@PTWood posted:It is a super interesting list and I agree with starting with a wide net. I think it would also be good to get one some campuses to see what your son feels comfortable with. Go to some local colleges even if he isn't considering going there to see if large (Ohio State, Tech), small (Richmond, Elon), urban (VCU...you see where I'm going), rural matter to him. That also helps focus your search.
As for specifics, we have friends playing at AND committed to VA Tech (plus it was on PTWoodson's list) and Towson who are very happy. UMBC not so much (in terms of the players there being happy). Georgetown has a new coach and seems to be building a healthy culture there. My husband and I both went to Richmond so Go Spiders...coach is a great guy AND it seems to be a school that a lot of people target because it ticks a lot of boxes but it is a bit harder (from a baseball and academic perspective) than some people realize. Dayton and Wright State seem to fish in the same pond and have a good reputation at least with the people I know. Wright State loves to challenge itself in the pre-season so whoever goes there has a chance to play in some cool venues in the SEC/ACC. My son has a HS teammate who is a freshman there. I can dig more if you'd like.
Also, fellow HSBBWer has a great website that digs into a lot of the data about schools, teams (including turn over) which may be helpful: https://collegebaseballinsights.com/
Have fun with the search, stay open and listen to your kid.
Good luck.
