Another happy client's testimonial ...
Contact me so I can share what TCWPreps.com can do for your son ...
I am writing this letter in recommendation of TCW Preps recruiting service. My son, Bruce, has played for American Legion teams and Summer Travel ball teams over the past 3 summers. He has also attended many camps at a cost of $125-$500 all over Virginia. However I feel as though Jeff Milburn and his TCW Preps service has given my son invaluable exposure to schools all over the country. We started with a general background of my son’s academic, athletic, and community accomplishments and Coach Milburn went the extra mile downloading and attaching his curriculum for Governor’s school at the Lord Fairfax Community College website.
When Coach Milburn submitted Bruce’s information he also followed up with phone calls or emails to teams that he knew would be a good match for my son. He also personally has many contacts with coaches in the state of Virginia! He is also not afraid to pick up the telephone or use any media possible to get your player noticed.
Since my son is in 11th grade he cannot be contacted directly by the coaches but, from the emails that Coach Milburn has sent, he has received camp information from about 35 schools inviting him to come to their camps for a better look. He has definitely made it into their recruiting database! Some of the schools that have sent information are UVA, George Mason, VA Tech, VMI, VCU, William and Mary, Princeton, Harvard, Bucknell, and College of Charleston.
When I asked Jeff how much it would cost to do his service he was more concerned about getting Bruce’s name out than getting paid for his service. This is a totally different approach than many national recruiting service companies. I have heard of a few area players paying over $1000 for the same service that, through Jeff, would be much less expensive. I have also heard of some players attending national events that can be well over $2,500. They promise a lot of looks by college and professional scouts but at the end you realize that nobody was really watching for recruiting purposes.
Coach Milburn’s service goes right to all the recruiting coordinators’ computer so that they have all the necessary facts when getting the recruiting process underway. If he also does a video attachment they can have a prospective recruit’s athletic ability, academic, SAT scores and community service involvement in front of them at a click of a button. This is much easier to for them to remember than trying to get 1 of 200 kids’ numbers when also trying to pitch BP or hit fungos at one of the various camps!
This service should be a no-brainer for high school and legion coaches to recommend for their players. Actually, if another service is recommended, I would be skeptical of what the service offers over TCW Preps for over $1000 more in price.
If there are any questions regarding this service or Coach Milburn’s ambition for your child’s best interest at achieving a scholarship to play baseball at the school of his choice, please don’t hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Bruce Keenan

Damion Carroll will go pro!
Baseball: Foxes’ Carroll will sign Rays contract on same day he graduates
BY TAFT COGHILL JR.
Damion Carroll took an important step toward his future on Wednesday when he agreed to terms with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Now the former King George High School baseball standout is set to deal with another major progression—graduation.
Carroll flew to Tampa, Fla., Wednesday after he agreed to a seven-year contract with the Rays. The deal features a $190,000 signing bonus and a four-year college scholarship, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations.
Carroll has to take a physical examination today in Tampa, and he’s expected to officially sign his contract on Saturday at King George’s graduation.
That will be followed by a cookout at his home, his mother, Melissa Holmes, said.
“Oh yes, Lord, it’s a very exciting time,” Holmes said.
Carroll, a 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher, helped lead King George to the Group AA state tournament this past season, going 8–0 with a 1.30 ERA and 131 strikeouts in 66 innings.
He was recently named Group AA state player of the year by the Virginia High School Coaches Association.
Carroll was selected by the Rays in the sixth round (212th overall) of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft earlier this month. When Carroll signs the contract, he’ll turn down an opportunity to play for San Jacinto Community College in Texas.
Carroll couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday. His mother said she expects him to adjust well to life as a professional on the field, but added that her son has yet to experience life away from home. He boarded an airplane alone for the first time on Wednesday.
“I think he’ll do very well as far as baseball,” Holmes said. “As far as being away from home, he’s never experienced that before. But he’s very excited.”
Carroll is expected to begin his career with one of the Rays’ rookie league affiliate teams, but likely will not pitch this year, according to the source.
But that hasn’t quelled the excitement for Carroll in King George, his mother said. She said her son has received community support from churches, schools, family and friends.
Holmes said it’s all happening fast for Carroll, who wasn’t on the MLB radar until his senior year.
“Everybody’s pulling for him,” Holmes said. “We’re trying to stay as humble as we can be.”
Meanwhile, Stafford High School graduate Adam Lopez has signed with the Chicago White Sox and has been assigned to their Bristol (Tenn.) farm team in the rookie Appalachian League, which opens play next week.
Lopez, a 6-foot-5 right-handed pitcher, missed most of his junior and senior seasons at VMI after undergoing “Tommy John” elbow ligament replacement surgery.
