Hi everybody, I'm finishing up my junior year right now. I'm a good ball player but my grades aren't very good. Could you guys tell me some of the best JUCO's around the nation or some of the JUCO's that play good competition.
Thanks

Yavapai JC in Prescott, Arizona -- top notch team, beautiful surroundings, pretty girls.
.
CCSN - Community College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. Perenially challenges for a "national title", great weather, gets kids drafted and placed, great reputation from what I know.
Bunches of good ones in CA....Santa Rosa Junior College in the Sonoma wine country - won the state last year....Long Beach City...won the CA state this year and home to the son of poster kjktj....

I realize you arent looking at Oklahoma but we have 2 excellent Jucos here.
Connors State and Seminole
Some guys who have came from Seminole Include:
Julio Lugo- SS Tampa Bay
Eric Gagne- CL LAD
Ryan Franklin-SP Phillies
The list goes on but there are a few good players from here.

Louisburg College in Louisburg NC. Located just a few miles from Raleigh NC. Outstanding baseball program.
Chesapeake College made it to the World Series last season and Montgomery College has 2 or 3 campuses that have teams, one of which made the WS this season. Both are located in Maryland. The Maryland community college system has very good baseball.
terps - I agree with Coach May about Louisburg. It's almost always nationally ranked and has an assistant that is one of mine and my son's favorite coaches.
Also, the JUCO system in IL, TN, and AL all provide several strong schools. I think my personal favorite is TN. Has eleven schools I believe, with a couple of them making an excellent run at WS each year, with Walters State usually playing in WS, including this year. Also, the weather is the best of both worlds in TN. Good luck to you.

Anne Arundel used to have a great program -- not sure how it's going these days, though????
San Jacinto North, Houston, Tx.
Navarro JC, Corsicana Tx
Both have excellent programs, very well respected coaches, & a strong reputation for players being drafted.

Just want to chime in, as well, about Yavapai College in Prescott - they're playing in the JUCO World Series for the championship. We're so excited for them.

Spartanburg Methodist in SC is a very good school. Many Univ. South Carolina transfers. I also agree with Louisburg, NC and Curry in NC as well.
Also, if you have any intentions of transfering to Maryland you may want to ask their coaching staff for recommendations.
Go Terps!

Actually I'm looking everywhere, I would really love to go down south so I can play year round. Thanks alot guys!
And don't forget the entire state of Florida. Almost every county has a Div. I JUCO. Most of them are quite strong. Can recommend Manatee, St. Pete, Seminole, Indian River, Chipola, Pensacola -- just to name a few!
Go Roughriders!!! One more game tomorrow night.
Terps, if your grades aren't very good, then you may not stand a chance playing JUCO. Work on your grades, work on areas where you need help. Just because it is a junior college doesn't mean that the academics or the academic requirements are inferior to a 4 year university. You have to take college level classes, probably at least 4 of them a semester - and get passing grades - to be eligible to play JUCO baseball.
Prescott is nice. Yavapai is a good college. My kid graduated from there last year. But I know at least one pretty girl that left for Oklahoma

Walters State Community College in Morristown, TN has an excellent program. As a matter of fact they are playing in the JUCO championship game tonight.
GO Senators!!!

Blue Ridge CC plays in region X, with Louisburg, Surry and Spartanburg Methodist. You can check the results here BRCC results
BR Baseball is only a few years old and giving the conference a run for their money. They do not have a JV team.
Great location in Flat Rock, NC, about 30 mins south of Asheville (one of the greatest places on earth to live), 30 mins to Greenville, SC and a couple hours to Atlanta.
I believe lights will be on the field this fall, and stadium seating will be in place.
Go Bears!

Midland College in Texas is another good school...and I think there was a young man from Maryland there this year. Great facilities and the support staff are great. They ended up ranked 12th this year.
New coach coming in though......
And here's another mom reminding you to get serious about your grades this next year. You have to take at least 12 hours of college level classes to play baseball.....
