Hope that the recruits at the school(s) described above are happy with their courses.
Yeah. It's really a D2 in disguise. But they can get away with it because California has LOTS of outstanding baseball players who don't want to leave California if they don't have to. So it's a buyers market and this school has decided to try and exploit the buyers market to the max.
It does lead to a lot of dashed hopes and embittered former recruits. My son is still good friends with many of the guys he came in with and a few of the guys who came behind him. Even though they have all moved on, they do not necessarily speak fondly of the program.
