mdstaz,

Yes it is difficult to visit a school while the sport is in season for you and the school. I don’t think there are many visits going on during the season because every involved is busy. There may be some local visits, but that may be it.

The D1 timetable is much earlier than Ivy/D3. Personally, I saw it begin the summer after sophomore year for very elite athletes, and after junior year for most athletes. The level of recruitment and timetable is also determined by the level (or conference) of D1school. Ivys and D3s are on a vastly different timetable. Their recruiting activities are tied into admissions. My son saw their interest peak in the summer after junior year & fall of senior year.

I hope that answers your question. If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me. My family has the battle scars from the baseball recruiting is process. We’re very excited it is over.
