Just curious as to who we're after recruiting-wise. Baseball doesn't seem to get the interest/coverage as the other sports.
Anyone on the inside in the know?
It all comes down to how many you can get to campus. Unlike football and even basketball for that matter (w the one and done kids), baseball recruiting rankings are hard to get overly excited about until after the MLB draft, especially the first ten rounds. The best HS baseball players get drafted very high, and usually go pro as the signing bonuses have gotten so large.
Of course, it's still nice to have lots of talented recruits since you get lucky sometimes and kids can get injured their Sr year, think they are being undervalued by MLB, etc.
Gino has always been known as a good recruiter; we'll get to see about his game day and head coaching ability this year.
Thanks,
I know a kid that is being recruited, but he's at a JUCO in SW Florida. He was originally headed to South Carolina, but they fired their coach and he was lost in the wash. He decided to go JUCO rather than fall back to FGCU.
I was just curious if there was a database for prospects.
