Just added this to our Dugout Diamond Club group on the Skool app. Thanks!
Love these videos keep em coming. My son is "27 grad
More to come!
What is the best way to get looks at a small private school as a freshman
Send your recruiting video to schools
Any tips for catchers
Search what a d1 catcher looks like and I will pop up.
I have 145 avg where will i be if i 4/145?
Does not work
You should give examples of good prep schools
Thanks for the great information. My son is already in college but I still enjoy your videos. You're one of the few good guys in this business.
Thanks, David! Congratulations on your son’s success!
My son has severe dyslexia and an IEP, he loves technical type careers, ie. Welding technology, he is also a very good baseball player 2026, and has a few colleges looking but not seriously talking to yet. Will c9lleges accommodate his learning disability or his college baseball career over? He was talked to by southern Connecticut state univ. And bryant university. Not sure how to go about bringing this up to college coaches.
What is that website it looks very very useful
You can check our website here: premierathletes.app
Can you PLEASE make a video on how to decline/reject college coaches politely
If player personnel are inviting a player to games is that a good sign?
Thanks Coach. I really appreciate the info. My son fits a large majority of these traits but with the new way things are setup it seems as though we're getting passed over. We're gonna keep at it but this new setup is brutal.
Coach...if you narrow it down to your history, D1, the portal has DESTROYED high school baseball player recruiting. Bummer that it took you 2:40 to speak the truth. I also beg to differ on the 7-10. What coaches are doing is bringing players in "for look", only to tell them to leave after one semester.
You’re looking in the wrong places. If we are talking about Power 4 schools yeah it’s made a bigger impact but for the 230 other schools out there they are still recruiting high school players. Plenty of them. I see it daily with my guys. Best of luck.
Thank you! Very helpful information
No California juco😂
Hey i have some questions about these stuff do you have any playforms where i can message you on?
Hi Jasper! You can book a call with me on my website: www.premierathletes.co
Oak creek is not the best
What if a student athlete has a full academic scholarship or tuition waiver to support him, can he still join a team without an athletic scholarship? Thanks.
Yes he can.
@@RecruitingwithAlexwould this type of player be counted as an active roster and also consume a scholarship-player spot? Thx
How many players will teams be able to carry? Can a player be on the team just not on the roster?
Great question. Right now it’s 34 man roster but yet to be determined if redshirts will be allowed meaning they are on the team but not active.
I don't get the argument that it will be costing schools that much more money. If you have 34 scholarships, just admit 34 more students into gen pop than you normally would. Makes sense, right?
I wish it was that easy! Maybe it needs to be for these schools.
Don’t they have to add 1 for 1 with female athletes for title 9
@@charlesparrish2126everyone got a bump
Most programs won’t be able to afford it
Bingo
How many catchers do you think a school will carry with the roster reduction?
3
Do you think this will trickle down to d2, d3, naia?
Players will move down but not a lot of money will.
So just to clarify, D1 baseball went from an equivalency sport to a head-count sport?
Correct.
How long should a highlight video be? I’m not sure how to send a long video without compressing it, or using maildrop. Thanks for the help!
2-3 minutes. We help create video in our recruiting program.
What's your email brother ? Want to invite you to an exclusive group for baseball parents
Happy to help alex@howtoberecruited.com
Maine’s Falmouth team - great team, on your list but didn’t read it out loud. Sent multiple players to D1 schools in recent years with great underclassmen coming up.
Do Milwaukee Panthers (MKE)🐈⬛
In year's past, I might have agreed with this. But now with the transfer portal, schools at all levels are spending their summers trying to recruit guys out of the transfer portal and then turning their focus to the high school kids in the Fall. Kids now would actually be better off playing in some type of "free" baseball league like American Legion or Babe Ruth in the Summer and saving their money to play travel baseball in the Fall. I can say from my experience that Fall Travel baseball in 2023 and 2024 has been / will be 100% worth it.
