Looking for better guidance through the recruiting process? Here is how I can help: The Premier Athletes Recruiting Program: Work with Alex directly and have a better, more reliable path to play college baseball. With the transfer portal, NIL deals, and fifth-year seniors still on rosters, the college baseball landscape has changed—especially at the Division 1 level. In this episode, I dive into: ✅ Whether D1 baseball is still a real option for high school players ✅ How the recruiting process has shifted in today's environment ✅ Why “hope” is not a strategy—and what to do instead ✅ How we've helped players (even fringe D2/D3 guys) land D1 offers in 2025 It's not impossible—but it is harder. Coaches are leaning on the portal more than ever, and without a plan, it's easy to get lost in the noise. The good news? There are still D1 schools recruiting high school players right now. The ones getting those opportunities have a plan, know where they fit, and target the right schools. Are you chasing the logo—or finding the right fit? Let's talk about what it really takes. #CollegeBaseball #D1Baseball #RecruitingTips #TransferPortal #PlayCollegeBaseball #NIL #BaseballParents #PremierAthletes
