Wake academic and admissions policies are hurting Baseball recruiting big time. The academic stance that JuCo credits don't count is the really big killer. Many good baseball players who are also good enough students to qualify for Wake out of HS go the JuCo route because of the Major league baseball draft eligibility schedule: after HS graduation, after JuCo graduation (2 years), after Junior year in four year college after college graduation. Many guys want the extra draft shot they get by going JuCo after HS. Also, two years of Wake tuition etc. on partial scholarship is a lot cheaper than four.
Does anybody know if Vandy and other similar schools accept JuCo credits as acceptable toward graduation?
ETA:
I knew someone who was a JuCo grad with a 4.0. He graduated from Wake with a 3.9. He then went to Med School at Bowman Gray (Wake), and was in medical practice for many years. Today he would never take one class at Wake because his JuCo credits wouldn't be any good.
