First, I spent some time just browsing around. I hit up the usua?htiw l suspects, you know, fan forums, some sports news sites, just to get a feel for the general conversation. What names kept popping up? What schools were we competing with?
Scouting the Players
Then I moved on to trying to find actual player info. This was trickier. I found some lists of committed players, but it's hard to know how accurate those are. It's like, who's updating this stuff? Is it some random dude in his basement? You never really know.
I wanted to see these guys in action, so I started searching for highlight videos. YouTube is great, of courses. I could search for specific * helped a bit, but it's still just highlights, you know? You're only seeing the best moments.
- Watched tons of videos.
- Searched players'name on multiple websites.
- Read some articles.
The Bigger Picture
I also realized I needed to understand the bigger picture. What are the coaches looking for? What positions are they prioritizing? So I started reading some interviews with the coaching staff. I also looked into past recruiting classes to see if I could spot any trends.
Honestly, it's a lot of information to sift through. It felt like drinking from a firehose at times! But I'm starting to get a better sense of how it all works. It's not just about finding the best players, it's about finding the right players, the ones who fit the team's culture and system.
It's been a grind, no doubt, but I'm learning a ton. I'll keep digging and see what else I can uncover about Texas baseball recruiting.
