    Does anyone know his status as far as next year? The East Burke Senior is a big time talent. I saw him on the Showcase Circiut and have always been impressed. What schools? Is he a draft possibility?
    Anyone know anything?

    I hope he signs early so he plays legion ball next summer. Anyone know if he is looking at going for pitching or position? Or maybe go to a juco where he could do both?

    Played for The Heat for years. Taking the fall off. Has some opportunites but I should not comment. By either talking with him or Jason Harris you could answer your questions. I have seen him a few times. I was told he was upper 80's by people that were keeping track of it that day.

    JUCO?

    I do not know his academic scores or his school grades, but this kid can play baseball. I have watched him play against my son's teams over the past 6 years and he has always proven to be a player. He has great feet and seems to have a great glove and his arm speaks for itself. I have never seen his gun speeds but I would put him in the upper 80's. He will be a great find for some college. He has the body and the skills.

    Talked with his former coach at a legion game and he had nothing but compliments about Corey and his work habits. I watched him play Freedom in basketball and he is a player that doesn't draw attention to himself but does what it takes to win. He seems to be that way on the baseball field, not flashy but anyone that knows baseball can see he is a player. Hope I see alot more of him this summer at Shuey.
