Oriole,
That's a pretty broad question, there are very good schools all over the country. If you want Juco baseball powers, try Googling Junior College World Series and looking over the results of the past few years. California has their own playoffs. If you want to stay in your region, you'll have to tell where you are.
You'll find some good info already posted on Juco transfers on a thread under Recruiting Questions.

We've also been looking into JUCO for our son. If you're from the midwest, the Jayhawk league in Kansas always seems to have some schools that do well and make it into national polls. Best way that I've found to get info is to find the schools in the state/area that you are interested in and check out their websites. Look to see where they play and how far they go in regionals and nationals. E-mail the coaches and ask for info. Good Luck!
depends if you want to stay in region or best for developing players and quality of players and how they do for promoting players for the draft. if you are looking at the need to look to Texas, Oklahoma and Florida. Many top JUCO Powers and quality programs.

Make sure you know of the rule pertaining towards satifactory progress towards a degree. (If you desire to transfer to NCAA D-I)
Qualifiers do not need to graduate from 2 yr school. Non-qualifiers do have to graduate from 2 yr school.
NCAA rules state that:
After 2 yrs plus fall semester of 3rd year you must have completed 40% of a degree.
After 3 yrs plus fall semester of 4th year you must have completed 60% of a degree.
After 4 yrs plus fall semester of 5h year you must have completed 80% of a degree.
So basically if you should stay at a JUCO for 3yrs for whatever reason (ie. redshirt),it would be EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE for you meet the 60% rule due to the fact that JUCO's very rarely, if not, EVER offer 300 level classes.
Please note that the satifactory progress / % of degree completion will vary from Intitution and depends on your Major.
Are you sure the 40%, 60%, 80% thresholds aren't required to be met before starting fall semester? That's assuming the student entered college in the fall initially.
Per NCAA Bylaws
Per NCAA Bylaws
quote:14.4.3.2 Fulfillment of Percentage of Degree Requirements. A student-athlete who is entering his or her
third year of collegiate enrollment shall have completed successfully at least 40 percent of the course requirements
in the student's specific degree program. A student-athlete who is entering his or her fourth year of
collegiate enrollment shall have completed successfully at least 60 percent of the course requirements in the
student's specific degree program. A student-athlete who is entering his or her fifth year of collegiate enrollment
shall have completed successfully at least 80 percent of the course requirements in the student's specific
degree program. The course requirements must be in the student's specific degree program (as opposed to
the student's major). (Adopted: 1/10/92 effective 8/1/92, Revised: 1/9/96, 10/31/02 effective 8/1/03; for
those student-athletes first entering a collegiate institution full time on or after 8/1/03)
Yea, I'm pretty sure.....
This is from 14.4.3.2.3 in the NCAA D-I Manual....
Timing of Certification....
A student-athlete's eligibility under this provision shall be determined on the basis of the student's academic record in existence at the beginning of that student's third or subsequent academic year (i.e., fifth semester or seventh quarter) of full-time enrollment. If the student-athlete is ineligible under the provisions of the progress toward degree legislation at the beginning of that term, eligibility may be reinstated at the beginning of any other regular term of that student's specific academic year, based upon the student's subsequent fulfillment of the necessary degree requirements.

Ok, eligibility can be reinstated. Does that mean the student is ineligible during the fall term (i.e. he couldn't participate in fall practice)? He would have the opportunity to regain eligibilty during the fall term and then be eligible to compete in the spring.
Am I thinking right? My point was that, in order to participate with the team in the fall, you'd need to meet the progress toward degree requirements prior to the beginning of fall term.

As far as I know, yes the student has the get the 40, 60, 80 done prior the spring semester.
Can they practice in the fall? Yes, if I'm not mistaken.
I was just pointing out to Oriole 21 that it would not be wise not to stay at the JC for three years, as it would make very difficult to have 60% of a degree complete after those three years while at the JC.
