If you are a student-athlete and you earn an opportunity to play your sport in college and receive financial help.....it is an HONOR! At any level D1, D2, D3, NAIA. College allows student athletes to get a jumpstart on being a CEO #College

Crazy to see kids miss workouts consistently yet they talk about playing college ball. If you are truly serious about being great and about playing college ball, missing a workout should be a rarity #RealTalk

Scott Boras on MLB's proposals today, which include the elimination of high-school draft picks :

“The commissioner’s office has issued an edict to all major-league franchises, development staff, coaching and scouting staff, that you’re frankly not worthy of choosing and developing talent. It’s bad business.”

Kids with no offers running from D2 & NAIA opportunities is diabolical 🤯

People around the league are reportedly raising concerns about Darius Acuff Jr.’s work ethic, the people he surrounds himself with, and his relationships with teammates at IMG, per @Teague0

Here's the part nobody tells your son about Ivy recruiting:
Once he clears the academic index, the advantage is enormous. Testimony from the Harvard admissions case showed recruited athletes were admitted at roughly 86%, against about 6% for everyone else.
The grades get you through the door. The sport swings it wide open. You need both.

NEW: Former BYU WR Parker Kingston’s rape charge has been DISMISSED in court.

Kingston is now ELIGIBLE to play this season, just not for BYU 😳

MLB owners want less risk to their investment. Go prove it in college. If you are a GUY..you will be after two years in college and can go to the draft.

Less risk in players.

Go play college ball.

HS athletes:

Summer workouts are less than 10% of your time. If you cannot carve out 4-7% of your week to train with your teammates & coaches then you are not a serious athlete. There is plenty of time left to work, swim, fish, sleep, etc. Get to workouts & get better!!

[Coach Beede @CoachBeede]

A Division III "commitment" is not a scholarship.
At the NESCAC schools , Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, Tufts , there are zero athletic scholarships. None. A coach can't promise your son a roster spot or a dollar of aid. That's why those posts read "committed to the admissions process."
The coach supports the application. Admissions makes the call.

Breaking: The WNBA will expand its season to 50 games beginning in 2027, the league announced.

The cascading impact of the transfer portal is now affecting D1 Power 4 freshman recruits in baseball.

Power 4 recruits that have been committed, are now de-committing, due to the transfer portal or Spring performance.

The recruiting board changes at ANY time

The Utah Jazz were “blown away” by Darius Acuff Jr.’s individual workout, per @KendrickPerkins

[Nick Zona @nick_zona]

One thing scouting reinforced for me: hitters get paid to hit.

Defense can separate you. Speed can help you. But if you can consistently do damage against good pitching, you’ll always give yourself a chance to climb the ladder.
