Looking at our OF options next year I'd say this kid can compete right away AND give us another power arm. He is currently looking to go play for the Houston Cougars but I would imagine that will change if we come knocking. We NEED a player like this for the OF and for the mound.

Looks like he signed with UNM out of HS, but left after he got arreseted in a Frat house brawl. I like it.

Ya know, one thing that seems to have slipped through the cracks is how BIG of a hit we took when Corey Dickerson went pro out of Meridian. He was one of those 50/50 guys for a while, but he'd be a huge addition to these last two teams.

With those numbers, I would imagine there is a decent chance he'll be getting paid to play starting this summer. What's his draft stock look like? Probably worth a flyer either way.

Does he have interest in us or are you just speculating? Huge hole to fill

with Renfro leaving. Even if some guys stay (Frazier, CT, Norris, Pirtle, Rea), we have some HUGE holes to fill. Next year could be a tough season.

Nope I just found him today. He's currently committed to the Houston Cougars but if we come calling he'd have to listen.
