At his age, 86 - 88 is fine.  And, if he's got movement, and a second pitch...He'll do fine.

Congratulations to Jacob, surely he had more to pick from than Lamar huh? I understand it's close to home and stuff, but with his build and velocity I would think he would have had more offers.

Lamar made the 1st.,Offer after that not many really tried
Especially the JUCO, he really liked the campus, the offer was more than he expected, he is happy with, he'll be close to home that is best part.

I actually helped recruit Jacob for the Houston Heat...It is my understanding that this is where he really wanted to go and the "deal" was done early.
I think it's a good choice for him and look for him to be very successful.
Best of luck, Jacob.  The Cardinals are getting a quality pitcher and a fine young man.

I'm delighted to see LU grab these local players.

The myth of an athletic baseball scholarship.  This is a pretty informative thread from a few years ago.  Definitely recommended reading for anyone with kids that are getting recruited.

Think about that kid signing with Rice, Baylor or any other private university. Even at 70% a parent will pay around $15k per semester.

Like someone said earlier. Take care of your grades. Academic scholarships are more valuable and can offset any athletic scholarship limitations.
