I was recruited by Ball State last year and I personally liked Coach Beals and his staff. Although I think they are a young coaching staff I really enjoyed it. They have a nice field and the campus and surrounding town is nice as well. Overall, if your son got a scholarship from them he should be proud. I ultimatly ended up at Indiana State, but remember Ball State has had their share of first round draft picks over the past few year. Bryan Bullington, the Snyder kid and another pitcher (I forget).
Good luck in everything
