Sam &amp; Trevor hop back on the podcast to discuss what July should look like for Juniors in terms of communication and setting up visits. It is not a time to rest, but we have to be realistic about where prospects stand in the recruiting process. They also then discuss a hypothetical scenario regarding a perspective student athlete and their decision to commit to a school with no roster guarantee. Then they finish up the conversation with massive changes coming to the college baseball landscape, and ultimately how that impacts high school recruiting.
