I really feel like this is a tricky question.
I don't feel like guys should be interested in going to a school because its the best baseball program in the State. Who is to say where is the best? Each coach is different, with different staffs. All these coaches in Illinois are good people with the best interests of the kids in mind.
Not only that, but each school has a different degree of acedemic difficulty to an extent. Is your son or daughter able to leave the roost and go Away? Not all. Is my kid going to play and how long will it take? These are the important things..
Just like Playball likes to wear his community on his jersey as he stated earlier. I think its along those same lines, We are from Illinois and the Midwest, so lets concentrate on making our midwestern area a better place for kids to continue their educations and playing careers.
Now , for all the naysayers who will attack this and ask then why do I go to Jupiter, read the article and tell me where the reporter saw the SIU coach.. Thats why we go!
The who's the best stuff is overrated! Find a fit!!
