Only reason I can think why a recruit wouldn't choose Vandy is if they wanted to go to one of the California baseball schools.
Opinions?

They are the National Champs, so I'd say so.
He hadn't been offered by any California schools. They don't need to go out of state for quality players. His offers are from Tennessee, Middle Tennessee St, Lipscomb, Tallahassee St., Duke, Florida International, Oklahoma St., Southern Mississippi, and Walters St.
About the only California school I've ever noticed that spends much time recruiting out of state is Stanford. They've stolen their share Nebraska kids over the years.
Of those offers, Vandy seems a no-brainer to me. A full ride Vanderbilt edumacation for playing baseball and having scouts in the stands for every game?
I will say that one of the things that recruits pay special attention to that has seemed to have been glossed over are the actual facilities. Vandy's are pretty good, but some of the top tier programs have some amazing facilities. The baseball facilities are basically where the players live when they are not in the classroom or on the field.
Totally agree they are on the same level as these other schools you listed. I would consider Vandy as a premier program, but not THE premier program.Vanderbilt has played exceptionally well over the past 5 seasons, but I would say they are on the same level as the following programs: North Carolina, Texas, Oregon St, South Carolina, UCLA, Virginia.
I'm going to have to say no if the rest of the product you're putting out there is similar to "El Taco" aka Pedro Alvarez... What an embarrassment to you guys. He's terrible.
How is he an embarrassment? He's a first-round draft pick who's been in the big leagues for 5 seasons and made $10,000,000 already.
Should be a 100 million $ talent but instead can't throw a ball to 1st base. Magically placed on the bereavement list today... pretty sure it's to mourn the loss of his job & mind.