Appreciate your perspective but the problem remains the same which is you only have a few weeks to get in front of coaches and even then you are just hoping someone sees you (bad strategy). You can’t predict who will be there. Certain camps and showcases are not good but if the school are in need of your position and the right coaches are at the showcases it’s way better getting exposure that way than maybe being seen at a tournament by some school you don’t know about.
@@RecruitingwithAlex Everything you mentioned could be the case in either the Summer or Fall. With everything else being equal, college coaches are going to be more focused on high school players in the Fall than the Summer. I know this beyond a shadow of a doubt. College coaches spent a lot of their resources this summer recruiting transfer portal players out of collegiate summer leagues. I witnessed this first hand.
@@ValleyBaseballScout Yeah exactly, summer and fall travel ball are overrated for that reason because again for a player you are just winging it you have no idea who is out there if anyone. I talk to coaches every week that can't be everywhere and see everyone that is why camps and showcases are important. To many players and parents are spending thousands and thousands of dollars just hoping to be seen when no one shows up. There is a better way to go about it than some travel team or summer team.
That definitely makes a lot of sense. I have found that most of these camps at colleges are just clinics, they list them as “prospect camps” but they are really only clinic type things. Do you have a video on how to find good quality showcases at colleges or third party ones? Thank you!
Do Jacksonville University - JU🐬
3rd party showcase is a scam.
Some of them are pretty bad. There are a few out there that are pretty good just have to know what to look for.
Outstanding content. Super helpful!
The content of your video is absolutely on point. It was extremely helpful for me to guide my son. As a symbol of my appreciation I’m going to give you a few communication tips to improve your channel: - Add a digital chart to reinforce key points - Drop that particular music…the piano was really distracting. - Speed up your intro, don’t need to credentialize as much. You are instantly credible.
Did you work with Joey Oakie?
I had a 30 point game this year in my 8th grade season but i play for a school with less than 100 students will they actually want to talk to me
Do any of these restrictions apply to D3?
I think they don’t apply to D3, Juco, or NAIA. Not sure for sure though. There is good info on the ncsa website for more.
No, not to D3
Great stuff as always
Great stuff anyone do such detailed videos for NCAA basketball recruiting?
Can you make a video regarding ncaa changing the scholarships allowed per roster from 11.7 to 34!
I’ll have a video out about the new changes very soon.
Blue valley west for 6a Kansas
What school year will this begin?
Fall of 2025
Thanks- Any changes in XC or track?
Hey Alex im going to my second year in high school and I wanted to know how I can get my velo up without just blowing my arm out I dont want to be reckless
3rd party showcase is a scam. Our invite from a college coach to attend a showcase came from the showcase and not the coach. Your reply gets forwarded to the coach and likely goes to his spam.
Some are bad out there for sure but there are also a few that are good
Relevant advice
It would help in dogenall but it won’t bc there is more then one person
This didn't 4x my reaction time...Tried in multiple sports.
i wouldn't say that . well, I tried it 3 years ago. i was just casually playing my game . it was valorant actually. i was too focused and i could literally feel each framer changing , my crosshair changing everything . even i was too shocked. and also i have never been able to match that focus level, not even close. i have adhd too. maybe it was just adhd hyperfocus. someone who has adhd, can be too focused on something sometimes. it's subconscious tho.
@@AkaRshit466 I think this helps if you easily lose focus, but I can't say it 4x my 200 ms reation time. Sounds like you were experiencing flow state. This trick will not get you into flow state
@@iShrix yeah! , i agree on that. but it does improve reaction time. not much but you'll definitely see a difference. and for flow state, meditation . i think meditation does help for it.
High school kids don't have a chance to compete against a 230pound 6.4 college players it's over for 180 pound 5.9 High School players
Look at D2, D3, and JUCO
When you mentioned sending colleges your highlights, are you referring to a recruiting video and/or in game clips?
Yes, your skills/game video.
