#Road2Idaho
Hope to see you at a game this season.
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?
I GUARANTEE I CAN FIND YOU A COLLEGE BASEBALL HOME. STOP TELLING FOLKS I DONT HAVE EXPOSURE. PROBLEM IS THAT YOU ONLY WANT TO PLAY NCAA D1 BASEBALL AND THEN YOU BLAME "COLLEGE BASEBALL" FOR LIMITING YOURSELF.
ADMIT IT...YOU WERE D1 OR BUST. I RESPECT THAT MORE.
GM TWITTER
RECRUITS---
If you COMMIT to my program, do me a favor and call ALL other coaches that have recruited you before you call me. Please thank them or even hear them out in case they can add extra ice cream.
Trust me....It goes a LONGGGGG way...
TO ALL MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCIPALS---
We would have more baseball players if you would offer baseball as a sport like you offer Football, Basketball, and Track.
Would be nice to keep skills fresh for kids who don't play with Non School Teams.
All it takes is to Hire a coach. EASY
I played in an NCAA D1 Regional against the defending National Champs and overall
#1
seed.
I also played NCAA D3 Baseball against top 10 teams.
Yall say it's a difference. I'm still trying to understand what that difference was.
My d3 had own field
My d1 played at public park
Can you imagine how bad kids feel after they turned down Oral Robert's Baseball team b/c they weren't a Power 5 NCAA D1 Baseball Team.
You didn't trust the coach when he said they were building a College World Series Baseball team.
Transfer portal players..
Do you want to WIN?
ATTN RECRUITS
A 50% Scholarship at a school that cost 60k means you still pay 30k.
A Walk On spot at a school that cost 20k means you ONLY PAY 20K.
IF YOUR DECISION IS BASED ON AFFORDABILITY THEN STOP BELIEVING PERCENTAGE OF SCHOLARSHIP MATTERS. IT DOESNT.
FINAL BILL MATTERS
Recruits......
Your 7.1 60 time may not be good enuff for Coach x but good enuff for Coach Y.
Your talents are wanted SOMEWHERE.
Now.....It's up to you to choose that place.
Stop letting people tell you that YOURE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Find a coach who wants to work with you.
Let’s give it up to
@PerfectGameUSA
for hosting a Showcase in late December in awful conditions for roughly $900 per player but you must stay at the hotel they require you stay at. Apparently you can get a video for an extra $850. Good stuff! You guys are killing it!
#shegone
As a HS Coach, my team was losing 23-4 in the 4th Inning.
Umpire asked if I wanted to stop Game twice.
I said NO.
We came back and won 25-24.
No lead is ever safe.
Don't wanna hear about running up the score. You're never out the game.
Congrats to all 16 College Baseball National Champions.
I support all college baseball.
Just want kids to choose for the right reasons.
If i missed anyone, please speak up.
Good Luck and Congrats.
Going to a 4 YEAR PROGRAM AS A FRESHMAN WITH THE INTENT ON TRANSFERRING TO ANOTHER 4 YEAR PROGRAM IS VERY DISRESPECTFUL TO THAT PROGRAM & COACH. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DONT LET THE COACH KNOW UP FRONT.
JUST GO TO A 2 YEAR PROGRAM B/C THATS WHAT IT IS DESIGNED FOR.
TRUE OR FALSE
PITCHERS
Don't let anyone tell you different.
82 - 86 is effective in any college division. It is also the coaches decision to choose you or not.
Respect their decision if they say NO to bringing you into their program.
Stop listening to coaches who don't coach college ball
Scouts Miss
Coaches Miss
Parents Miss
Athletes....Continue to work to the best of your ability and put yourself in the best situation for you.
I wish all of you well.....
ATTN RECRUITS---
You're looking for FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP?
With a 2.3 GPA & 880 SAT and the ONLY VIDEO you posted was you hitting a NUKE. But you're batting average is under .200.
If you could explain the logic in that, it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED....
I get tired of parents spending 1000s of dollars on Summer Ball only for the kid to quit baseball in college b/c he didn't get recruited.
Most Large enrollment institutions have 2 or 3 baseball teams.
