[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are so noxious and petty. Congrats to all the D3 players who get to continue their love of sport and any merit recieved.

Respectfully, congrats for what exactly? Anyone can walk on low rank D3 teams. Most of these kids will quit the sport after a year of riding the bench. It’s just these travel sports parents trying to save face because they can’t come to grips with the fact they wasted money and years of free time gunning for a D1 offer that never materialized.[/quote]

You are just wrong. My son is in the middle of recruitment for baseball. Kids on his travel team will go D1, D2, D3, and JUCO. His high school’s top players will go D3, no D1 talent. Getting on the radar of the D3s is just as hard as D1 - sure, a lower level player, but they still have to want you. You can’t show up and decide to play. They have full rosters and don’t just add walk ons.

Mock D3 athletes if it gets you off - whatever gets you through the day. But you are wrong about what it takes to play at a D3.[/quote]
