    How exactly does committing/signing work

    Also, I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but scholarships can be handed out as a 4 year deal, or renewable year by year. Obviously you want the 4 year deal, so make sure you are understanding the offer when you get it. The coach will give you a piece of paper that lays it out when...

    How exactly does committing/signing work

    Nobody has mentioned the COA (Cost of Attendance) or the fact that the NCAA allows 110% of cost as maximum. 10% can be hit or miss at different programs. If this is in play, 10% of the total cost goes back to the student (per quarter/semester) for things such as toothpaste, etc. The students...

    How exactly does committing/signing work

    The part about the required SAT score was not true in my DDs case. She never submitted them to the school. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How exactly does committing/signing work

    FWIW, I don’t know what a 104 weighted GPA is, but my DD graduated 4th in her class with a 4.5 cumulative. I think she scored an 1160 on her SATs which was not considered a great score. So there was no need to send in the SAT, but she did still get academic money. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Pitcher without lessons

    If I were a coach I would only care about results in the circle, not who your pitching coach is, or if you even have one. I would be trying to win games. This seems very odd to me. I know one self/dad taught pitcher that got a scholarship. She had an odd motion but apparently she got it done...

    Pitching Volume in College?

    My DD (D1) does not pitch everyday, but will do a bullpen every other day. Weekends have been 5 games, but now they are 3, so amount of pitches will vary based on several factors. I think the bullpens are about 45 minutes. In season that’s probably only 2 per week, since Monday is an off day...

    DP/Flex rule

    If I understand correctly, since the Pitcher is not part of the DP/Flex, then it’s just a substitution when the pitcher comes out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Saga of Rebuilding a School Program: A parent-coach's journal

    At least the kids are moving around, and they have a heater in the dugout. Next time I’ll take a lap between innings like the players. My DD is a pitcher, I normally will be somewhere down the line Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Saga of Rebuilding a School Program: A parent-coach's journal

    Was at DDs games yesterday, 38 degrees, “feels like” 30. Yikes. I tried. Watched from the car and on the conference stream. At least Friday and Saturday were ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Helping a quiet kid

    This ^ My DD was like that when she was younger. Staying on the same team where she can get comfortable should help. Hopefully you are in a good situation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First NCAA D1 Win

    Congrats, my DD recently picked up her 1st as well. She has dropped a few lately going through a gauntlet of Louisiana, Florida, and UCF. They keep throwing her out there and she’s doing her best. 60IP/2.0ERA. I’m sure there will be many more wins to come, hopefully you get to watch a lot of...

    Just asking because I’m confused…

    I don’t think there is much you can do there, that’s a lot of strikes. Sounds like the coach just needing something to say. When my DD joined a new team, they told her the same, they were like instead of throwing 18 pitches per inning, let’s throw 15, attack the zone more. I was very skeptical...

    Twitter blowing up about 7th grade rankings

    Go Magic!!! My DD was on the 18s team that placed 3rd and Ernie also coached the 12s that won it all. I believe the coaching staffs were the same. Pretty good couple of weeks! Great example of a small org that can compete with the big dogs. Who knows how good this kid is, good players on good...

    Yes, I’m a bragger

    Ok one more shameless brag, happy for the kid. I don’t have a whole lot of people to share this with that really understands, so I’ll put this here. DD is killing it so far this season, D1 true freshman. 30+IP, era around 0.50, less than 5BB and close to 30Ks. Batters are hitting about .170...

    pro-nun-ci-a-tion

    My DD was pitching on espn+ and the announcer just called her some other name during the middle innings. The flo game I watched this past weekend wasn’t that bad. Maybe because DD threw a 2 hit shutout. At least they got her name right the entire game. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Saga of Rebuilding a School Program: A parent-coach's journal

    There actually aren’t that many kids that throw a true rise. The high fastball can be very effective but I’m with you, don’t call it a rise. My DD practiced rise spin for over a year before throwing it in games. So it’s a pet peeve of mine too. Enjoying this thread, one thing I can comment on...

    THE Spring Games

    I’m about to subscribe, only game for DD that’s streamed this weekend is on Flo. The past 2 weeks my DD pitched in the espn+ streamed games, so I’ll compare. Just need to see the game and hopefully my kid pitches. The live stats just don’t do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1st Collegiate win!

    My freshman DD pitcher picked up her first college win today! I was there and asked for a game ball. I wonder who was more nervous, me or her. Probably me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Travel vs. School vs. Private Coaching Conflicts

    Agree 100% on this for pitchers, my DD split time last year in HS and still had about 100 innings. Bullpens in between and come travel season, ready to go. What’s weird is that recruiting has zero to do with HS, but in your college bio there are your HS stats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
