Wow. Thanks. :thumb:

Maybe it was his stock guy? No one should have their cell on the court or on the field of play in any sport. A few years ago, I was at a baseball tournament (LL) and a coach had his cell on his side and even talked while one of his players was running to 1st. :irked: There's going to have to be a rule set in place.

I can understand why LCC is doing this. Still, they need to figure out a way for fans that want to watch both games to be able to do that, instead of paying twice.

And it doesn't help that the NCAA only allows 11.7 sholarships for DI programs. It's really irratating to know that Women's Rowing gets 20 scholly's. That's what these coaches have to work with.

Congrats to Kyle. :thumb: While I would like to see Cohen to go after more Kentucky kids, I know that college sports is like a business. You get the best "employees" you can to make that business successful. Not saying that Kentucky isn't a hotbed of talent. We have a lot of great young players. There's just so much more that goes into recruiting and choosing the best for your program.

Agreed. He's a great coach. We played his Summer team a couple of years ago. We beat them in a 1-0 game. Great, great game, BTW. Afterwards he came over and talked. He's class all the way. I believe Madison Central will be fine.

Here is a list of Kentucky HS baseball players that have commited to colleges for the 2008 season. And a list of commitments to UK for 2008. If any of these have changed, just post it and list where the player is going. Congrats to these young men. :thumb: Steven Bayko - Hickman County - Murray State Matt Bracken - Dunbar - Western Kentucky Patrick Cooper - Boyle Co.- Eastern Kentucky Rye Davis - Edmonson County - Western Kentucky Joseph Devine - Owensboro Catholic - Louisville Ross Hammonds - Warren East - Western Kentucky Nate Holland - Trinity - Louisville Neil Holland - Owensboro Catholic - Louisville Stewart James - Owensboro Cathlolic - Louisville Dean Kiekhefer - Oldham County - Louisville Jayson Langfels - Lafayette - Eastern Kentucky Trey Lenear - Owen Co.- Eastern Kentucky Justin Moore Boyd County Marshall Nathan Mutsch Bishop Brossart Xavier Zachary Noonan - Ballard KY - Murray State Tyler Oliver - Lexington Christian - Marshall Daniel Palombi - Lafayette - Evansville Ben Revere - Lexington Catholic - Georgia Jordan Root - Lexington Catholic - Eastern Kentucky Thomas Royse - Dunbar - Louisville Gabriel Shaw - Pad St. Mary - Louisville Trey Smith - South Laurel - Morehead State Rich Witten - Danville - Coastal Carolina Chris Wood -Paul Laurence Dunbar - Western Kentucky UK Commitments Chris Bisson - Beatrice-Desloges - Canada - SS Logan Darnell - Goodpasture Christian - TN - LHP NaVarro Hall - Kennesaw Mountain - GA - OF Michael Kaczmarek - Andrew - IL - LHP Dan Killian - Chippewa Hills - MI - C Ian Tomkins - Loyola Academy - IL - C

Hall played SS, 2nd, and 3rd last season.

Yes. And girlfriends to tell, "I'll see you after the season is done."

Definitely! He's as quick as a cat. He'll be an asset for sure. Bobby , Ryan Hall, and Matt Everage all have the speed to be able to steal bases for Knott. That's a big plus for the Patriots this season.

Oh, I know what you mean.

I believe Bobby is a senior. And he hasn't played since he was 12-13. But, the young man is an athlete. He's fast and learning quickly. He has been conditioning with the rest of the team since January. I'm sure he'll do great.:thumb:

Same here. Just basic fundamentals and some weightlifting.

Yea, I didn't mention that. Bobby Owens.

Teams can play 2 scrimmage games before the season starts. So, let's say 38 days. :thumb:

Great list Skarecrow. Let me add Ryan Hall to this list. He's been working the off season.

A little putty comes in handy just for these situations. :thumb:

I know. I was really looking forward to watching some drills outside. Smart pansies to you.

Knott has one, right now. I've been watching this kid during conditioning and he is very athletic. Be interesting to see how he does with hitting and fielding. He was one heck of a running back for the football team. I hope he sticks with it. He'll be a great assett to the team.

Inside today.

^Great read Strike! :thumb:

Does that mean the checks are in the mail?

Write two. :thumb:

A day early and a dollar short. I had a lapse in words. I was munching on some Hershey Kisses the wife gave me. Chocolate does me that way.

And thermals by the look of the forcast. I predict 60° weather ahead, hopefully. The boys will be inside tomorrow. They have no practice today because of the roads.
