    Morgan might be the best all around player/person I have watched in the last few years. His on the field presence just makes him stand out. Not only does he have all the tools, he conducts himself on and off the field in a way that must make his coaches and family proud. His leadership skills are always clearly evident. And, man, does he perform at the plate, in the field and on the bump. SWEET SWING!!!
    We hate to see him go East but the Pirates are definitely D-1 contenders year in and year out.

    Good luck Kirk :winkiss::win kiss:winkiss:

    Early commits earlier and earlier?

    It seems like colleges (and players) are committing earlier every year. I believe this young man just finished his sophomore year. I would love to hear some knowledgeable folks' take on this. Perhaps include what are the advantages for the college, the player and maybe, even the parents. And is this a trend we can expect to continue? I have a 9 year old son....:feedback::feedback:
