Dustin Cook from Huffman has a chance to be drafted also.

Just saw that Nick Williams (G Ball) has committed to ATM (switched from UT). He will be drafted, but has indicated he wants to go to college first.

On a side note, UT seems to have "lost" more commits than usual this year. Almost lost C J Hinojosa to the Ags too. Augie better right that ship quick.

No wonder UT is "down". They recruit too many guys that will never make it to campus. Kind of a double edged sword.

I have a feeling the luxury auto industry is about to get a "boost". ;D

[b]Texas Sun Devils[/b] Stryker Trahan and Ty Hensley also go in the first round.

Ole Miss just lost 3 recruits too.

Texas Sun Devils???    :D

Ferguson Sports Foundation "select" team out of Beaumont. They have a lot of local players, as well as some of the top out of state guys.

I was really just joking.  The out of state players on the Sun Devils do bring scouts and attention to the local kids on the team.

Out of the 4 Texas Sun Devils drafted in the 1st round, 2 were from Louisiana and 2 from Oklahoma which are both close to Texas.  ;D

Add Ole Miss Outfielder TANNER MATHIS...
#817 by the Houston Astros

So proud of this young man, can flat out play, hit, and field, and think the Astros will move forward and display the kids tool to steal bases for Ole Miss doesnt run much under Coach B so he didnt display it much.
Wish the Rockies would have popped him, but will get the priveldge of seeing him more now with so many Astro affiliates within driving distance.
Congrats TMat...

Will he take the slot $$ or roll the dice for 3 three years at TAMU? I say take the money and get on with it. If he gets buried in Rob Childress dog house this could be his only chance.

A college degree from A&M is worth more than anything they will offer him.
