Furman Univ. Camp

If you do go to the Furman camp, please let me know how it turned out. My son is an 09 who is going to a baseball camp at Davidson (NC) in a few weeks, and will be stopping by Furman just for a visit.

Thanks!

I was there last year as a sophmore and loved the camp. Theyre not doing this just for money and the head coach ron smith is a class act. I was the only sophmore invited there and i wasnt treated differently because i was younger. I might attend this year also.

My son enjoyed the Furman camp/showcase last year. Yes, they let younger players attend, but there were only a couple when we were there, and mainly for the experience. Each player is given a written eval, regardless of age. We were very impressed with Ron Smith--a stand-up guy. Tell your son to be ready to shake hands, look him in the eye, and introduce himself. Coach Smith singles the prospects out individually right away with a handshake and intro. All else is a pro-style workout and eval.

They are a small D1 and a good academic school. Boys on the team seemed very nice, with some good talent last year. They are definately looking for prospects at these camps.
