Any info on these two schools would be great. Prior recruiting experiences or campus life?

Arkansas is a sports crazy campus. Lots of enthusiasm for athletics. My friend's son attends and really enjoys the overall experience. He is not an athlete.
It has one of the best college baseball stadiums in the country.
No info on Mizzou.

My oldest son was recruited by both. I'd say you can't go wrong with either program. The facilities at Ark are second to none. MU's program seems to be on the upswing in the past few years.
Missouri's coach Vitello is a trustworthy person.
Finally joined the site after months of reading the very informative responses to some great questions.
Seems to be a great support network.
Can't answer about Missouri; however, Ark. showed early interest in my son (2009 lefty P and outfielder @88 - 91).
Great program and facilities; however, my son felt it was further from home than he wanted, should baseball not work out.
Certainly, a program on the rise!

I thought I posted on here - maybe it got deleted??? I would boil all my thoughts about Arkansas into this - Great program, great facilities (and they pack 'em in by the 1000s at the games), good school, great social environment, great town - but do not go there unless you are a stud! They do over-recruit. I am sure many good players go there and do fine. But the buzz among the Arkansas boys is that they would not risk going there unless they were a top-prospect stud. There is just too much down-side risk. If you are a top-prospect stud - you could have an amazing experience.