LSU has 2 teams
Vanderbilt has 2 teams
Miami has 2 teams
Texas has 2 also
College Athletes----There is a Pro Scout assigned to your school. NCAA NAIA NCCAA USCAA NJCAA CCCAA NWAC NCBA.
It's your job to impress that scout and get him out to your games. Find out who those scouts are today.
So Yes
They will find you no matter the school you choose.
44 JUCO Draft Picks
But no one wants to break down by divisions and organizations
How many were from

We can lump JUCO...but not lump NCAA D1/D2/D3.
ANYTHING to keep the D1 or BUST MINDSET ALIVE.
Fall Baseball is right around the corner. Can't wait for Team Meetings, Individual Position Workouts, Cage Work, Pitching Workouts, and most of all---------->>> Scrimmages
6 Weeks Fall Baseball coming soon!
HS Kids who look down on JUCO Athletes choose 4 year schools and sit the bench behind JUCO Transfers.
That right there will make you QUIT COLLEGE SPORTS!
HS Recruits
What do you do 1st when reaching out to coaches?
A. Contact the coach and let him know you're a good fit?
B. Check the school website to see if they have your major then contact the coach?
C. Let a HS/Select coach contact the coach on your behalf?
D. Other?
Why
Them ---- Why do you always ask kids for their major? Does it matter?
Me ---- Yes. We don't have engineering. I'm not trying to change a kid's mind on his 30-year career for 2 to 4 years of baseball.
So excuse me if I'm vetting a kid to see if we are a good academic fit 1st.
If NCAA D1 Programs recruit JUCO guys, and NCAA D2 recruit JUCO guys, and NCAA D3 recruit JUCO guys, then at some point in time, ALL OF NCAA becomes filled with JUCO guys.
How is each division better than the other if they all have the same type of players.
JUCO IS LEGIT RIGHT?
Top 5 Myths About NAIA Sports
1. NAIA athletes don't go pro
2. NAIA teams cannot beat NCCAA/USCAA/NCBA/NCAA D1/D2/D3 teams
3. NCAA walk-ons > NAIA student-athletes
4. NAIA student-athletes are not athletic
5. NAIA schools can't give Full Rides
RT to change the narrative
Give this kid advice
Coach
My SUMMER Coach said since my FB Velo is 87-90, I should ONLY be looking at NCAA D1 Programs. I only have 1 D1 walk on offer, but the program only won 5 games last year. The D2 school won its conference. My goal is to play for a winning program.
Coach
I went to a showcase camp but no coach contacted me after. Are Showcases legit or just a way to make money?
I ran a 7.1 and I play CF. My exit velo was 77 and my arm velo was 83. I'm a Senior and I wanna play baseball. My GPA is 3.7 SAT 1200.
Respond with advice....
Good Morning Recruits ---
Please don't be shocked that the scholarship offer you receive from me will be one of the best financial offers.
I have had multiple recruits tell me they didn't believe the offer.
One asked me How can you afford to offer this? SMH
I support any college baseball opportunity that gives athletes a chance to compete while being a college student.
NCBA
NCCAA
USCAA
NAIA
NCAA

NWAC
POST GRAD
INDEPENDENT TEAMS
Look at the bigger picture. Not the acronyms.
Get the Student-Athlete a DEGREE.
OMG.
@CoachBenge
YOURE WRONG
I guess
@IvyLeague
NCAA D1 schools don't receive offers either.
A OFFER is whatever the school gives you.
A OFFER DOESNT HAVE TO BE A SCHOLARSHIP. IF SO...POST THE RULEBOOK THAT STATES THAT.
Athletics
Grant
Academic
Etc
All Countable Aid my friend.
Every Baseball Coach and Athlete doesn't aspire to play NCAA D1 sports.
There is a population of kids who feel the best fit is a school that happens to play in NAIA. OR whatever else Association.
I SAID WHAT I SAID
#LetsTalkBaseball
Seeing alot of kids wanting to transfer after being released this fall.
FYI------
NAIA BASEBALL IS NOT A STEPPING STONE TO GET BACK TO NCAA SPORTS.
I REPEAT.
NAIA BASEBALL IS NOT A STEPPING STONE TO GET BACK TO NCAA BASEBALL.
