    Dead period extended again 8/31/20

    I highly recommend the HC at MIT. She recruited my daughter when she was at Ripon College. If you could land on her radar that would be a good option for a great education and a competitive softball environment

    How do you interpret this note from a coach?

    Generally you will meet with the coach that you DD is communicating with and maybe the head coach depending on the level of interest or their availability. You should get a tour of the athletic/softball facilities. You'll get a tour of the campus and/or dorms. You will also probably meet with...

    How do you interpret this note from a coach?

    Sounds pretty straight forward. It sounds like they are interested and believe she can step in right away and play. It's up to your DD to take it from here if she is interested. Also don't expect official visits at every school that is interested. DD and I visited 4 schools, combination of...

    Are you really prepared to play college softball?

    $0. DD transferred from a junior college and chose a D3 school. All her scholarship was academic. She chose the D3 over other D3 and D2 schools because this particular school allowed to her to have her ideal college experience and play ball. The coach that recruited her was a huge part of...

    Are you really prepared to play college softball?

    My DD played 3 years of college ball. She ended up not playing her senior year mainly due to her not clicking with how a new coach ran the team during her junior year. She was also a lot more interested in the social aspects of her senior year as well as concentrating on her academics. In the...

    School me on D3 softball

    I really think this depends on the school. DD transferred from a JUCO to a D3. She had a 3.94 after 2 years in JUCO. Between the wife and I we make a pretty good living. DD received a $32,000 a year academic scholarship from the school she ended up going to. In all she had around 15...

    Question on D2 recruiting etiquette

    Definitely this. My DD was a 3rd baseman entering college. Never played an inning there. She was moved and played both middle infield positions.

    MacGrandle leaves Oregon

    No, Florida hired him because he's a good coach. He led a Wichita State team to a 3 year record of 123-64 and an NCAA regional appearance. Also his college softball coaching career started at Oklahoma, his alma mater.

    MacGrandle leaves Oregon

    Hey man, I get you So Cal is great. I grew up in Chula Vista. Other than the weather my home state is not a great place. Over populated, high taxes, horrible politics, etc. I get that 20 years ago California was a hotbed for softball. The great year round weather kind of helped that out...
