Top 9 Online Resources for College Baseball: College Baseball Daily

Knowing first-hand the unbelievable amount of semi-relevant links about Mizzou Baseball that hits my in-box every day, there is no way any website could wrap their arms around everything that's published or posted about the entirety of college baseball. They are, however, gradually increasing their reach, posting about articles in the independent media.

"Due to the fact that I was hired in December and Coach Coryell didn’t get to campus until almost the end of January our recruiting class is heavily dominated by JUCO guys this year (23 players; 8 high school players and 15 JUCO). One freshman will compete for playing time if the season was starting right now."
