Danny Hall, head coach at Georgia Tech
"I think Wake Forest made a great choice in Rick Rembielak. They are getting a great coach who established Kent State as one of the premier programs in the Mid American Conference and the Midwest. He has had several high draft picks under his watch and he has done a great job in developing talent. Wake Forest is getting a great coach, a great person and a great family. I am extremely excited for him and his new opportunity."
Mike Gibbons, MLB scout of the New York Yankees
"Rick is one of the most respected coaches in all of college baseball by professional scouts. He is absolutely terrific. He is a tremendous coach and will do a wonderful job at Wake Forest."
Tom Shields, MLB scout of the St. Louis Cardinals
"Rick is a great coach. Wake Forest could not have hired a better person in the entire country. In my mind, he is the absolute best coach in all of America. He will get the most of his players. Every player that joins Rick's program gets better, both mentally and physically. His kids are in high-demand come draft time. We knew that when we drafted one of his players at Kent State that we would get a tremendous player that was ready for professional baseball."
Bob Mayer, MLB scout of the Cleveland Indians
"Rick's time was coming for an opportunity like this. He is a quality person and will be extremely successful at Wake Forest. For years, Rick has done a tremendous job of landing talent that might have escaped under the MLB and major Division I radar screen. He brings those kids and then turns them around in a couple years into MLB-ready talent. He is a first-class coach."
