Not so much their program but the facilities are 1st class. Might be the nicest D2 stadium in the country. I was there last week for some minor league games. 

Definetely small town USA, college is the town. We couldn't even find a breakfast joint near the school. No night life to speak of, which could be a good thing for some.

i talked to a parent of one player returning there next year, he and roommates were the only ones on team who lived off campus, rest were in the dorms. Overall they were happy with program. Their son was a D1 transfer in.

they had one heck of a pitcher there last year, Torres, he had maybe one of the best ever D2 pitching years. Check his stats out, awesome stuff. 

It is a small religious school in a small town. If you want bright city lights, look elsewhere.  If you like country living and want a school where you can get away to hunt or fish, you might love it.

As MMM1531 said, outstanding facilities. It's the only college I know where the baseball stadium overshadows the football stadium.

Historically a much better than average D2 that often sees the post-season, but hasn't broken through to elite status. They do well at developing pitchers and teaching an effective cutter. They get their share drafted.

School has an unusual schedule--you take one class at a time for two or three weeks and immerse yourself in that. There are pluses and minus to that.

Of all the college coaches I met, Coach Jones most struck me as the kind of man a parent would want his son to play under and draw character lessons from, regardless of whether you agree with his evangelical point of view, which he makes no attempt to hide. Seemed strong, forthright, organized, committed. When we went for our visit, he had done his homework on my son very thoroughly and seemed to have talked to everyone my son had played for or against. Didn't just try to sell his program--asked my son a lot of questions to help them decide together if it would be a good match for both parties. He recruits for character and attitude as well as for baseball talent. Impressive guy.

Son looked hard at this school and might have picked it--primarily because of Coach Jones--if they'd had a broader selection of academic majors.

This is old information. I work with a teacher who went to Tusculum for for 2 years. Transfers to Lynchburg College. Nothing transferred. 2 years of $/time wasted. Luckily his family could handle it. He was a pitcher. Be very leery of schools where there is an enormous % of students that are athletes combined with a 70% admission rate and there is no fee to apply. Not a hater but it is your money.
