@TheShawnHendrix Facts. I live on a road in Edneyville that DOT and other workers are using to access 64 and 74 that run down to Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure. All day, every day it's a constant line of dump trucks, back and forth, hauling in gravel, dirt, and building materials to.

In the current recruiting scene, there are prospects w/ D1 ability who won't receive D1 offers. Feel this? Then send your films & get to JUCO camps. Find the coach who believes in your ability. Bet on yourself, go the @jucoroute; it could be a blessing. It could be the path to D1.

Talked to JUCO HC today; 4-year schools are reaching out to him more than ever before; Coaches at many of their games, even D3 & NAIA. 4-years want JUCO guys bc their proven both academically & through performance. Less risk, more reward than HS recruits. 2023s, look @jucoroute.

Couldn't have said it better. All types of prospects have reasons to explore the @jucoroute, the most unique experience in college baseball in opinion. I encourage #jucobandits to share their experiences with recruits so they don't bypass the opportunity.
Why Juco? 100% scholarship(most cases) vs 25-35% scholarship. 2 seasons(fall and spring), immediate playing time(most cases), smaller classes, less restrictions on coaches time spent with players, draft options open, learn to grind.

"D1 or bust?". Ask yourself, what is the real intention behind your statement? More than 80% of baseball is played below the D1 level. In a typical draft, about 100 D2 players are drafted, a dozen D3, 100+ JUCO, 30+ NAIA. Tell those professionals they are lousy players.
🗣”It’s running out there rampant right now that if you’re not a D1 player you’re a lousy player. and that’s the furthest thing from the truth. I’m a big supporter of ALL sports & ALL levels. and there’s good coaches at all levels. - Ed Servais HC @CU_Baseball- Take a listen!👇

Speaking of the @jucoroute being the best route to D1 for our top WNC players, the @NHHS_Baseball_ Alumni is one to watch. Been all in on @Braydencorn21 for awhile; D1's I highly recommend checking in on him. One of the most competitive & complete HS baseball players I've seen.
Freshman Brayden Corn - @Braydencorn21 - has been a spark plug all spring. This weekend he was 7-15 with a bomb. For the season he’s hitting .362 with 7 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs, 20 runs scored and 5 stolen bases!
