Any updated information about their program, etc. A history search of HSBBWS shows alot of good things posted in 2006-08. I'm clear on the "old south" military school scenario, really looking for updates on the baseball program and any academic insights. Anything more current would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Don't know anything about the school except what you wrote, but one of 2B's teammates on his travel team just committed to play there. He is a 2009 catcher.

Thanks 2BMom, I appreciate the reply! GED10DaD

They always field a very good team.

Fred Jordan is a very good coach and does a great job of targeted recruiting in spite of the difficulties that can come with convincing kids to come to a more structured military environment. The facility is first-rate, shared with the minor league team, and the Bulldogs are always very competitive in a solid Southern Conference. They also have a fair share of drafted players. It's in downtown Charleston, which is a great location. But you have to be sure you want the military environment. I've known a few players who loved the baseball program but weren't as sold on the school.

A few years ago they were ranked 30th in the Nation by one poll.

Re: The military environment---when my son was recruited by The Citadel a few years back they impressed upon him that it was not really 24/7 military such as the Point---I do not know if it is still the same

Thanks everybody!! GED10DaD

TR -- I believe the coaches do try to soft-sell the military aspect in order to convince kids to come. But it can be all-encompassing, especially for freshmen. Athletes may not have it quite as tough as the typical cadet, and if they survive the culture shock of the freshman year, they usually make it.
