Thoughts on this school and program, nephew is getting some interest.

CD - saw your post on Lake Erie College, and thought you may have some thoughts on Mercyhurst.

Feel free to comment on some other strong D2 programs in the area.

thanks

Similar comments about the weather of course.

This is a lovely campus and again, a private school so I am guessing expensive like LEC. They have a decent baseball program that produces some pro players including one who played against my son in high school named Jaime Walszak and who is now with the Reds. They recruit here in the Cleveland suburban areas and have gotten some fine players from around here. They also seem good at placing their players in fine summer leagues like the Coastal Plains.

thanks CD!

Mercyhurst won the PSAC and went to ncaa tournament. Not bad.

My brother's nephew goes to the other private PSAC school- Gannon. (he got some generous non-athletic aid) He fancies himself a downeast Chesapeake Bay waterman, and loves the whole Lake Erie thing. He even did some ice sailing. He's also learned not to post his little trips to Cleveland on facebook.
