Out Of State Recuiting

I might be wrong but I think the ASU program refered to in Phoenixdad's post is Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. Because of the scholorship limitations imposed by the NCAA most instate state supported schools have to be successful recruiting in their home state and their rosters will therefore contain contain a mojority of in state players.

246 - I saw ASU and assumed it was Arizona State. I couldn't believe and out of state school could recruit 11 players from one state. Makes since to what your saying. I guess we should congratulate Appalachion on their in state recuiting class, Thanks 246.

Virtually no North Carolina players go to Arizona State. "ASU" in North Carolina means "Appalachian State."

Moreover, with something like 16 Division I baseball programs in North Carolina, alone; most players remain in state if they go DI.

I have noticed that over the years-- something to be said for the Youth/HS programs in NC --what happens in your state is very rare--the kids want to stay home

TR I believe it is because there are so many quality baseball school in NC at all levels D-1 D-2 D-3 JC Community College. And the in state tuition is so much cheaper than paying the out of state costs. We do loose some to USC Clemson Ga Tech but not many. So Carolina has had more sucess than others because Tanner coached at NC State and has some good contacts in NC.

Hope you NC guys don't mind me sneaking in here. My son signed with UNCG in November. There were two other schools in NC that showed alot of interest, that my son also liked. They talked to him, but were waiting for two other NC middle infielders to make a decision. Ultimately told him that they could sign these two NC players for what they would have to give him.

UNCG, as you can see signs quite a few out of state players in addition to some in-state kids. Asst. Coach Rodriguez is a former JUCO assistant from CA and recruits from all over. My son felt very comfortable with him and the fact that a number of players on thge roster were from places other than NC. He visited a school in GA and "didn't feel right" because all the players knew each other and he would have been the only out of state player.

Fortunately, things seem to have worked out, we have family near G-boro and he loves the area and people that he's met up there thus far.

Now we have to figure out how to buy that 2 bedroom condo in G-boro so we can get those in-state fees.

It's cheaper to get a higher SAT or CAT, that way Dad doesn't have to pay nothing.
