Unfortunately for Coach Butler he is Coach Rainbolt's prize bull. Still might not hurt to see if he can hit a D-1 curve ball.

I'm guessing Kord is Alex Trebek's least favorite Shocker.

2014 Recruiting Summary

1972 Shocker & whoever else has been keeping track of the incoming recruiting class, this is to let you know we missed two: The roster on Go Shockers has been updated with all of the names although bio's for the new players has not yet been added. I happened to check it today & found this to be the case. So, I compared the names on the roster to the 40 names I and others had tracked & made note of 2 or 3 weeks ago. From that, I found two more new names on the list: Bryce Colt, a LPH, 6-0, 185 lbs, from Owasso, OK & Zach Reding, a 6-2, 220 lb Jr, OF, who appears to be a transfer from Texas Tech, so he is listed as a redshirt jr as he will have to lay out a year.

That roster will of course be cut back to 35 by the start of the season. My guess is that at this point both Bryce and Zach are walk-ons. If they are on scholarship they have to be counted as one of the 35 roster spots even if they do not play. My guess is since Zach Reding will be dropped from the roster at the start of the season and then added back to the roster after the end of next season. He may even go on scholarship the following year, who knows. If Zach is receiving a baseball scholarship this year then he will take up a spot on the 35-man roster even if he can not play. We will eventually find out once the roster cuts are made.

This year will be an adventure.

This year will be an adventure.

I couldn't agree more. Very difficult to predict or handicap this coming season.

[RoyalShock]

Wow.

[Cdizzle]

I'll believe it when one of them hits a D1 curveball.

[WuShock16]

That is a great start!!!!!!!!!!!! Go stack one or two more top-flight recruiting classes on top of that, and you set yourself up to make noise in Omaha.

The goal is not to win now. The goal is to win from now on.
