    I haven't read anything on the anglers lately, are they still a top team? I have read about most of these teams but never seen them play; sounds like I need to get to woodstock.

    Beating a given team on a given day does not make a program a "good program". It just means they were a better team that day. There are multiple measures of a good program and the best score well on most of those measurements

    Define "TOP Prgogram"

    I realize that winning a game is a nice reward for your efforts but I would have thought the main purpose of these showcase teams is to help their players find the right college so that they can continue to play baseball and pursue a degree.

    Which programs have the best track record for placing players in colleges? Those are the ones that should be ranked.

    If that's the criteria, then I'm pretty sure it's the Dirtbags...

    Since 2002-

    75 Alumni drafted
    291 Alumni baseball scholarships
    of those
    249 D1 signees with 116 with ACC/SEC programs

    Without a doubt, no other showcase organization in NC can compare with the Dirtbags organization.

    Others?

    I don't know the numbers but I feel like the SC Panthers and the Canes have to be the next two. Then maybe the Cubs and O's would be the next two (in terms of sending players to college).

    ENOUGH with the "My dog is bigger than your dog stuff!" "My Dad can beat your Dad up in a fight", "My Mom has a nicer er uh......well you get my point.
