Good choice, because he doesn't strike me as a big-time D1 guy. He should fit in well there. Best of luck.

Jamestown is an excellent college also.

i dont think it matches up with iowa central or muscatine, colleges that get players drafted into the pros, a good nd school though haha if thats sayin much

Fargo North DH/P AJ Johnson will be walking-on to Bemidji State

There are a lot of considerations besides baseball when picking a college (education for example).  It might be easier getting noticed in Iowa, especially by D-Is, but if you are good enough, the pros will find you no matter where you go.  Good idea to get that degree.  Jamestown is an excellent college.

It is not like Iowa Central and Muscatine are heavily drafted every year. There are AT MOST 5 players drafted each year out of the ICCAC (Division I or DII). Usually around 2 and are players from Puerto Rico. It is not that big of a hot bed for players. The California JUCOs, thats a different story.

The education is the most important thing and finding the right fit for you and your family. If you are a good enough player the scouts will find you. College coaches in the area are in communication with the scouts enough as well as independent pro teams like Fargo to, at the worst, get them a tryout. A good tryout may not get them signed with that team but could get them signed with someone else that has a need for that position. The draft is funny. I know two guys who were told by scouts (one after their only national pre draft tryout camp, and one called by a scout the morning of day 2) that they WILL be drafted. The call never came. So just the idea that you MIGHT be drafted is not even close yet to being signed. Thats why the education is so important!

I heard that UND is going to drop their baseball program when they make the transfer to Division I..is this true?

Also, do you think if they do no drop their program, do you think they will be a legit DI-AA team or will they just get pounded...

NCC teams have never been threat nationally in Division II.  It will only get worse in Division I.  So far it is only speculation about UND dropping baseball.
