I will be really surprised if this is true. I attended alot of games these past 2 years
[/quote]why would you be suprised have you heard some other schools he is interested in.

Dont know of any other schools hes looking at although no doubt he will go somewhere. He's an outstanding young man and a heck of an "all around athlete", just have a hard time believing hes UT material. Not trying to downgrade the kid, like I said hes a great kid and athlete.

He did verbally commit to UT.  He has visited several D1 schools in Texas this fall.  He had a fantastic summer including being selected All-American at Perfect Game World Wood Bat National Tournament.  There were well over 100 teams there and his team finished in the top 4.  He can swing it!

Congrats to Kaleb!!!! I hope this doesn't make him want to lay off football next year and concentrate on baseball :(
[/quote]If I were his parents I would ask him not to play. Lots of time recruiters ask you not to play other sports besides like track or powerlifting, non-impact sports. If he really did commit to UT for baseball then he's elite good. Most time you only have about [b]10-15 full scholarship players on a baseball team[/b] and most of those are pitchers. The other kids went to A&M because UT and Guirrido didn't offer, those programs are on two different levels. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Denny plays second so that means he could have just as well gotten drafted and went to the minors depending on the signing bonus offered. No way I would let him risk a torn acl for something that doesn't matter after next year.

I have no data currently but I would be surprised if a college team had that many full scholarship baseball players.......not saying you are wrong, it is just hard to believe
[/quote]You're right, most of the time it's about 10 max. A lot of times baseball scholarships pay everything besides room/board and a meal plan. Those aren't "full" scholarships but they would only require the parents to pay about 2k a semester to supplement the rest of the scholarship and this is what the majority of baseball players on the team will have. Most of the full scholarship guys are pitchers anyway though, going to be interesting to see if he can make it to the big leagues and stay unlike our big league Crosby product who set the Astros single game rbi record but can't seem to bat over .200 for any extended periods of time. [b]Got somebody to [/b] [b]follow from Barbers Hill besides a golfer now. [/b] [/quote]

Actually, you have had several BH baseballers to follow the last few years. Hales, Thamm, Silva, Barrera,Townley,Henscey, Burditt, Presnall, Padgett(two of them), Campbell.  Got a roundballer at Tx State, Ybarra.
D1 has 11.7 scholarships a year, max. No full rides in baseball unless you get academic. best I've heard recently (two BH pitchers, mine included, 70-72%). Most include a meal plan. Top tier gets a per semester stipend check to use as wanted. If you are paying room/board,food, elec, cable, you are shelling out way more than 2K a semester. that's not counting any spending money.

I would be very surprised if Denny did not play football next year.
He's a high school starting varsity QB. (lot of "fringe" benefits with that)  ;)
