@JoeyKnish22 One positive is the expected NCAA vote on 5 years to play period. From HS graduation or 19th birthday whichever comes first. I’m reading that it’s expected to pass.
Agree or Disagree?
The overwhelming majority of high school, junior college, college and minor league players don't need data and analytics overload, or require data and analytics to gauge progress.
The overwhelming majority need basic fundamentals, strength, conditioning, nutrition and competitive repetitions to improve playability, moxie, feel and gamesmanship.
I’m seeing 12-year-olds with UCL tears!
That’s not bad luck—that’s bad development.
We traded long-term growth for short-term exposure and radar gun numbers.

Very few, and I mean very few kids belong in D1 baseball as freshmen. Even less belong in P5 baseball.
With that being said. Every time I see a kid post a commitment to a junior college, D2, D3 or NAIA school, I think, that kid got good advice.
The kids that do belong in D1, and most especially P5 schools out of high school are the kids that are legitimately deciding between a pro contract and school.
The percentage of kids that get meaningful playing time as freshmen at D1, and most especially P5 schools advertises it's not a great decision for most.
@nextlevelbb It seems that with the reduced draft rounds and reduced minor leagues, that D1 is where these Juco, D2, D3, & NAIA players move to through the portal. And they end up getting drafted from there. I don’t have any data but that is my guess.
