-Recruiting 101-
Your Guide Through the Recruiting Process!
Are you finding the recruiting process tiring, confusing or intimidating? Most players and parents do. You owe it to your son and his future to educate yourself from start to finish on the recruiting game. Have you considered the following:
-How can I best promote my son?
-What are college coaches actually looking for in a prospect?
-How does scholarship money get distributed throughout a team?
-What kinds of financial aid may be available for my son?
-How do I know if a school is sincerely interested in my son?
-What should my son look for in a school, baseball program and coach?
-What is the difference between a junior college versus a four-year school?
-How do I handle my options as the MLB draft approaches?
-What kinds of questions should I ask on a college visit?
-What are the rules that players and coaches must abide by?
-What does a verbal commitment really mean?
-What are the advantages/disadvantages to my son signing a letter of intent during the early signing period?
These are just a few of the questions that people often ponder while having to make one of life’s most challenging decisions. Our staff has quite a few years of experience as a college recruiting coordinator, and on the other side of these question marks. E4 owner and Diamond Prospects’ David Beckley has 17 years of D1 Recruiting Coordinator experience to council you now!
