[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The “iron sharpens iron” comment is what’s laughable.

The Gibbs summer teams quit in the middle or tourneys and plays against third rate competition (in front of few scouts or college coaches).

Kids who want to face better competition and not pay the Gibbs extortion fee are harassed and tossed aside.

Kids who stick to the program get to play at D3 schools or, if they’re lucky, walk on at a D1 school.

The purpose for program isn’t for the kids who strive to play against the best.  It’s designed so the Gibbs boys can maximize profits off the baseball dreams of kids.

So to this point if there were other local programs available for developing talent, why does SJC win literally every year? Because they are the best.   Because they are a serious, machine of a program.  Its not that a DM or PVI doesnt try as hard to be good - its just that they are not! [/quote]

I think these posts make it clear. They win every year because they cheat the system to practice and play together year round. They also recruit heavily and are not completely honest during recruitment. In the process of winning all these championships, they significantly diminish their players' college prospects by waiting too long to start the college conversation, pigeon-holing players, having all players play together meaning that they aren't always at the appropriate event, and eliminating the possibility of another coach being able to talk to colleges about their players.
