Hello everyone!

 

I was wondering if anyone has any info on Crown College in MN?? I just got off the phone with the head coach there and he's a super great guy! Kinda gave me the basic rundown about the program and about himself. Seems to be a fairly new program in the UMAC conference. Seems to know a lot about baseball, he was a 4 year scholarship catcher at New Mexico State University! I was just wondering if anyone had any other info other than what he told me? Anyone have kids playing there? Ever played against them? Thanks!

Hello, and welcome to the HS Baseball Web!

 

I'm from Minnesota as my screen name suggests, and my son has played against Crown College. He was a 2004 HS grad so this was a while ago, but at that time Crown was at the bottom of the UMAC conference. I just checked the last few years of UMAC standings and Crown has remained at the bottom of the conference from 2006 thru 2012... last place 6 of those 7 years:

...etc.

 

(My son played for the #2 team in the conference, BLC. The #1 team in the conference, St. Scholastica is usually ranked nationally.)

 

It sounds like Crown might have a new coach who is working to recruit better talent. It might be a great opportunity to be part of moving the team up to a more competitive standing in the conference, but just wanted to point you to the recent history of the team.

 

Way back when my son played them, they seemed like a team of nice young men with a strong team spirit. The college is in a smaller town/city, so even when they're not practicing or playing games I'd guess the team hangs out together.

 

Good luck with your recruiting journey!

 

Julie
