Macalester College

I believe Kofi Annan went there....and maybe Mondale?. Coach was very interested in son, but we just weren't able to 'sell' interest in the cold climes of Minnesota. It's a great school, very diverse, very 'international' and 'cosmopolitan'....and yes, the Coach seemed like a really great guy. Very tough admissions.

There was thread two years ago, do a quick find in this section and it will appear.

Also, you may want to send a PM to "trob1948", his son will be a sophmore pitcher at Macalaster this year.

Good luck!!

Son is a sophomore and playing in New York, but was recruited by Coach Parrington. Son's high school teammate goes to Maclaester and was all-conference pitcher last season, James Murray. If you would like, let me know and I will get you in contact with parents.

COach Parrington has been recruiting my son. While we have decided on another school, he seems to be a very nice guy. I have heard all very good things about him. My neice's best firends parents are Macalester alum. It is a very good school. The drawback is the climate. But, the baseball program does play its first several games in the Metrodome and then they head off for the spring trip, so they don't have to deal with the early season bad weather. While we did not visit, they were in the final 4 schools.

The first coach that showed interest in our son was Coach Parrington. He seemed like a very nice guy from his emails and later was very honest and upfront when he found out that our son's grades were probably not good enough to get into Macalester.

Any updates on Macalester? Son being recruited now
