However, I would like to know the kids from the area that have signed and actually finished a college career. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if its D1 or NAIA. To complete a 4 or 5 year career is an accomplishment that is worth noting.

Anyone have kids who signed and finished? Maybe even some accomplishments (individual or team)?

I would imagine that Minford's new coach understands the process. Was there a particular player or players that wanted to play college baseball but the coach did not attempt to help them? Was the coach ever approached about assisting a particular player? It is as much the parents/players responsibility inform the coach of their interest to play college sports as it is the coach to try and promote a player. There is also a lot of variables that come into play like, what type of program are they interested in, how far away are they willing to go, what type of degrees do the schools offer and do they fit with the players career path. Again, it must be a joint effort between the player/parents and the coach to determine which schools/programs to target and are a good fit for the desired major and baseball skill level.

I have been though the process and would never expect a coach to do this for my child without making it a joint effort.

Coach Martin former coach at Minford, will tell you there is a college for every young man that wants to play college baseball. Have to look for it and sell your self on what and where you want to go.
