My nephew will be an incoming freshmen pitcher at FGCU this coming fall. The baseball program is the #4 program in the State of FL behind the big three; Miami, uf & fsu. The other state schools; FIU, FAU, USF & UCF are so far behind in terms of what Coach Tullet has done in only a few years.
Coach Tullet built the program from ground up, literally since there wasn't even a field when he got there. Academics are important and GPA's are expected to be mainlined at a certain percent or your off the team. The school is still small so your getting a private school education for the cost of a public school.
FGCU once again finished first in the A-Sun conf. (ok so it's not the ACC or SEC ) and will be eligible for their first regional appearance this season. (Personally would love to see them in Coral Gables)
Sale is projected to go in somewhere in the first top 10 spots in this years draft.
Needless to say I look forward to spending my weekends driving across the alley to watch them play!
It is a nice mid-major program, similar in baseball quality to a bunch of others like FAU (better RPI right now), UCF, FIU etc. Good luck to your nephew.
