I just want to clarify that I in no way think that JUCO's are easy, I honestly don't know what the academics are like. But just from the volumes I've read and researched it seems that the admissions requirements are a lot less strict. to quote from "The High School Players Guide to College Baseball": JC's generally offer an open door admissions policy so you don't have to worry about getting in. You must, however, meet one of the following requirements: 1. Graduate from high school 2. Receive a high school equivalency diploma 3. Pass a national test such as a GED." I meant no offense to the gentleman from Western NY. If my son ends up at a JUCO and plays ball, we'll be tickled pink. They get noticed, no doubt, tons of kids drafted every year.
