPA) but has communicated with both HA and non HA mid-majors. I don't expect much to happen on the recruiting front until late spring / early summer and as a nervous parent pray that the right opportunities are still available at that time. I hope that he has the opportunity to continue to play in college (I think that being a part of a team is a great thing in college for multiple reasons) and he absolutely loves the grind and loves doing it with his closest friends.

He is a smart kid, works really hard, wants it bad, and I could not be more proud of him. Also very proud of his sister who plays D1 hockey (recruiting is much easier in that world than in baseball).

Profile inadequacy is a real affliction. Too bad my laziness still prevents me from updating my profile.
