Vandy players:
Tennessee 11, Florida 8, Ohio 3, Georgia 2, Illinois 2, California 2, New York 2, New Jersey 2, Massachusetts 2, Texas 1, Canada 1, Washington 1, Michigan 1, Missouri 1, North Carolina 1. 9/40 went to Catholic high schools.

UM players:
Michigan 8, Wisconsin 7, California 6, Illinois 5, Indiana 2, Washington 2, Massachusetts 1, Maryland 1, Oregon 1, Georgia 1, Arizona 1. 11/35 went to Catholic high schools.

So UM is a "northern" roster and both teams have lots of players from the Midwest/Northeast traditional ND fanbase territory. And somebody tell the Wisconsin AD that not having a baseball team is helping UM.


Quick look at current ND roster

First thing to notice: only 3 seniors (and looking at bios, it would appear 2 still have eligibility - don't know if we give 5th years in baseball - but no grad students listed currently)

Quick look at ND roster:
New Jersey 6, Illinois 6, Florida 4, California 4, Missouri 3, Ohio 2, Iowa 1, Washington 1, Indiana 1, Oregon 1, Michigan 1, Georgia 1, Colorado 1, New York 1, Texas 1, Kentucky 1, Massachusetts 1
Other than Illinois, not much of a Midwest recruiting base

And from school names or those I recognize, looks like 14 out of 36 from Catholic HS (could be more)
