University of Cincinnati baseball

sending you a DM

My son has a friend (2014) who was a freshman there last year.  Loves everything about it....the city, the program, coaches, facilities, etc.  He's a RHP....just had TJ so will miss next year, but I've never heard him say one bad thing about his first year experience there

NOT sure why I put this in a DM versus here. Nothing that anyone couldn't see. So here is what I wrote:

My son was recruited by them and would have been a freshman there last year. His team (Wright State), also, played them 3-4 times as they are within 50 miles of each other (mid week games). In fact my son pitched against them twice.

I think Coach Neal basically started over. Lots of freshman as you said. I do remember he has a "profile" of what kind of pitchers he is looking for and the one that stood out to us is tall. 6'3" and above. It will be interesting to see how the program develops over next few years. I would see how many of those 20 freshman are coming back this year. I think they have all the makings of a team that could be on the rise

As far as facilities. Really Really nice. Brand new less than a year old turf field. Sits kind of down so that top of stands is level with surrounding area. It is right on campus. Not great parking but there is a parking garage next door which you have to pay for.  

UC itself is in the inner city. Not to far off campus is pretty rough. That being said, I don't hear of any real issues with that, kids just quickly learn/ are told where they should not go. I know lots of kids that go there or have. In fact my son's GF goes there and loves it.

I researched it quite a bit for 2 of my son's academically and for what they were interested in (business and education) good programs. I know their Architecture and music programs are nationally renowned. Great School in general.
