I do know that Evansville has been a top-notch program for years. Under the helm of both Coach Brownlee(now at ISU), and now Head Coach Dave Schrage (formally of NIU).
Son origially signed NLI out of High School to play for Schrage at NIU, and Schrage took HC position at Evansville (son also recruited by Brownlee at Evansville), 3 weeks before school's start. IMMEDIATELY asked for NIU's release, and was denied.
ALL RECRIUTS- remember that your NLI is with the UNIVERSITY and not with the coach you want to play for!!
Anyway, after going the JUCO route (batting 2nd in the nation in his division), again signing D1 with UIC (leading hitter, starting CF'r)- life is good again, but a lesson learned.
P.S. He still got his first D1 at-bat (a hit@leadoff) in front of Coach Schrage when UIC played at Evansville for thier 2005 opening game. Pleasant surprise.
