TBR Instant Classic: "I'm an athlete not a Scholar"

There are other routes. The JUCO route plays more games than the normal 4 year institution per year and the academic load is much easier.

It is designed for those students who just needed a little more time to get it together. Cost of these institutions can be as low as 1,000.00 per year and you see a great brand of baseball.

Athletically, it is just as demanding (running, practice, classes et al). Academically, it is easier (but not easy). You have to work hard there too.

Baseball is a cerebral game. You have to have thought your way threw situations BEFORE they occur so you can appear to have "reacted instinctively".

If you have that ability, you're smart enough for a JUCO. Wilkes CC has just started a BB program. If you look at the courses available, at lot of it is "trade related" and not a purely academic environment. The building trades are well represented in their cirriculum.

The 4 year college route is much tougher. You can ease it with the right major (but avoid basket-weaving - popular with football players in the 50's).
