And for hja who was starting to talk about the Dixie boys in the Matt Isler thread I decided to start a thread about this. Congrats to all these young men and keep the strong Thomas More tradition going.

Brad Popham chose TMC over Transylvania University(D3) and Miami(Oh) Hamilton University

 

Corbin Dematteo chose TMC over St. Catharine University(NAIA) and Miami(Oh) Hamilton University

 

Tyler Sexton chose TMC over Morehead State(D1) and Lincoln Memorial University(D2) and Cumberland University(NAIA)

 

I'm really happy for all these young men to extend their playing careers and more importantly staying together as friends and team mates. Best of luck to their futures and bring home another PAC championship and a World Series ring.

Congrats to all of these guys on outstanding high school careers at Dixie along with the opportunity to continue playing at the next level.

 

I'm sure the Saints will be very happy to have all 3 of them join their team. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

Are you saying all 3 of those offered scholarship money yet he chose TMC?

Well I dont know if they offered scholarship money but I would assume so since they have that opportunity. Kids do that all the time. Take Sam Ligget for example, he was offered by NKU and Coastal Caroline and yet he chose Transy for his own reasons. Its just wherever you feel like home is. And I'm also certain this decision had alot to do with playing time down the road.

That is incorrect.

Wrong, no money was offer. and sam was never offer any money by Coastal.

Sportfans99 you are so wrong about Sam it is funny. Talk to Sam and his Mom and Dad alot. And Morehead offer Sexton money LOL.

Kids and parents make college choices based on their own personal criteria and what works best for them. Many kids these days are infatuated with the D1 euphoria only to find out it's not what it's cracked up to be and end up transfering out to smaller schools. I'm sure Sexton will have the ability to both pitch and swing the bat over at TMC....sounds like a good choice.

Just to be clear, my comments were made after Coop's and your comments about these players. With Sexton's performance this year I was thinking more in line with Morehead and was surprised with his talent that TMC is where he chose to go but as you said, it has to be a good fit wherever you go and playing time is important. TMC is a very nice place to play and are doing well in their conference. I wish them all the best.

I think TMC is a great spot for all 3 of them.

That is just the information I was told by another local high school coach. He told me that Coastal offered Sam.

How can you be so sure they didnt?

Marley is correct.

Yep, he is.
