My son played there and received his associates. I really can't speak too much for the academics, but would imagine they are like most JUCOs. But the program speaks for itself. One of the top programs in the Midwest. I forgot how many conference titles they have won in a row, maybe 9? The last two regionals didn't produce the results they wanted, but they just couldn't put it together that week, and give STL credit for playing great ball and winning the regional. The main thing is they do a good job at getting players ready to move to the next level. Look on their website to see where they send players, and they already have around 4 guys committed to D1 for the 2017 season. And seeing them play this fall, their future is as bright as their past.
