Baseball recruiting question??!

[Homedawg]

How do you not understand this sentence? The best 14 year old amongst all 14 year olds in their high school rarely is the best 17 year old amongst all the 17 year olds in their high school. Get in now?

Sorry but this is just false. Now are ALL 14 year old phenoms the best? No. But to say that it never happens dumb. Matter of fact it's more often than not. Not the other way around.

Don't get mad at me for not typing out what you meant to say.

What you actually said was, 'Almost no freshman in the country end up being the best players on their own high school team by the time they are seniors'...which basically makes no sense. What you said would mean that no freshmen, regardless of skill level, ever become the best players on their HS team as seniors...which either means that no top HS players are ever seniors, or that the top HS players as seniors were never freshmen in HS.

What you meant to say is an actual valid opinion, even if I disagree to some degree. Obviously players develop, so you have to be careful, but baseball players are being recruited pretty heavily by the time they are freshmen-sophomores. You have to be in it at that point if you want to end up recruiting well.

There you go again always nitpicking my vernacular when you know good and damn well what I mean in the first place.

Look up the word "rarely"

I genuinely did not know what you were trying to say. I assumed you probably left something out, but I was just confused as to what you meant.

And I would strongly disagree with the sentiment.

Did they commit to us today cause 5 months ago they were still freshman. Almost no freshman in the country end up being the best players on their own high school team by the time they are seniors. It's just retuhrded recruiting strategy in any sport save women's gymnastics to recruit freshman in high school.

MLB signs Latin players when they are 16- the same age as our sophomore recruits. And I guarantee you that those players are evaluated by MLB scouts when they are 13-15 which is the same age as our 8th grade and freshman recruits.

But you can tell them that it's a "retuhrded" strategy even though they have successfully doing it since the 1960's.

The kids that are identified as sec/mlb type players when they are 15 or 16, I’d wager are still sec/mlb type players by their senior years more than 90% of the time. There are always kids that break out during their senior years, but those are far and few between compared to those identified when they are 15 or 16.

Your vernacular is always gonna be 100% cock suck.

[ZedFedder]

If you don’t recruit 13-15 year olds, you won’t have anyone to recruit when they are older.

Little midget Trumpster douchebag feeling brave today. Go buy a Kanye album loser.

Well apparently all of you guys and all of our sophomore baseball recruits were a lot older than I was when I just started my sophomore year of high school. I was seventeen the first month at State. I am under the impression these players are not 16 years old in October of their sophomore years but I could be wrong and MLB teams can take risks on signing 16 year olds cause it's very low risk with potential for a very high reward and young latino baseball players rarely go the college route anyways.

You can tell in the 9th grade who will be a college player. Some develop faster than others.

And you'd be wrong. Because it's not rare. Not rare at all. Just admit it, please. You are wrong.

Except I'm not wrong sorry and baseball isn't the only sport either. Renardo Sidney was once the #1 basketball recruit in the country. Where was Malik Newman and Devonta Pollard ranked as SENIORS? How many 1st round MLB draft picks have significant MLB careers? Less than 10%? That's actual drafted players. Development or non-development doesn't just occur for them yet somehow doesn't happen between the ages 14-18.

Just keep an eye on em but don't tell a soul.

Totally agree.

Well since you brought up those names- in wah instance that YoU named, those guys were the best on their teams at 14 and 18. So try again. Just dig in and never admit you it. Are you a woman??

I'm the one that's digging in? Lol

[Homedawg]

I just used the names you gave me and in every instance you were wrong. I don't have to dig in. I'm right. It's obvious

T There are always kids that break out during their senior years

That's who we go after. The kids who will break out during their college senior years.
