Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 4701693, member: 3806"] We've already made some inroads in the last 10 years, but there's still this whole class of player in Connecticut that it feels like is going to pick an ACC school or Vanderbilt over us 95% of the time (Winkels being the chief outliers). Think Matt Scott at Stanford, Chad Knight at Duke, Jake Deleo at Georgia Tech, Langhorne who went to Vandy initially, etc. And yes, not only it, but I am talking a lot about Fairfield County, as all the above guys are from there. Those are the guys we're going to have a great shot at keeping in-state if we're able to give them power conference baseball, imo. Probably don't need to elaborate on this as we all here already know it, but Connecticut punches well above its weight when considering location and size, in terms of baseball talent. If we can keep even more of those players, and the best of those players, consistently at home... it's a dream scenario. [/QUOTE]
