College Recruiting 101: How Has the Pandemic Impacted Recruiting ?
In our last edition of College Recruiting 101 we spoke to 5 fathers who experienced the college recruiting with their sons. All five of them went through the Division-I recruiting process. It came to my attention, however, that all of these were pre-covid, and as we know that has changed the landscape considerably. So I sought out 3 parents that have not only dealt with the college recruiting process, but all three are current coaches that have had to adapt to the post covid era. The individuals being quoted in this story are Andrew Aschettino, Eric Strovink and Eric Reichenbach. Aschettino is currently an assistant coach at St. Joseph’s University. Prior to that, he was the head coach at Rocky Point for 18 seasons where he led them to their first County Championship in his final sea...
Mount Sinai Returns A Young Team With Playoff Experience
Coach Eric Reichenbach knew he had an extremely young team in 2019. In fact, it featured six freshmen that received regular playing time – the most in his 16 year tenure. “I didn’t know what to expect going into the season with all those freshmen,” said Reichenbach. “Playing varsity as a freshman is like playing four years up.

His team composed of six freshmen wound up finishing with a league record of 9-6 – losing in the postseason to East Islip – but a remarkable feat for such a young team. What they did have was three senior pitchers and the League MVP in SS T.J. Werner. “T.J. is everything you&...

The junior fired a one-hit shutout with 11 Ks against a very talented Mustangs lineup that featured four seniors that went on to play at college. Those players are Ryan Picarello (Adelphi), Jared Donnelly (NJIT), Ethan Angress (CCNY) and George Rainer (RPI). “We had a really good group of kids,” said Head Coach Eric Reichenbach, who just finished his 14th season. “We were hamstrung a little with our No. 1 pitcher going down and missing the...
