Ryle

Toepfert 2-3 HR, 2b, 2 rbi

McCabe 1-3 GS HR, 4 rbi 3 caught stealing

Zirkle 1-3 2b, 2 rbi

Yes, they made that change for this season and going forward as far as I can tell.

Ryle 7 Conner 5

Final

Gotta get there 1st....Boone swept Ryle in districts, Cooper swept Conner in dist...only top 2 go to regionals so Ryle has to beat Boone or Cooper to make it from what I can see.

1-2 0.67 Era 4 games, 9 hits, 2 earned runs, 27k's, 11 base on balls.

Starts vs Moeller (1 earned run), W. Clermont, Conner and Boone Cty (1 earned run).

Ryle led by Evan Webster with a CG, 2 hitter - 12 strike out effort for Raiders.

Ryle was to play Butler at 5pm.

Well pitched and defensive game for Ryle...just couldn't muster enough offense. Played very well overall for 1st game of the season.

Hunter must have earned a lot of college credits in high school if he already graduated. He would of been a sophomore this season. Awesome job if this is correct .

Ha Ha....I know he's not there this season but was last season...or at least had his photo taken in an Earlham Jersey.

Another Note: Marshall Rich (RYLE) is currently at Miami-Hamilton after leaving Cumberland.

Boone Co’s Trey Ganns was drafted out of NKU and is in the Boston organization and Jeff Purnell is at Morehead. Was a career ending injury the reason Rasior is still not playing? Heard he was out last season due to surgery and rehab . Also , Cooper had a couple of pitchers in the 2016 class listed as playing at the next level. One was Hunter Turner and their ace that year ( name?) was rumored to be headed to Florida Gulf Coast but never saw any local kids listed on roster.

Hunter Turner was last at Earlham College...I think he graduated last year.

He was there with Eric Elkus from Dixie and currently Ian Bach (Cov Cath) is at Earlham

Since it is raining and no games are being played I thought it would be interesting to get some updates on a few recent graduates....

Adavion Gulley from Holmes High School

6’3” Lefty

Won’t get any props because of the school he plays for but find me another guy who was top 12 in HR and top 25 in state in extra base hits and plays 20+ games on a field 320’ down the lines and 375 dead center.

Does he play summer baseball?

besides, everyone knows SK plays horrible the 1st half of the season anyway.....LOL.

What are you implying about multiple players from nky one is mine and he belongs there I sorry we don’t live in Louisville or Lexington

I think what he's saying is there are some players on this list that are not All State caliber, to which I agree...but more importantly there are numerous All State caliber players that aren't on this list and should be as they are obviously better than some on the list. It has nothing to do with Lex/Louisville...if you know baseball talent Gage Hughes, McGowan are elite D1 level players who are heads and shoulders above some on this list. I doubt he was taking a shot at your son.

But I would say, at least this season, there are 1 maybe 2 NKY schools with multiple (truly) All State level players and we all know who they are...but again, this is a "watch list" not a finalized "All State" award list.

The same parents might want their kids to shoot up steroids... . What ever gets you an edge... yikes.

If someone thinks that hasn't happened recently you just need to look at the size of the kids these days. It's funny, when I was growing up in the late 70's-early 80's I may have seen one, maybe 2 kids in my entire school under the age of 18 that could grow a full beard......it amazes me how many kids, both small and large, have that capability. I'm almost 50 and cannot grow as good of a beard as some of these kids today...lol.

A few years ago there was a discussion that some parents wanted to just go ahead and get their 1st TJ surgery out of the way during HS (almost like elective surgery) so it didn't come at an inconvenient time. Crazy discussion and ridiculously misplaced priorities, but reflects the perceived high likelihood of it happening anyway and the perceived routine nature of the surgery and how most kids come back from it.

If they knew the actual # of players that come back better than before surgery they wouldn't do it...all they hear about is the ML player who has the ability to take 365 days a year and do nothing but re-hab...what kids parents can dedicate to that schedule?..not many. And any so called Dr. providing that surgery as an elective should have his license taken away.

How does a sophomore need TJ surgery? How does that happen?

I was told by someone who scouted him that it appeared he fell in love with the curveball...and with him being so young it's not surprising that his elbow didn't hold up.

Cooper - B. Reid P

SK - Taylor, great hitter, solid def

GC - Spada, solid def SS/3B, 83-84 FB..could play at any school.

WV - Foley - D1 signee...nuff said.

Colby Haines - Ryle (if he comes back healthy)

Ryle - Burnett, Tarvin, McCabe, Conner Ryle

Evan Webster - Ryle LH pitcher in my opinion is one of the top pitchers in the area and should have a solid 2 years at Ryle. Has some D1 interest.

Weaver - Ryle

Looks to be starting SS for Varsity this season. Plays for ATY in summer.

I think there is a middle ground here. In your earlier posts, you were talking about "one way" commitments where a coach can't stop a kid from saying he has committed to School X. That's completely understandable and I doubt anyone on here would consider that a "D1 offer."

 

In the middle, there is the "unofficial offer" that is communicated by School X. While they don't have to follow through on it AND it can be subject to meeting clearing house and other requirements, most on here would consider that a "D1 Offer" if it is coming from School X. The reality is a coach is not going to get very far in recruiting if he's sending out a ton of these "unofficial offers" and then pulling them when it comes to signing time. Word gets around. If School X has provided an "unofficial offer," they are likely to keep it out there unless something major changes.

 

Finally, official offers are as has been described above.

I think we are on the same page...but I bet you'd be surprised how many "offers" to 8th, 9th and 10th graders are not there when it's time to sign on the dotted line at the end of the JR year. Go back and check how many "commitments" actually show up on current rosters...for many varying reasons I'm sure but some may be offers that were pulled.
