To any of the "great minds" that have chimed in on this, I'll do you a favor. I'll keep copies of e-mails, mailings, text messages and phone call records on me at all times, so that you can fact check. Feel free to approach me at any workout/tournament etc. and I'll gladly share that information with you. This would require 2 characteristics that we teach our girls, that you certainly do not have: Courage and Humility. You apparently do have a fast internet connection and nothing better to do.
You may want to research where the big D1's are on their recruiting classes. When Larry Ray(Arizona) and I sat down this August, I was a little suprised where they were at, and who they had coming on campus for unofficial visits. Things have changed. DFW has 2-kids that are 2013's with verbals to the Big 12 right now. So where do you think the teams from last years College World Series are with their recruiting? I have an idea, since I handed out some information to 2 of our players from a WCWS team last Saturday during tryouts. FYI, the school did not attend the winter camp.
It changed everything we do with recruiting, when we start and who we start in the process.
You may want to become a believer sooner than later if you have a kid with the ability to play Major D1 ball, the window for those kids is closing earlier each year.
Keep calling BS, but you're the type who is going to find out the hard way with your own kid.
P.S. I'm glad to have a civil conversation about this with anybody, from any organization. While we want the best for D-BAT kids, we do try and help out some friends at the college level as well. When they contact me about a player, they also tend to ask about other classes and specific needs.
FYI-there is a top 25 team from the Big 12 still looking for a 2012 Lefty Hitter. We didn't carry 2012's in the Fall, so guess what? I'm suggesting kids from other teams.
