Recruits go where you are wanted and needed! Never get strong armed or feel pressured. My college made me make a decision within 1 week of the offer and I was so scared that I would lose the offer, so I committed. Be transparent and make the best choice.

Why you riding the bench when you could start here?

There are incredible opportunities at DII, DIII, NAIA, and JUCO levels—often with great coaching, playing time, and academic support. Success isn’t about the logo on your jersey; it’s about finding a school that fits your values, goals, and development path.

NAIA = OPPORTUNITY JUCO = OPPORTUNITY D3 = OPPORTUNITY D2 = OPPORTUNITY You ONLY need one!!!

Parents: They need the losses. The bench time. The struggle. Stop stealing their growth opportunities.

By the time you reach college baseball, effort is assumed. Everyone lifts. Everyone trains. Everyone “works hard.” The separator? Executing under pressure. Adjusting when it goes wrong. Producing when the game speeds up. Talent gets you there. Performance keeps you there.

Kid showed up 10 minutes late to practice last Thursday. Freshman. Third week on the team. Still learning how everything works. I didn't say anything. Just moved the practice forward without him. He jogged up, quiet, and slid into the back of the group. Everyone kept moving.

We are keeping the Iowa Lakes community in our thoughts following today’s tragic bus crash. The #NJCAA stands ready to support all those impacted.
