I was committed to the top 5 teams in the country when I was in high school but none of them ever offered me a scholarship. ;)

Not knocking the kid.  He sounds very talented and will prob do great wherever he lands.  I just find the recruiting world a little comical these days.  For example, I went to the link that you provided and then took a look at the commits for Arkansas for 2013.  They have 17 committed.  Which is fine, unless all of those kids are expecting a scholarship.  And baseball is different because I don't believe there is a 'full ride' like you have in basketball and football.  It's just interesting and sort of amusing, especially when kids are 'committing' to schools and getting 'offers' before they even get into high school.  I believe the only offers that really matter are the ones you get during your senior season after you've taken some 'official' visits.  But that's just me.  Good luck to the Proctor kid.

I hate to be a participant in the hi-jacking of a thread, but I have some questions. What is it that kids and parents could be missing that leads them to term a scholarship as a "Full Ride"? Baseball scholarships are year to year, and the fees that may be covered in part or whole would be: Tuition, books, all misc fees, meals, & housing. Did I miss something? Is there something else that would need to be covered. I know that if a kid is close to home, he may choose to not live on campus, therefore there would be no housing allowance, but, possibly a stipend to equate to that amount. An expert I am NOT, somebody please clarify.

I'm sure you were told by someone that it was a full ride but schools hardly ever give full athletic scholarships for baseball

Well mister know it all, I guess he was told by the coach since he is my dad.

According to ole Gilligan at Lamar...who ever said it was right...He re-ups his scholarships each year so if your work habit or grades is less than desirable, you might go from 50% to 25%. I have been told if you want it all covered you better be an academian as well as an exceptional player...or pitch around the century mark if your a right hander or 93-95 as a lefty. Told my kid he better work on the grades because pushing it up to mid 90's is probably harder to achieve. I understood your point Franchise...true full ride scholarships are a very very very rare thing. Not doubting anyone's college achievements. just saying...

No need to try to impress me you already have cause your the only person I have ever heard of getting a full baseball scholarship and then you didn't it take it crazy. I know this my roommate in college was a freshmen All-American and he wasn't on a full ride.

Good for him. I know a guy that got drafted in the 39th round, and signed for a million dollars. You never hear of that either, so what's your point?

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
