Son had several offers to make official visits starting in late September, made some visits and politely declined others. He made his last visit the first week of October and committed to Liberty 2 days later. He is very excited and appears to be the perfect fit for him from a baseball, faith, culture, and climate perspective. Incredible facilities to get work done to be the best player you can be, an awesome coaching staff, a way above average mid-major conference, and an awesome mid-week schedule every year.

Congrats! Definitely some incredible facilities (new stadium is awesome) and better baseball weather than IA. I drive by Liberty all the the time, and they used to be a my customer many moons ago when they didn't have two nickels to rub together. That changed in the early 2000s, and the University has come a long way in 25 years. Liberty's founder almost ran me, and their CIO over in his GMC Suburban on a blind corner. It was pretty scary. He got out of the car to apologize, and we had a conversation that I'll never forget.
You're exactly right, there are great opportunities for mid-week games playing UVA, Virginia Tech, Radford, VCU, ODU, Richmond, etc... Conference USA is a pretty darn competitive conference, and Liberty will have to step up. This will be a great opportunity for your son to test his skills.
Best of luck!
