Hey Bludevil, I've been away from the boards for a long time but am still checking in. I graduated and coached at Eckerd with Bill Mathews 11 years ago, and also coached at Trinity University in the SCAC, where we played against Rhodes, Centre, and recently Birmingham Southern. All of the schools you have listed are excellent academic schools (don't know much about BSC since they joined the SCAC after I left). Rhodes has made some incredible improvements over the past 7 years. Centre is EXTREMELY rural, Rollins' student body resembles that of a prestigious private high school while their baseball team resembles a mid-level D1 program. Eckerd's location is flawless on the waters of the Gulf, while the baseball team is consistently .500 due to lack of available scholarships versus other SSC schools such as UTampa and Florida Southern. The Florida schools listed are D2, with the others being D3 (still not sure what BSC's status is, there's been quite a bit of change there with going to D3 and then the changes in SCAC allegiance. Worth looking into...)
Any way you go, you'll get good college baseball (top-level at Rollins), great academic experiences, and a fantastic education. You're in a position where it may just come down to feel and finances as these schools can be somewhat pricey. If that's not an issue, visit each campus, stay overnight, spend time with the coach and teams, and discover which one "feels" right. There is likely not a wrong decision in ANY of these schools. Feel free to PM me if you want any additional information!
