We would like to congratulate Brian King on his commitment to Brandeis University. Here are Brian’s recruiting story and interview after his commitment. Good luck as a Judge!
Share your recruiting story and status! I started the college recruiting process during the summer after the 8th grade. I was playing for my travel team when I met Coach Ryan Thompson who introduced me to SportsForce. I had played in front of college coaches at showcases and listened to D1 and D3 coaches as they explained their programs and what they expected from prospective players. Coach Thompson explained the realities of the different divisions and how my dream schools and safe schools needed to be balanced. I had to consider what I wanted to study, where in the country I wanted to live while attending school and how realistic my dreams and goals were with the different schools. I had to balance playing with my education. Coach Thompson helped me get in touch with schools I was interested in after sending them highlight videos we made demonstrating my ball skills. I heard from schools expressing interest in me, but no official commitment until late in my senior year. The head coach at Brandeis University told me that they had been following my videos that Coach Thompson helped make. His staff had seen me play in Phoenix and expressed that they really wanted me to come to Brandeis. It is a D3 school, so no baseball scholarship, but it is an excellent academic school. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting process? Don’t get discouraged from the lack of responses from college coaches because they are very busy with their teams; Coach Thompson told me about that but it is still difficult. Be flexible because dream schools are targeted by every player in the country and there are only a few spots on these teams. Keep up with communicating with the schools you want to go to even if it feels like a one-way relationship. I know that my parents have spent a lot of money during my baseball career between travel ball teams fees, travel expenses, training costs, and coaching fees. Coach Thompson & SportsForce are great and they can be a big help for a good player to try and get into a great school. Our Mission at SportsForce Baseball: We are on a mission to help our select number of qualified and evaluated players maximize their recruiting offers and make the best college decision. Started by CEO & founder Andrew Beinbrink, SportsForce Baseball is a nationally recognized college recruiting advisory group with over 40 former college coaches, players, and MLB scouts in 10 different states. During the last 11+ years, we’ve helped over 1,000 players make their college commitments. Read below, why we are different from every recruiting group in the country. Why SportsForce is Different: * View our Home Page VideoUnlike most recruiting companies, we do not just partner with anyone for our hands-on recruiting programs. Instead, we only partner with qualified players who meet our Five academic, athletic, and coachability selection factors. We evaluate between 10,000-12,000 players each summer and fall at top showcases and selectively advise, and advocate for only a limited number of players each year by directly contacting college coaches to help them maximize recruiting offers. Each of our expert college recruiters is limited to how many players they will advise so there is the best combination of hands-on guidance and personal recruiting outreach to college coaches. Social Media Exposure: We also utilize our growing Twitter following at @SportsForceBB which is followed by over 500 NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JC coaches nationwide and growing fast.
