Every HS Coach should make seniors do these 3 things before they are cleared to play the season. 1. FAFSA 2. All Clearinghouses 3. Email 30 Coaches that have the major their interested in I can't believe you're a Senior trying to complete these steps in May.

Met a kid. He said he wanted JC over 4 year. I asked why. He said.. Possibility of getting drafted while getting better...and if I don't get drafted in 2 years then I would go 4 year. That was enough for me...This kid has my vote. He definitely understands the benefits of JUCO.

Question for D1 or Bust Crowd If an NCAA D2 Conference said they were switching to NCAA D1, what would be the difference about the EXPERIENCE. Same D2 Fields, Same D2 Competition, Same D2 Coaching, etc. So. Again... What is really the difference between NCAA D1/D2? D3?

ATTN RECRUITS-‐-------->>> Before you email those 10 coaches today, do me a BIG FAVOR... Do some research on the school website, not just the baseball page. Does the school have: ⚾️ Your Major ⚾️ Housing ⚾️ Special Education Support And any other special needs you may have.

Recruits-------You don't have to tag me in videos. I respond to DMs. If you have sent me a DM and I didn't respond, please send me another one. Our recruiting process is different as the first thing I will ask you is...DO WE HAVE YOUR MAJOR? Check the FNU Website for details.

I appreciate all Recruits who have been transparent and have said they're NOT INTERESTED in NAIA Sports. They didn't lead me on, or kept in contact b/c they felt they didn't want to burn a bridge. I find it even more interesting that these students did research on NAIA as well.

Recruits...... You better answer that phone number that you don't recognize. It might be a Full Ride Scholarship on the other line. Out of state numbers aren't always SPAM CALLS....IJS

Our Pitcher had a No Hitter in the 4th or 5th. The other team tried to break it up with a Drag Bunt. My team didn't see it as disrespect as the other team was still trying to stay in the game. It's Part of the game.

4 baseball players stopped playing for FNU and wanted to finish their degree. Added them as student managers, and they help me in the office. We did a JUCO Recruiting Push this week. DONT EVER TELL ME ABOUT OVER RECRUITING. THERE IS ROOM TO WORK IN BASEBALL AFTER GRADUATION

RECRUITS--‐-- "IM KEEPING MY OPTIONS OPEN" IS NOT A GOOD REPLY WHEN SOMEONE ASK YOU....WOULD YOU HAVE INTEREST IN A SCHOOL? THE QUESTION ISNT...."DO YOU WANT TO CHOOSE OUR SCHOOL?" BE HONEST ABOUT YOUR GOALS AND IF YOU WANT D1 B/C YOUR FB IS 78MPH THEN LET THEM KNOW THAT.

2022 It took @FNUBaseball 47 games to win 7. (7-40) 2023 We have notched our 7th victory in just 13 games. (7-6) Best start in History for this program. How does this program get over the hump? Still looking for PITCHERS in the 23 HS & JUCO class. SCHOLARSHIP MONEY AVAILABLE.

Wait....I'm Lost So b/c 1 NCAA D1 team OFFERED you a baseball scholarship, that makes you the best NAIA or NCAA D2/D3 recruit? Hmmmmmmmmm. There are plenty NCAA D1 players who won't make other rosters in certain Organizations. This thinking needs to stop ASAP.
