Akron

It's a good question. I've followed the program and the conference over the last several years and it seems to be Kent State and then everyone else. The reason Kent State seems to win on a consistent basis is they are attracting top-level pitching - in some cases major league caliber pitching and I don't see anyone else in the MAC doing that.

If this new coach can attract better players, then they might be able to challenge Kent someday. It will take several years for that to happen however imho.

The new coach is Rembielek who was at Kent State for years under and after Danny Hall left for Georgia Tech. He went to Wake Forest to be HC then after leaving there was a volunteer with Hall at GT until getting this position.

Didn't realize that is who you were talking about. That sounds like a good hire and someone who can argue to a recruit that they know how to compete with the likes of KSU.

You may want to send a PM to Midlo Dad as I believe his son was recruited by Coach Rembielek at Wake Forest.

New University of Akron baseball coach Rick Rembielak announced the hiring of three assistant coaches today. Offensive coach Fred Worth, pitching coach Matt Ford, and volunteer assistant coach Drew Saylor will make up Rembielak's staff for the upcoming 2012 season.
