Top player in Mississippi for 2013. Huge pickup and huge MLB prospect. Brother of former Dawg Tyler Moore.
Reid Humphreys SS from Northwest Rankin commits in baseball.

I talked about him some last week- I had no idea that he would commit this soon, but I'll certainly take it. He has pretty good size- I could see him playing third base, or the outfield at 6'2" or so right now, and he may grow to 6'3", but we'll see about that. He is also a very good pitcher- I thought he was Northwest Rankin's top guy last year and they had Cody Livingston who committed to USM this past year.
He also plays QB for Northwest Rankin.

with these kids committing as early as some of them are (even if they grew up in State families).
The thing about Cohen is everyone in the baseball world knows what he is like, and if you sign up to play for him you know what you are getting into. That appeals to some players, and some players it does not. Obviously, the ones it doesn't appeal to will simply go somewhere else.
But to your point, it shows that we are establishing good recruiting ties, and it shows that players are recognizing the progress that we're making. Not very many players want to play for a team that is rebuilding, obviously. Having three straight losing seasons hurt us in recruiting- I think we did pretty good considering that, and considering that we had an entirely new coaching staff. Cohen did recruit well at UK, but his classes didn't pick up until about his third or fourth year after UK started to win decent amount of games. But, that's to be expected of a program that was in our situation.
