ahh, 

 

the annual we have too many kids being recognized thread

 

the retort will be that it waters down and deminishes the prestige

 

in a week no one will talk about it, but in 20 years the kid will be able to tell his kids that he made an all disrict team.  And if that helps continue to pique interest to youngsters for the greatest game in the world, then in the end its a good thing.

 

my .02 cents

Huge pickup for the Red Raiders

I think the staff at Tech had more of an impact than the differences in scheme

[quote] but at Texas Tech it was just all the coaches. I guess it's because they can relate to us. They're younger, you know what I mean? We share the same interests.[/quote]

i love the kids athleticism.  sparq of 106, impressive offer list. 

plus a recruiting win over Patterson is always a good thing

The amount of pressure that goes into this recruiting process is something you wouldn't understand unless you have been through it. Over months you build a relationship with coaches across the nation and when it comes down to a decision you're going to disappoint someone. All you can do is pray about it and ask God to lead you in the right direction. With that being said I am a proud papa and happy this ordeal is finally over.

Nice article. One point not addressed was the ability of the university to change the amount (%) of the scholarship year to year, as well as withdraw the scholarship completely.

Pretty Sure the Article did:

[quote]And once that player is in his freshman year of college, the pressure does not ease. Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis, meaning that each season becomes an audition to get tuition money for the following year.
Landry, who played at Texas Tech before coaching at Bridge City, said a mixture of grades, behavior and performance factor into whether a scholarship will be renewed, and be renewed at the same amount.
"My roommate (at Tech) Shaun Larkin, who was an All-American, got his scholarship taken away going into his senior year and he transferred. He had no leverage, the school has all the leverage," Landry said.

this topic is like a bigfoot sighting, you dont believe it until you see it.

hate to bust everyone's bubble, but full rides [b]do [/b]exist.

only the elite of elite get them. 

in fact it is possible to get more than 100% of your school paid for.

self-righteous bump

Again congrats!




Coach

jacoby franks had two catches in the Tech's season opener

if the kid lived in the domincan, venezuela, puerto rico, mexico, etc. there wouldn't be any question.

but i will say this, ask freddy adu how well it has turned out being the next big thing.

1.  I learned how to hit from my dad throwing whiffle balls in the front yard; sliders, knuckleballs, curveballs, screwballs, splitties, etc.   Over the powerlines was a homerun.  First base was the tree, second was the water meter, third was the expansion joint in the driveway, and home was the front porch. Sis was the catcher, she was a great foul ball getter.

2.  The worst part about juco baseball is the 15 hour bus rides; the best part about juco baseball is the 15 hour bus rides.

3.  I played in the best high school baseball game ever in this area 12 years ago.  Great players, great coaches, great fans, great memories.  We scored on a passed ball, otherwise i think the game could have went well into the night.

4.  Best player i ever played against was Albert Pujols.  You think he's good now? You should have seen him against Juco pitching.

5.  I've homered in 8 big 12 ballparks, 9 if you count the conference tourney in OKC.

smilies suck

Welcome to the wonderful world of coaching Mr. Riojas.

On your first day you have already had people congratulate you, wish you good luck, claim you are the wrong guy for the job, and even a future parent stroke your ego a little.

You are officialy off and running now.

Where did you play and when. Reason being I met Ryan Franklin @ Seminole St in 99 who had left there in 93, that same yr 99 saw John Lackey pitch in JUCO series. Don't mean to discredit your post just asking.

franklin played in the 'steak series' in 1998
