They got new coaching a couple years back. The campus is under construction but has some nice buildings. Field and facilities are ok, a lot of concrete.
Should be an up and coming low to mid D-1 program.

UNF is a solid program in a good baseball conference (A-Sun). Coach Smoke Laval is in his first year with the team. Laval formerly was the head coach at LSU and took that team to two CWS appearances. UNF competes strongly with in-state powerhouses FSU and Florida having beaten each team within the past two seasons.
Having spoken with a couple of the players, they have enjoyed playing for Smoke so far.

Agree wholeheartedly.
However, to say that UNF "competes strongly" with FSU and Florida is a bit of a stretch. Whatever wins UNF has had over either school have come during mid-week games. What often happens in those cases is that a UNF will use a weekend pitcher, while an FSU or Florida will save its weekend pitchers for the following weekend.
