Go for it.

Have you checked their current roster? Players come from FL, TX, VA, IL, GA, OK, CA, AZ, MS,

Where would you suppose he saw those players play?

My 2013 is one of the late bloomers(5'11,151) in FL, so we are looking north of us for sure. They chew em up and spit out down here in FL. They aren't looking for any projects down here and newcomers often find out just how brutally hot is the hard way. Great baseball all over the east coast and mine just wants to play sooner than later.

Lot of kids who live in FL head out of state, there are not enough good bb D1 programs for the amount of good players the state turns out each year.

A few years back I sat with the HC from Harvard at WWBA in Jupiter, he indicated to me that he attends the big events each year recruiting players from all over and enjoys watching them play in better competition.

Apparently it isn't just the players from the NE that travel south.

When my son was fifteen and I was trying to learn, I watched a Big East team's showcase camp. The existing players were in attendance helping out when needed. They had four all day sessions with thirty-six players in each.

After watching everyone hit I chatted with a couple of the team's pitchers. I told them I only saw three hitter's with major D1 bat speed. The pitchers laughed and asked which ones. When I pointed them out I was told those were the three invited by the coach after seeing them at East Cobb. They were all from the south. Everyone else was financing the program's spring trip to Florida with wheir tryout fee.

New Rochelle is the Battle of the Boarder tournament. Tom you are getting old.