WE GIVE DEGREES ALSO.
#MoreThanBaseball
SAD but..Most Head Coaches don't like to be outshined by their Asst. Coaches.
I'm bred different. They can know 1000x more than me. And guess what, if we winning b/c of what they know, the Win Column says I.
Thanks for support staff.
Franklyn, Stephen, Castillo, Evan, and Jose
Pitching Gurus.....
Can you start teaching Strikes as well as velo? Our young Pitchers are giving up too many walks.
I love velocity. I think it's very effective, and I believe there is a need for velo in the last 3 to 4 Innings of every game. Gimme 94 98 105..
This man is only 5 foot 10 and weighs 177 pounds and just signed a 12 year 325 million dollar contract.
I don't wanna hear no more pitchers talking about, I want to go and add weight to develop.
You are 🧢🧢 all the way, and you know it.
Use what you have and be successful.
ATTN COACHES OF TURNAROUND PROGRAMS-----
I STAND WITH YOU.
SOME KIDS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT PROGRAMS TURN AROUND.
COACH K WAS 37 - 48 IN HIS 1ST 3 YEARS AT DUKE. SOME KIDS TODAY WOULDNT HAVE GAVE HIM A CHANCE.
GOOD LUCK AND GO BE GREAT.
Coaches
I don't need to see a video on HS Seniors. I need to see:
If he can afford Miami rent
Intended Major & GPA
Financial Aid Breakdown
ECID Number from NAIA Clearinghouse
3 reasons why you want a Florida National University degree
I will take it from there.
Thanks

Thank You to all who believed this could be done.
The next baseball recruit to post a video of him laying down a bunt, or even a SAC Bunt, will get a Re-Tweet from me.....
Where did the SMALL BALL game go?
1st Semester Freshman in the Transfer Portal.
These kids chose that school BETTING on themselves, thinking they would get VARSITY PLAYING TIME over upper classmen.
All for social media fame.
Why not stay and develop with those FACILITIES you chose?
#LetsTalkBaseball
As Recruiters, we hear the term NO alot. You have to have tough skin.
I can't control these previous records at FNU. I can't control that athletes believe this will continue to happen.
18 13-31
19 13-36
20 10-13
21 11-27

2 things I don't wanna hear in 2023!
⚾️ "They only won 5 games last year. How did they get that good that quick?"
⚾️ "Why did I listen to my friends or my summer coach? The schools they told me not to go to went to the playoffs and we didnt"
Turnaround Programs-->>>
GOOD LUCK.
Wanna make a HATER mad today.
Tell them a HBCU Grad is the head coach of a Power 5 football team, and he upset a Top 25 Program in his first game.
And he's about to get comfortable...
Could you imagine a HBCU Grad coaching in a NCAA D1 College World Series.
SUPER MAD
11am Practice at our field
3pm HS Game at our field
530pm Walked over & Played Basketball
600pm Saw my players in Cage
630pm Played 2V2 with my players
700pm Finally Headed Home
Recruits--We will have fun in Miami weather.
#MoreThanBaseball
BTW-I still got it on court
HS RECRUITS----
Take that Walk On NCAA D1 offer
Go away to that NCAA D2 program
Believe you can start at NAIA program
Go get BIGGER FASTER STRONGER at JUCO
Only thing I ask is that you ACCEPT WHATEVER OUTCOME HAPPENS. DO NOT COMPLAIN.
This is YOUR PROCESS. TRUST IT.
Want NCAA D1? Then go for it!!!!
All I'm asking is that you don't QUIT if it doesn't work out for you.
You've put too much work into playing this game. Parents have spent MANY DOLLARS for you.
No one should encourage you not to pursue your goals...
California Junior College Baseball is really good, and they dont give out Athletic Scholarships. The kids also move on to 4 year programs there
Can anyone confirm this?
Students have stated they aren't going to college without a scholarship. How can Cali JC guys do it then?
It takes 1 DM to get my Direct Phone number. I will send you information about our school to find out if you're really interested.
Not hard to get recruited by a coach who is interested.
