He's definitely a first round pick for the all-name team

It's certainly a door opener with the ladies.

So .. how big of a threat is MLB, now that he is has 'blown up?' Sounds like JoMo is 'ok' with him playing both.

The 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end has put together a strong senior campaign for the East Central baseball team, which is 20-4 and set to play at Richland on Friday in Game 1 of a second-round series in the Class 4A playoffs.
With the bat in his hands, Cumbest is hitting .479 including eight homers and 30 RBIs.

As a pitcher, he has an 8-0 record, 0.56 ERA and two no-hitters. In 50 1/3 innings, he has 73 strikeouts and 12 walks.

Perhaps the IB should take a trip to watch him play/show him some love. Could help us for both sports. If nothing else, it might help keep-him-in-the-fold for football.

And if he really is good enough to be an SEC baseball recruit, having him on a football scholarship would really help our baseball program with regard to baseball scholarship limitations.

I see our current baseball staff putting in the work on the recruiting trail.***

I watched him hit two moonshots a couple of weeks ago and my first thought was that we’d lose him. He looked like an sec ball player.

This is why Cohen should have taken back over when he fired Cannazaro.... there has been zero recruiting activity.... the good news is no one really recruits a whole lot during High School baseball season.... travel ball is where it takes place.

Did he not play travel ball? All Tavel ball is wood bat.
