It has to be more than just a coincidence that Stoney Brook has more high draft picks than most major baseball powers.

Something just seems strange that this many really good baseball players would just all end up at a small div 1 school in Long(Correction) Island.

THought they were in New York?
Someone posted the size of the school earlier and it isn't that small, just the attendance of fans is.

Evidently Boston College & UConn have recruiters who suck at spotting talent.

Stony Brook is a flagship state university of New York with 25k students located 60 minutes outside Manhattan. We've only been division 1 for about 10 years and we've only just started to make serious investments in athletics, but I fully expect SBU to become a major player.

Their coach is a standup hard arse who works his players fair and hard. Parents love that shite.

"those guys" must be staying there instead of coming to Tulane these days. Tulane has been falling back on the diamond and this New York school is doing well now............hmmmm.

It's NY's state school... Not small by any means. With a showing like this they will keep a lot of in state talent.

school in Long Island. All the money folks live on Long Island. They have an attitude about that also.
They got their own swagger and a need to get to the Yankees.

Long Island is chock full of baseball players.

the earliest photo of me is with a small bat in my hand. I was two. I was on Long Island.

At the time I was there, there were two MLB teams on Long Island and another one in the city. 3 MLB teams within 30 miles.
Now there are two, one on Long Island, and one in the city.
People there are really into baseball.

Actually, nearly half the team are from out of state (mostly Penn and Conn, and a few Canadians). I presume they are the scholarship guys and the locals are most of the walk ons.

I would guess Stony Brook has a large enrollment than Alabama or Auburn

If Long Island was a state it would be larger in population than Arkansas,Mississippi