College coaches don't want a 47th email from you. And they definitely don't want a 98th email from your parents or a recruiting service. Most coaches get HUNDREDS of emails daily. Don't just add to their problems; demonstrate that you're a solution. Be succinct and professional.
I saw all the news today about these D1 Commits showing up to campus and being sent home.
Post Grad will become the attraction IMO.
WHY??
Us NON D1s Tried to recruit the same kid. It's hard for them to admit they had D1 or BUST mindset.
Give them a year to get thru this.
Signing Day is coming up.
GUESS WHAT.
It's not mandatory that you SIGN with a program on that day.
DO NOT RUSH THIS DECISION. FIND THE RIGHT FIT.
Major First
Sports Second
Baseball players...
Yall can't match the energy of softball players in the dugout..
These girls go the whole game nonstop. Dugout cheers, handshakes, whatever it takes.

Morning OPINION
Some freshman athletes need to attend JUCO.
If they want to play at a 4 year program, like NCAA D1, d2 d3, USCAA NAIA NCCAA NCBA, it should be one with a development program.
Freshmen are being misguided about college sports.
Why rush to play?
Redshirt?
Conversation
Me: I have some NCAA D1 players I turned down that need a home
Them: Why did you turn down D1 ball players?
Me: B/C GPA was too low and Team culture means alot more to our program.
We will not act as if b/c a kid plays D1, he would be a savior to NAIA Baseball.
Attention Pitchers-----
If you're the Walk the Bases Loaded then strike out the side guy, you will be consistently a 1 Inning guy for me.
I'm taking the 0 Runs proudly and you are the best GAMER on the team.
TBH.....I love it.
This is Pitching in 2023.
Adjust to it PEASE.
Student Athletes-
When you aren't interested in a school, do you:
A. Call the coach and give the Honest reason why
B. Text the coach and not say why
C. Ignore the coach b/c you're scared of what he will say
D. Other (How do you turn down a coach and why)
No wrong answers
Another example of what’s wrong with youth baseball by
@prospectdugout
and
@PGYouthBB
Notice the sound of the bat, the elbow guard and the oven mitt to go along with the bat flip and Randy Arozarena style pause before home plate. Thanks
@MLB

@twuench
Had Jose Altuve not signed w/Astros, some of you would have Stereotyped him as a "NAIA Type Player" b/c of his size.
Read that 1 more time.....
Am I wrong?
ATTN 2023 HS RECRUITS
If you want a QUICKER FINANCIAL offer for next year, HAVE YOUR FAFSA done on October 1st 2022 which is the day it opens.
GOVERNMENT gives out sooooo much more money than Baseball Scholarships.
As recruiting season winds down I need to ask this.
Are there any unsigned 2022 grad pitchers who are looking for a FULL RIDE...Must Have the Following:
⚾️ 3.8 GPA
⚾️ 23 ACT
⚾️ 1080 SAT
⚾️ Good Attitude/Work Ethic..
DM Me for details......
Just told a "Scout/Recruiter" not to send me the bottom of the barrel recruits.
I looked up another college program that had Top kids from the same program. We weren't asked to look at those same kids.
#TurnAroundPrograms
will not stand for that anymore.
I said what I said...
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.
🚨🚨
2024 JUCO TRANSFER PITCHERS 🚨🚨
IF YOUR FASTBALL VELO IS 82MPH AND BELOW, PLEASE HIT MY INBOX ASAP. YES. 82 AND BELOW.
LET'S TALK ABOUT PLAYING COLLEGE BASEBALL IN MIAMI, FLORIDA NEXT SEASON.
ALL PITCHERS RECEIVE SCHOLARSHIPS.
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.
If you saw what comes thru my DM because of How I'm trying to TURNAROUND a program?
HOW DARE THIS MAN RAISE HIS STANDARDS AND TRY TO WIN A GAME AND NOT RECRUIT PLAYERS THAT WOULDNT BE RECRUITED BY TOP PROGRAMS?
ATTN TURNAROUND PROGRAMS--
This is your year to turn things around!
Look what a whole year can do.
Good recruits, good culture, good support, good parents, and just good all around.
Will
@FNUBaseball
make the CAC playoffs for the first time in history after finishing the previous year 7-40?
Follow along and find out. Thanks for your support!!!
