very well for them. They have a whopping 11 or 12 Grad students on their roster. They make a very strong appeal to "come to Duke, we are elite academic institution" and get to play baseball in one of the two best leagues in the country. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that works well for them. They match their school to the grad level equivalency of the Ivy League. The Ivy League sends a lot of good players to major college ball now. Duke has four of those kids in their lineup. Including their best offensive player and their elite closer. There is tremendous maturity with those guys. But 11 or 12 Grad students is a lot. Ironically, the second baseman that hit the two homers last night is actually a VMI grad student. Duke supplements their baseball scholarship money with significant academic aid. Just the reality of things with them. And for guys looking for a grad degree from a place like Duke, that can be enticing. As far as VT goes, we have a lot going well. And we have grown a lot in the last few years. But like anything, getting to one level is a big step, but keeping at that level and even taking one more step takes some continual innovation and evaluation. I do anticipate we will be evaluating things moving forward (with respect to philosophy, program setup, etc.). Will be interesting to see how we look heading into the Fall. ** Edited by VTScoop at 5/22/2024, 1:35:47 PM
