Verbal Commitments for 2005 Class

A couple more:

One of my favorites:
Keith Coward, Dillon HS (SC), RHP has signed to play with Erskine (SC).

From the Mountains again - Owen HS Strikes again !!!!
BJ Perry, Owen HS, C has signed to play with Erskine (SC).

 

commitment

It was up on App state's web site today. Frankie Lewis (Fuquay Varina High School), has committed with App State.

 

Dadgum...Coach Pollard has sure been aggressive. What a great group of players he's signed....I have to be careful about naming names because I always leave somebody out and then I catch the devil, but ASU has 4 of my favorites across the State---Wes Borden, David Rubenstein, Jason Rook and Frankie Lewis...wow...there are others they signed that are terrific, but I've seen these guys play often...and they are the real deal!!!

Congrats ASU!!!!!!!!

 

Central Cabarrus Star Signs

Congrats to Ryan Laboy from Central Cabarrus who has signed with High Point University. What a steal for High Point, which should have one of the best incoming baseball classes in 2006. Good luck to Ryan and the rest of the Laboy family. High Point will soon learn why this is truely one of the finest families North Carolina has to offer!

 

Perhaps...

Bando finally has gotten his act together instead of recruting all that mess up in the midwest! Plenty to win with here in this state! Ask Avent and Fox to name a few. If he would listen and watch HS ball here he would have known that long ago instead of being sorry since he took the job!

 

Eric Marion, infielder from Pinecrest High School, played with Impact this fall has also commited to High Point.

 

Ryan Ashley of Wilkes Central has commited to play for Methodist! We are very proud of Ryan and happy for his parent's Donna and Randy, for not only is Ryan a good ballplayer he's a good person!! Congradulations!!

 

I don't think that's quite the situation. Here are a few more of High Point's recruits.

Billy Aguillar, Sachem HS, NY (Catcher)
Jeff Cowen, Birchmount Park HS, Ontario, Canada (SS)
Dan Feldman, Glouster Catholic HS, NJ (RHP)
Nick Weglarz, Lakeshore Catholic HS, Ontario, Canada (1B)

Cowen, Feldman and Weglarz are all ranked in the top-500 of the nation by Baseball America.

In 2004, High Point had the #43 Recruiting Class in the Nation (Collegiate Baseball Newsletter). This year, it looks to be just as good, if not a little better. They may have picked up a couple of players from Florida, but they haven't posted their fall signings on their web site yet.
