Thanks.  Interesting numbers.  In terms of looking in the rear-view mirror, these numbers are not very surprising.  Certainly, UVA is the most successful and most well known.  What I find interesting is that each of the three more successful program (UVA, SU and CNU) each has a HC that has been there 10+ years.  If I'm a potential recruit or parent of a recruit that goes a long way with me.

On the flip side, I think there are a handful of programs that are certainly on the future upswing in the Commonwealth including W&M, Liberty and others.  I think JMU is going to turn it around in the next couple years.

Two programs that have unlimited potential but just can't seem to figure it out in those 10 years are GMU and Virginia Tech.  GMU needs some investment and more support from the administration to grow their footprint in Northern Virginia.  If they can upgrade their facilities they'll have a shot at recruiting the many, many NoVA kids.  VT just needs a new approach....whatever they are doing, it ain't working.  I hear the weather is the excuse VT can't recruit top baseball talent...bullsh*t.    

I think GMU's program is on the rise.  As FFXFireman has mentioned, there is a lot of work being done on the GMU field.  Coach Tag & Coach Pugh have been getting out to showcases / events and are starting to do a really good job at recruiting. As mentioned there is a ton of talent in NoVA & in the Richmond area (as well as across the state).  Not sure if there is a stigma of staying in NoVA for college though.  When I grew up there, Mason was viewed as a commuter school - at least among my friends.  Most of us wanted to go to JMU, VT, out of state or to a school that had football.  We wanted to get away from "home".  Perhaps this is still the case?

If the team stays healthy this year they should be fielding a good squad.  Last year there were quite a few upperclassman injuries which led to mostly freshman on the field.  Hopefully with the experience and depth, they will do well.

I would also point out that in the last 10 years, GMU has a .500 record (2 or 3 ties too) and HAS BEEN TO THE REGIONALS (2014).  There is a lot of work to be done, but I believe they are heading in the right direction.

This info is irrelevant because they all play different competition.

Wow...Happy New Year -- aren't you the ray of sunshine.

I think most people understand they play different competition and take that into consideration.  When looked at in the right context the info is relevant.  For me it is nice to get some visibility on just how well UVA has done in a tough ACC.  Even closer to home is how Shenandoah University has faired only to see Randolph Macon making a significant push in the ODAC (and frankly in the country); which by the way is a highly competitive conference.

Irrelevant?  I don't think it is; just a matter of perspective.

How is it irrelevant? You can't compare  win results among all divisions in the same breathe.

Thats my opinion and I am stickin to it!

Interesting list, especially with the DIII schools.  

However, I kind of saw the list the way TPM did.  Is it a list of the best programs?  Most successful programs?  Hard to compare programs at different levels.  A regional appearance at DI is different than a regional appearance at DIII.  

Seems like there should be separate lists for DI and DIII. Otherwise some might see it as colleges like Shenandoah, Christopher Newport, Bridgewater, are better programs than schools like Liberty and other DIs.

Success at DIII is great, success at DI is great, they are just different.  Anyway it is interesting looking at a list of the most successful DIII programs.  One thing for sure... The list sure does show what a great job Brian O'Connor has done at the very highest level of college baseball.
