How Max Went From "Some Attention" to Boston College?
We break down each stage of the College Baseball Recruiting & Advising Process:
1. Before
2. Objective College Recruiting Evaluation
3. Personalized Recruiting Game Plan
4. Promotional Process
5. College Recruiting Results
6. College Commitment
* Whether you want to handle recruiting on your own or see if you qualify for our professional college advising program, this story will help you.
1. Before
Max wasn't starting from zero. He was already talented and already getting looks from programs. But in today's landscape, "some attention" isn't the same as the right attention. The family knew a promising profile could still stall out without more eyes on it, and more doors opened.
2. Objective & Honest College Recruiting Evaluation
After one of our expert College Recruiting Advisors evaluated Max's video, stats, and grades, we met with the family to go over:
- Honest & objective scouting report
- Video & metrics evaluation
- Family's college goals
- Existing target list of colleges
- College prospect potential
We also dug into their current recruiting efforts, the gap between where Max stood and where the family wanted him to end up, and whether the partnership was a fit both ways under our Selection Criteria:
- Quality Academic Standing
- Qualified College Baseball Prospect
- Open & Coachable Student-Athlete
- Open & Coachable Parents
- Character Commitment On & Off the Field
More Than an Advisor
What stood out most to the Goldberg family wasn't just the results — it was the relationship. Max's personal recruiting advisor, John Cackowski (@cack92), reached out to multiple schools on his behalf and compiled a detailed scouting report showcasing his abilities. But beyond the strategy and the outreach, he became something more valuable: a trusted sounding board and ultimately, a friend.
3. Personalized Recruiting Game Plan
Once the family enrolled, we got moving:
- Online Recruiting Profile set up
- Metrics & stats verified
- Video reviewed and professionally edited
- Strategic target list built
- Promotion & recruiting exposure plan developed
- Camp and showcase options evaluated strategically
4. Promotional Process
Max's personal recruiting advisor, John Cackowski, went to work:
- Compiled a detailed scouting report showcasing Max's abilities
- Direct outreach to multiple college programs on his behalf
- Ongoing coaching calls and communication with the family throughout
5. College Recruiting Results
As Max's father put it: SportsForce brought many more eyes onto his son. More programs. More coaches. More doors opened, turning a promising profile into a full-blown Division 1 opportunity.
6. College Commitment
Why Boston College? Max's dad didn't hesitate: it was the best fit and the best opportunity. Not the flashiest offer. Not the loudest pitch. Simply the right combination of program, coaches, and future.
- Division 1
- High academic
- Right coaching staff
- Right athletic AND academic fit
- A dream he's chased his entire life
"Even if your son is already getting some attention, don't assume that's enough. The right guidance can open doors you didn't know existed and turn a good opportunity into the perfect fit." — Max's father
Good luck as an Eagle, Max 🦅 @Max_Goldberg23

Decommitments are up across college baseball, and every post about it explains the same dominoes.
Explaining why it happens doesn't help the kid it happens to.
Here's the part nobody writes: how to see one coming, and what to do in the 72 hours after 👇🧵
And the single biggest mistake we see:
Guys commit, then go dark on every other school.
Stop emailing. Stop updating film. Delete the target list.
Then the spot disappears in November of senior year, and they're starting from zero with no relationships left.
IF IT HAPPENS in the first 72 hours:
- Don't post about it angry. Coaches read everything.
- Get the real reason — roster, money, or performance.
- Ask that coach to make calls for you. Most will.
- Reactivate your list that week, one level wider than before.
