Lebanon has a CF that is a junior, Brent Morris. Not a better OF in7-AAA. Can pitch in the upper 80's. runs down balls that most let fall. Very strong bat. Hit 3 run balast off Brett Wilson in tournament. I read that he was named as a2008 UUnder Armor pre season all american. Ive seen him play several times and if his coach get him promoted,he could play at many big dI PROGRAMS.

I realize you proabley dont understand the process of recruiting but comments like this one are the number reason High school coaches get out of baseball early. His coach promoting him to big programs???? Do you not thnk UT VU TTU MtSU ETSU MEM APSU dont know who can play in their own state? D1 programs finished with 08s recruiting 6 weeks ago and are vigorusly workign on 09 and 10s right now. They know who can play. With that being said who should they be promoting them two and how would you suggest they go about it? Should they be calling GT UGA UFL Fsu USC texas right now when D1 in states are not calling. I realize you dont understand the process but the parents should be driving the PR bus for a player. Putting the player in camps and showcases in front of realistic potential future collegiate coaches. There are no secrets anymore. with summer ball, scout teams, perfect games, teamones nobody goes unnoticed, if you can play and have grades the D1 schools know who you are. High school coaches really only call on players later in the process when players dont have a colleigate home.( those are borderline guys and guys who blossomed late.......NOT D1 players). This is not a personal attack but I didnt feel that was a fair statement and wanted to help you understand the process.

if u notice it only ask the coach to write letter to a few colleges and that is to peferred colleges which means the player should still be proactive even in that process

Hands down, Ryan Casteel, Junior Catcher/Pitcher/Slugger for Bradley Central.

 

Commited to UT for 2009 season.

 

As the Bears enter region play next Monday vs Soddy-Daisy--

 

In the recent District 5-AAA tourney Ryan was 6 for 7 in 3 games when the opponent would pitch to him.

 

Through 35 games--.549 batting average(team record), 12 homers (3 short of team record), 60 rbi's (team record), 5 saves in relief (team record), 3-1 record as starter. Ryan is about 4th or 5th in the Bears pitching rotation.

Considering he was named a pre-season All American, someone has been promoting him and doing a very good job at it I might add.

Josh Brown of Cascade finished 11-0 I believe with an ERA below 1. I know he had at least two no-hitters and shared one more. Only plays at the 1A level, but those are still impressive numbers.

Juda Ackers Cookeville tremendous player plays all positions very good speed hits for average and power leader on and off the field .

No, some major d1 programs and their coaching staffs do not know all of the prospects in their home state. If someone does not tell them about a player they often do not know the player because they are too busy with their own teams to watch a ton of high school games. The best way to be seen is to play on a high profile summer league team and attend a few college camps.

Allow us to look at the landscape of baseball today for a moment. With the recent changes to the rosters and scholarship limitations, perhaps one could find solice in these facts. The NCAA gives DI programs 11.7 scholarshps, the rosters limitations are now in effect, and the awards are a minimum of 25% to each player.

 

For a state school costing $10,000 per year a 25% award would equate to $2,500 per year. A student working at $8.00 per hour would need to work roughly 312 hours or approximately 8 weeks to earn the same amount of money. Certainly, a student engaged in part time employment during the academic year and full time employement during the summer will go much farther in earning enough money to pay for an education.

 

The values utilized above are approximate, and do not in any form speak to anyone's passion and/or ability to play baseball. An education today is far more important than it was several years ago, and this education is affordable in many ways, shapes, fashions, and forms. A young man or woman choosing the correct college for academic reasons, choosing the correct curriculum for future professional reasons, and working dilligently, will afford himself or herself the opportunity to become successful leaders of society. If one chooses and has the ability to play a sport, then this is a huge bonus.
