I've researched the school, been to a baseball camp there and going again soon. Personally I feel for a school of that size, it dedicates a lot to its baseball program and is serious about it. Other comments?

As a coach who has seen a number of our players attend leMoyne and flourish there I have nothing but good things to say about the school and its coaches

thats good to hear. Do you know anything in detail about the coaching style of Coach Owens and Coach Hoy or anything?

All I can tell you is that the players we have had/have there love it---The Blevins boy is a great example---I was involved with Bobby from LI thru HS---look at his career at LeMoyne---we also have a Candian boy on the team, Adam LeDuc who made Academic All Conference as well as being a force out of the bullpen

Chris Davis....
What position do you play? Maybe finding a school that has a particular field position need, is the way to go to fine-tune your search.

Chris,
I don't know a whole lot about how the colleges compare, but I've gotten the feeling just by talking to other folks around where we live that LeMoyne has about the best baseball program around. One of my kids should be at the overnight camp in June. How did you like the camp when you went last summer?

Made it to the regionals this year, and short stop, Andy Parrino was drafted.
So was there #1 pitcher Bobby Blevins
I'm also going this year. I thought it was one of the best baseball camps ive ever been to. great competition and atmosphere.
Chris,
Thanks for the camp critique. This will be the first camp my kid's ever gone to, besides the one put on by the local minor league team which was just a day camp. I don't know if he'll be staying overnight or commuting daily; It depends on his traveling team practice schedule. I know he's got a game at 6 PM on the 26th. Anyhow, hope it goes well again this year.
Best Regards,
Strike

Chris,
Update---I heard a rumor, only an hour ago, that LeMoyne's baseball program is to be demoted from Div I to Div II beginning next year. The reason I was given is that they don't have enough Div I sports programs at the school. This isn't a factor for us, but it's something that might be of concern to you. You may want to make an inquiry as to whether or not there's any truth to this rumor. I'm confident it'll still be a great place to play.

WOW really? thats surprising they are having much success at the d1 level so i dont see why they would move down. ill still be a fan either way. i'll look into that. where'd you hear that from, is it an online source?
Chris
In many cases the league the program plays in will dictate the level, I or II
It may well be they have to go II since baseball is the only I sport they play and the MAAC, where they play wants their other sports involved
Let me see if I can't make a call or two and find out what is happening

I had also gotten this news about 5 days or so but held off until I could get further confirmation. I was told today that it will infact happen and that LaMoyne will be joing the NE-10. D2, and will be subject to a 2 year probation? period before they can compete in the playoffs.
The reasons given were in fact the numer of D1 sports and an issue with scholarship counters.
This si effective immediately

thanks for the info merc and tr. so was it the MAAC that wanted them to have another sport in d1? at least the NE-10 is a strong d2 conference. so then they will join st.rose, franklin pierce there. i just find it odd that they have to move down. i mean they made it into the regionals and fought hard against ohio state. a little disappointing in my opinion
so what will happen to the kids that committed who were thinking they were going to play for a d1 school. the scholarship issue would also be kind of messy now too if they are going to d2 immediately?
According to the Syracuse paper, Le Moyne has filed an appeal to the MAAC.
I doubt that they would roll over that quick and accept DII without a fight. The program has been far too successful for that. Not to mention some high quality players that they may lose.

thats true although im confused about the current situation right now? so are they d2 next yr, yr after? im just confused on the situation-anyone have any links for me to find info
i found a newspaper link through a search engine
Hey Chris,
Thanks for the Post Standard article. I hadn't seen it as we get the Auburn paper but don't subscribe to the Syracuse paper.
By the way, good luck at LeMoyne camp if you're still going. Tomorrow's the big day huh? Hope you have a good time. I'm hoping Noah will come away with some new skills and knowlege as well as a good feel for what campus life is like. Just spending time on a campus may help him discover what he's looking for in a college as he begins the all-important search for a college that's a good fit for him. It's his first ever camp--should be a good experience. Maybe we'll see you there.
Best Regards,

anyone have any updates on le moyne's situation? i hear they're staying d1, and have applied to different conferences. i don't which though, would they be good enough to be part time in the a-10? msybe the northeast 10 seems like a good baseball fit. if not i think they will stay d1 even if its means being an independent.
just wanted to correct myself the northeast conference not the northeast 10
