⚾️ WHERE ARE WE IN THE 2027 CLASS?

Based on reported commitments and available data from @PerfectGameUSA and @PrepBaseballGA we are seeing pretty similar info:

Per PG data, we are at 283 reported commits statewide which is only 43% of the 4 year avg of 661, ~57% remain, As of 11/4

Per PBR data 40% of the PBR top 500 class is commited, ~60% of this group remain uncommitted as of 11/3

There are opportunities, but you are on the ⏰ 2027's.
Time to prioritize your top 3-4 most important "values" in a college program and focus in on a realistic target list.

Please reach out for help in a plan forward.

⚾ PATIENCE IS PART OF THE RECRUITING PROCESS.

For uncommitted players and families in the 2027 and 2028 classes, here's some perspective.

We took a look at publicly available Perfect Game commitment data and compared where the current classes stand against the final commitment totals from the previous four years (2023–2026).

📊 The results might surprise you.

Class of 2027
🇺🇸 Nationally: 48% of expected commitments still ahead.
📍 Georgia: 66% of expected commitments still ahead.
Class of 2028
🇺🇸 Nationally: 92% of expected commitments still ahead.
📍 Georgia: 95% of expected commitments still ahead.
Every player develops differently, and every college program recruits on its own timeline. Some programs make decisions early, while others continue evaluating and filling roster needs much later in the process.

Just because other players are committing doesn't mean you're running out of time.

It's easy to get caught up in commitment announcements on social media and feel like you're falling behind.

But the historical data tells us that a significant portion of the recruiting process is still ahead.

Be patient. Keep developing. Stay engaged with coaches. Make informed decisions.

The goal isn't to be the first player to commit. It's to find the right college fit.

⚾ PATIENCE IN RECRUITING DOESN'T MEAN SITTING STILL.

My recent post about college baseball commitment timelines has reached over 15,000 views, and it's clear this topic resonates with a lot of players and families.

The biggest takeaway from that data wasn't simply that there are still opportunities ahead.

It's that every player's recruiting timeline is different.

Some players commit early. Others don't find their opportunity until the spring of their senior year. Neither timeline automatically determines how successful they'll be in college.

But there's an important distinction between being patient and being passive.

If you're still uncommitted, here's where your focus should be:

⚾ Keep developing. The player you are today doesn't have to be the player a coach evaluates three months from now.

⚾ Understand your fit. Be realistic about the levels and programs where your abilities, academics, and priorities align.

⚾ Stay visible. Continue communicating with coaches, sharing meaningful updates, and putting yourself in situations to be evaluated.

⚾ Keep an open mind. There are great opportunities across ALL LEVELS of baseball. A division label alone doesn't determine the quality of a program or whether it's the right fit for a player. Evaluate each opportunity on its own merits, not simply the "level" at which it competes.

⚾ Don't compare timelines. Another player's commitment announcement doesn't change your development, your potential, or what the right opportunity looks like for you.

One thing I've learned through years of playing, coaching, and working in baseball is that getting recruited and being ready to succeed in college are two different things.

The goal isn't to win the race to announce a commitment.

The goal is to find a place where you can develop, contribute, and have a great college experience.

Be patient with the process. Be intentional with your actions.

There's a difference between waiting for an opportunity and preparing for one.
