Pfeiffer, St. Andrews and Northwest Shoals CC

My son was recruited by St Andrews and even went on an overnight visit. The Baseball facilities are very nice, the coaches were professional, spent three hours speaking to my son, myself and my wife. I was not impressed with the campus. They are really struggling to rebuild the baseball progam at St Andrews. In my opinioin, the coaches are committed to the rebuilding project. In the end my son received a better offer from a DII school in WV.

Thanks for the input 8menout! I think St. Andrews would be a good oppurtunity to walk in and pitch right away for the boy but, I'm concerned they wont be able to compete due to the rebuilding. No one likes playing for a losing club.

I think somewhere there's a thread on NW Shoals. My son received an offer from them several years ago and we visited. We left there with a very positive feeling for multiple reasons. Coach Langston is very involved in scheduling his students classes and making sure that the schedules will work for baseball as well as graduation requirements. That's important!! He's a very personable and approachable kinda guy. His wife was working a tournament when we were there and very supportive. Very nice facilities and field. I don't know if the housing has changed or not, but it left a little to be desired... rooms were like an abandoned hotel. Wonder if this may have been upgraded? This school is in a beautiful part of Alabama and lots for students to travel to.

I certainly recommend investigating. Also, bamabomber and Al McCormick on here can provide additional insight for you if you'd like to send them a PM.
