> Wilson also had a fascinating conversation with Kerry Carpenter.
> Because Wilson is planning to play baseball at Jackson Community College, he asked Carpenter about playing at St. Johns River State College.
> “Dude, JUCO is, like, one of the best things that ever happened in my career,” Carpenter said.
> “Really?” Wilson asked.
> “I played on a really good travel team,” Carpenter said. “I was one of the worst players on my travel team. I had like, one Division I offer. We had guys going to Vandy, Florida, Tennessee, Clemson; and they went all to those big schools, and they never got playing time. I went to a JUCO and got hundreds of at-bats each year. I got a lot better those two years while they sat on the bench.”
