Would you rank them over the other schools?
Why?
Does Tennessee develop enough players to have a second major college program in the state?
Compared to USC, Miami, UCI, how would you rank Vanderbilts ability to field a decent program right away?
I wouldn't necessarily rank them over the schools mentioned, but on a par. UCI doesn't generate that much interest in any sport so I don't think they would automatically be successful in softball, and I don't think USC's location is great for softball.
I think Vandy could recruit from all over the south and Midwest, not just in state, and I think they would take away a lot of recruits from the mid-majors in the region and probably snag a couple of 3, 4, and 5 star recruits from UT. It's a great school in a great city - one of the fastest growing areas of the country.
USCs location is in Southern California, how is that not a great location for softball?
Same with UCI, I'd bet that Orange County produces more D1 softball players every year than the entire state of Tennessee, probably more than Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Alabama combined. How is that not a great location for softball? Saying Southern California is not a good location for softball is like saying that Hawaii is not a good location for surfing
Yeah both UCI and USC are confusing. Each school has their focus and USC it is football or I mean was......
