OT- Please help me get this kid noticed
There is a kid in my area that I think is a very real D1 baseball propect. Unfortunately, we're in the middle of nowhere so no scouts come here. He's attended one showcase camp and has interest from some smaller schools and has heard that a few others such as Boston College want to see him at another showcase towards fall.
In the meantime, I'm trying to help get the word out about him any way I can. Right now he's up for an Athlete of the Week award at the local paper. He's won it once or twice already for baseball and football, but everytime he wins it looks good on his "resume".
Please go here and vote for Steven Bender.
Where's the Friday Night Lights creeper-van? To Pennsylvania, STAT!!!
Rivals' want ads. Not only way OT but also an example of what's wrong today. Tell the kid to get an education.
He's trying to do that through earning a baseball scholarship...does it really need to be spelled out? Responses like this are what's wrong with the world, not a kid trying to accomplish HIS goals.
Wow..you're a dick......
Well worth the DP.
That's what she said?
Steve in PA wants us to vote for Steven Bender in Milton, PA. Howzit goin, Bender?
I voted anyways..Go Blue
41yo men don't play Legion Ball. He's the older brother of my son's friend.
have forms on line that prospects can fill out. This may be the way to go to get his name out there.
If he was as good as you say he is, they'd find him.
In reality, I just wanted to be an ass.
Have him go to ShowcaseU.com. Chad Durbin and Jake Chapman own it, they're both good guys. They help baseball prospects get noticed.
Even in the non-football world, TomVH has all of the answers. Well done Tom, Well done.
Tom it's the same kid we discussed a few weeks ago. I think that his mother did register him on there, but I'm not positive.
There is a huge showcase in grosse pointe that you have to subscribe a year in advance for. Tons of scouts.

Do you want to post it here or do you want an email?
Shouldn't the coach be the one promoting his athlete? Sending out tapes and such trying to get him noticed. But i wish the kid luck, hopefully he makes it.
The coaches at this school have no experience with that sort of thing. This year was the first year they've made the playoffs in 12 or 14 years...mostly due to Bender's play. The football coach did more for him, and had several schools interested. I know Lehigh was one of them, not sure about the other two.
But, he's given up on football to concentrate on baseball.
The family is a very large old-school family with lots of kids all with the same parents. Throwing cash around to every shady or not shady person that says they can get him noticed isn't an option.
I'm going to get with his mother and do a promotional video. The Legion season just ended and I'm really busy so it will probably be closer to fall.
Has he sent tape of himself to schools?
Man I've never "seen" you so worked up.
But I agree. I liked the system from two generations ago (with the rectangular grey boxes and the arrows) best.
He won the voting portion by a 3:2 margin.
