Baseball is a different animal recruiting wise, but we're going to have to expand outside of the CC/JCCC portal sooner than later.

Baseball is a different animal recruiting wise, but we're going to have to expand outside of the CC/JCCC portal sooner than later.

By my count based on this thread we had 16 commits (excluding the 2 players who decommitted) in the Class of 2024.

9 of the players have announced as signing. None of the announced singings are from CC/JCCC.
Brock Lulewicz
Parker Morris
Hunter Carlson
Melvin Blocker
Carson Beaver
Zeb Henry
Gradin Traschner
Michael Russell
Nate Langbehn

The 7 unsigned commits include:
Blake Neiss
Gavin Blachowicz
J.D. Dermody
Jordan Black (JCCC)
Nico Rodriguez
Tuckker Russell
Karsen Richard (CC)

Whether or not any of the unsigned commits will eventually sign remains to be seen. Possible some of these are walk-ons.

There's a few on the current roster as well. I think 4. And another announcement this morning. And you're correct, several I'm certain are walk on status. And I'm not complaining about from where we get our players.....just concerned that it's possible we get too comfortable with knowns, if that makes any sense.

Another Crowder College commitment:

Freshman year stats at Crowder College:
24.2 IP, 1.82 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 37 K to 14 BB, 13.5 K/9 Innings. Opponent's Batting Average = .144

Looks like Arnold was initially committed to and signed by Arkansas:

Arnold apparently never made it to Arkansas, or if he did it was for only 1 semester. BTW, Arkansas had 10 Juco players on their 2022-23 roster inlcudiing 3 from Crowder (not including Arnold) and 1 from JCCC.
