Kung Wu can you make this a sticky thread. You can probably unstick the Class of 2023 recruiting thread.

Done and done.

Quite a few highlights on his twitter account: https://x.com/nic_tolbert23

Certainly some interesting raw material to work with it would appear.

Done and donner (doner?) Not sure how Ted spells it.

Woah that’s a high level swing

A slightly built 5-10, 165 lb lefthanded hitting middle infielder out of Lawrence. The last slightly built middle infielder I remember the Shocks getting out of Lawrence turned out pretty good and he was only about 130 lbs when he arrived at Wichita State. Although I expect Ben to be closer to 175-180 by he time he shows up to Wichita State.

Graves recently represented Kansas at the #PBFG24 and is currently the No. 15 prospect in the KS class.

Big kid. 6-3, 225 and not yet 17 as per Prep Baseball - Kansas

I see him as a first baseman in college.

Another Big One (size wise): 6'7 | 220lbs | RH Pitcher | Bixby ,OK | junior | 2026 | 4.0 GPA | 92mph FB

Not a very big sample, only 21.1 innings but here are Cooper's high school stats from his sophomore year in 23-24:

Not bad, especially for a youngster that is still growing into his body.

Here is a short video of him in action:

I don't understand why he's in the '26 class? Graduated HS in '23, Juco 23-24 and 24-25 (I guess?) so why won't he be here next fall 25-26? Unless we're now calling classes by the spring when they play (which I don't think we've ever done in the past).

Yes. He should be here next fall so he should be in the Class of 2025.

Eagle - Son of Royals legend Mike Sweeney, a 2026 recruit, commits to Wichita State baseball

Why '26 if he's already in college? are we stashing him at a JUCO for another year?

[SubGod22]

I thought 26 sounded odd, but that's what Taylor had.
