Good mid-major conference usually ranking 5th or 6th in RPI, but has been down the last year or two. Usually sends two-three teams to Regionals. USA is adjusting to a new coaching system after the retirement of Steve Kitrell after around 25 years. Nice ballpark, but they could use some covered seating in May. The team is well-supported by a loyal fanbase.
Our family did attend a game there last Spring...great environment to watch baseball. My son was very impressed with their pitching coach (Bob Keller) and, of course, HC Calvi has a great history with South Carolina. Very nice campus and facilities. Coach Keller did explain that the football program is currently financially supporting baseball and other programs at the university.
Son would have gone there in a heartbeat, but they have to want you as bad as you want them.
It's a program on the rise, projected by Collegiate Baseball Magazine to finish 2nd in the Sunbelt this year.

Anyone have anything to update/add about USA?
Only that the Sun Belt Conference is much better than described in the earlier posts from this thread in 2013. Right now I would say its top 5 in the nation and better than Big10 top to bottom.
