Reno is a nice town. 40 minutes from High Sierra and Lake Tahoe. Facilities at UNR have improved incredibly in last 5 years, due to large contribution from gambling taxes. Good baseball, tough head coach... you should speak with an alum or two.
Reno is high elevation baseball... pitcher un-friendly. Weather is constantly changing... lots of freeze thaw. Balls fly out of their park, just like in SLC, Colorado Springs, Las Cruces, Albuquerque. Very dry climate... high desert, but very beautiful environ.

Any recent info regarding UNR Wolfpack Baseball? Any effects of having the Triple A Affiliate of Diamondbacks over there?
Wow, how'd this old post get dredged up?!
Perfect use of the search button!
If you like to go yard, this is one of your top places for homerun hitters.
If you are a pitcher, if you are a fly ball pitcher, you are going to have some challenges.

How competitive is the program and how is it for development of players? Is there any reciprocity regarding tuition fees between Arizona and NEvada? Thanks
Nevada is one of the better teams in the WAC. As has been previously mentioned, it is a hitter's park. Articificial turf, great fans (unless you're the visiting team), lots of adult fun to have at the casinos once the games are over. Head Coach is very 'old school' not for everyone. Good pitching coach/recruiting coordinator (Coach Stolte).
They develop players, and have a number of former alums who are playing professionally. Chad Qualls and Lyle Overbay come to mind, but there are quite a few more. I don't know about tuitiion reciprocity with Arizona students, but they do have some benefit for students who come from California counties that border Nevada.
If you like a medium sized town in the high desert, it can be a great place to attend college and play baseball.

With their move to the Mountain West Conference in 2013, How would it impact their level of play? Coach Powers is now going on his 29th year of coaching and wondering how would this impact his coaching future as well.
It will also mean more games with in-state rivals UNLV.
I am echoing the post of ccmj42 ( Today's post on UNLV 8/18/2011)regarding the state dropping some academic programs.
