Here’s what a lot of people won’t say…
The 5-for-5 rule doesn’t eliminate opportunities.
It eliminates excuses.
If college coaches have fewer roster spots, why should one go to you?
That’s the question every athlete should be asking themselves.
Control what you can control. Become impossible to overlook.
When we set out to create the D1 Prospects High School All-State Invitational, our goal was simple: recognize the athletes who earned it.
Putting together an event like this is no small task. It takes a village. Countless hours went into reviewing statistics, balancing positions, considering workload, ensuring representation from every classification, and building teams that would create a competitive and memorable experience for the athletes involved.
Were we perfect? Probably not. But every decision was made with one thing in mind: giving deserving athletes from across Utah an opportunity to be seen, celebrated, and compete alongside some of the best players in the state.
A huge thank you to our coaches, volunteers, umpires, families, photographers, and supporters who helped make this event possible. Most importantly, thank you to the athletes who showed up, competed, represented their schools with pride, and made this event such a special day.
The talent in Utah softball is incredible, and we are honored to play a small role in helping tell those stories.

Nothing but glove work today. It's not always game day, but these are the days that build the player I'm becoming. @jodyarmijo11 @CoachMariaWinn @BombersCerv16U @CoachBandin @CoachO_TAMUV @CoastRecruitsSB @LineDsoftball @TVCCSoftball @KilgoreSoftball @BlinnSoftball @CoachIngram4
Kid is SOOOO FAST! 🔥
Here is a video from this Fall. I got a bit out front on a change-up but I beat it out! #speed
@CoachManusos @ArmyWP_Softball @softballfutures @NCAASoftball
The kids I have worked with that have the most variety in footage are the ones who have had the quickest success and offers from schools they were genuinely interested in.
Example - Outfielder
1. “Controlled” footage - Reps that show ground coverage, speed, angels, short balls, GB’s, throws to home, 2B, 3B etc… accompanied by BP footage of side view and behind view.
2. Game Footage - Singles, doubles etc against quality pitching.. stolen bases, beating out a throw (if you have speed), small ball.
3. “Lonely Work” or practice footage
-and-
They have a lot of it…

👇🏽 Parents & Athletes — let's clear this up!
Once upon a time, an "offer" meant a scholarship— real financial aid, and they only offered you if they truly wanted you.
Now the word offer gets used for 3 things:
1️⃣ Scholarship Offer - money attached.
2️⃣ Preferred Walk-On (PWO) - roster spot.
3️⃣ Non-Committable Offer - They usually don’t tell you it’s non-committable: but basically a school likes you, but you can't commit yet / or sometimes not at all.
💡 Always ask: "Is this offer committable, scholarship, or walk-on?"
Knowing the difference can save you from a lot of confusion later. Trust me! 🙏🏽

🚨 READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO PLAY IN COLLEGE 🚨
Everyone posts their wins.
Everyone shows the rankings.
Everyone talks about “exposure.”
But here’s the truth that nobody wants to admit:
✅ Coaches recruit who reaches out
✅ Coaches recruit who communicates consistently
✅ Coaches recruit who responds fast
✅ Coaches recruit who shows personality + effort
✅ Coaches recruit character, not just stats
You don’t need to be the best player in the country.
You need to be the athlete who:
🔥 Emails every week
🔥 Sends schedules
🔥 Updates video and metrics
🔥 Replies professionally
🔥 Builds REAL relationships
🔥 Doesn’t quit when it gets hard
Stop waiting to be “found.”
Start taking action to be recruited.
The athletes who commit aren’t lucky…
They’re intentional.
If you’re serious about playing in college:
👇 type “I’m all in” and I’ll send you 3 things to start doing THIS WEEK.

A successful weekend, super proud of my team for landing 1st place! There were definitely times a fight was put up, but God led the way. As we close out the weekend just know the work will continue to be put in. @jodyarmijo11 @BlinnSoftball @BombersCerv16U @CoachMariaWinn
If you are truly seeing the amount of 2026’s de-committing and committing elsewhere.. you’ll understand why the 2027 landscape and every one that comes after it will be that much harder.
