We would like to congratulate Lucas Johnson on his commitment to Whitman College. Here is a highlight of his recruiting story from his mother. Good luck as a Blue!
College Decision:
Whitman College
Why did Lucas choose Whitman College?
The head coach, academics and location.
What makes Lucas excited about your future in college?
Whitman is high academics and has passways to colleges like Columbia and Lucas is looking forward to the higher education exposure he will receive on top of being a great baseball program.
Why would you recommend SportsForce to other student-athletes or parents?
It seems that the recruiting process doesn’t end once you commit and seems like Ryan and the staff will be part of Lucas’s baseball journey his entire college time or be a resource to us and we navigate each year.
What was Lucas’ recruiting journey like before SportsForce?
We had a great journey. The staff has been easy to work with.
What did your personal recruiting advisor do that made a significant impact?
Honest feedback.
Over the last 15 years, SportsForce has helped over 1,000 student-athletes and families successfully navigate the college recruiting and athletic scholarship process while saving families on average $80,000 in college expenses.
Our Mission at SportsForce Baseball:
We are on a mission to help our select number of qualified and evaluated players maximize their recruiting offers and make the best college decision.
Started by CEO & Founder Andrew Beinbrink, SportsForce Baseball is a nationally recognized college recruiting advisory group with over 40 former college coaches, players, and MLB scouts in 10 different states. During the last 14+ years, we’ve helped over 1,000 players make their college commitments.
Read below, why we are different from every recruiting group in the country.
Why SportsForce is Different:
* View our Home Page Video Unlike most recruiting companies, we do not just partner with anyone for our hands-on recruiting programs. Instead, we only partner with qualified players who meet our Five academic, athletic, and coachability selection factors.
We evaluate between 10,000-12,000 players each summer and fall at top showcases and selectively advise, and advocate for only a limited number of players each year by directly contacting college coaches to help them maximize recruiting offers.
Each of our expert college recruiters is limited to how many players they will advise so there is the best combination of hands-on guidance and personal recruiting outreach to college coaches.
Social Media Exposure: We also utilize our growing Twitter following at @SportsForceBB which is followed by over 500 NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JC coaches nationwide and growing fast.
