Any thoughts on Siena (NY)? The usual: baseball program, coaching style, academics, etc.
Thanks in advance.

We have been fortunate to have a number of our kids end up at Siena over the past few years, two from our team signed early there this year.
Great gentlemen on the coaching staff, the academics are excellent and they are striving to be a winner in their conference, MAAC which is a tough one--Marist and Lemoyne are part of it.
Their spring trip includes UNC Charlotte,New Orleans, LA Lafayette, South Alabama and Tennessee--not too shabby
Not a bad place to be if you want to remain in the Northeast

Thanks for the insight, TR! Sounds good.
I used to live down the street (sort of) from Siena, which is very close to RPI. Another similar school (a bit tougher academically than Siena) that is also nearby is Union. All three have very nice settings and are highly regarded in the community. Don't know much about the sports programs anymore, but I would like to find out if only to satisfy my curiosity.

Siena has not done as well as I think they would like to do. They had won 5 out 6 conference championships before struggling as of late. I think they have done very well during the regular season but haven't put it together in the conference tournament. I know that Coach Rossi is a legend and has been there for about 35 years. He always schedules very tough and their overall record isn't necessarily a reflection of the quality of their team.
I got letters from Siena and Marist (with regard to PSAT scores (not baseball), I'm only a soph). I looked them up on Princeton Review and they were above average but not great academically. But is there baseball program good enough to consider them?
No I don't mean to come off as cocky, just inquisitive. Thanks.

Better question yet---do you think you are good enough to be considered by them?

I can tell you that the coaching staff at Siena are FIRST CLASS! My son was recruited by Siena as well as a number of other programs. As you know...finding a program and school that works for the student athlete is a very stressful thing...but I will tell you that the staff at Siena made my sons recruiting process a good one. Anytime, and I mean anytime.. my son had a question...or concern he would call and they were there to help.(always returned the call same day!) 
As a parent... I felt they were honest and very helpful! After many calls,clinics and college visits my son decided on Siena. I know they have a pretty good group of players that signed NLI for the class of 2008. I know we're looking forward to becoming a member of the Saint family.

I think I know who you are
I can tell you that we have a number of players there as well as entering this year and I have yet to hear a bad word from players or parents regarding the program and the school
And the coaching staff is one of the best to work with --they are all true gentleman

Yea, I'm a little ignorant as to the quality of baseball at different D1 schools. Prior to the letter I got I had never heard of them. Sorry :-/. BTW, this place sounds great.
