It will be a tough transition, but I think that we will be middle of the pack over the next few seasons.  Nice to know that the conference can get multiple bids, however!

And that was supposedly a down year for the Valley in baseball. Could we be even a three bid conference?

They have in the past, but that usually included Wichita State, when they were good.

Just FYI, Mount Carmel High School is on the south side of Chicago between 64th & 65th and Blackstone & Dorchester. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7787554,-87.5895041,3a,75y,180h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sYLXHXqSqbDszEaiY8XVgjg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

The Kapers, new recruit, Jake, and his brother, Scott, who is already a junior catcher for VU and also went to Mt Carmel, live in Schererville, Indiana, part of the region.
