I dunno why you used a question mark in your title... the end of the article says we have made an offer so clearly he is more than another potential recruit.

Sounds like the type of player we would love to see in shocker colors.Really love his size.

To me it sounds like a potentionally familiar situation. The young man gets drafted in the later rounds because of his strong intentions of playing college ball only to be offered 2nd or 3rd round money later. From now on, college teams will no longer know who is going to be wearing their colors, even players from the late rounds, until the signing day passes.

Potential Recruit

Where is Dickinson? The website above let me read it once & when I went back later to review it, it then required a password. This guy is definitely a top notch prospect and an infielder - a position WSU is looking for with the recent losses of Logan Watkins & Dusty Coleman to the ML's.

I never got to read it. At first the page wouldn't load and then later when it did it asked me to register.

The bottom of the website page says Dickinson, ND

Bingo!

Article says his best offers are from Arizona, Nebraska, Oregon and Wichita State.. Sounds like a talented kid with good intentions, then some MLB team will dangle $700,000 in front of him and he'll never set foot on a college campus. A SS with a good body and the ability to hit for power and average - he'll never be a Shocker.

What drives me nuts is that it seems like MLB teams are letting the colleges do all the initial legwork to identify these talented kids; that puts the kids get on the major programs' radar and then the MLB scouts start following them and just pick them off at will. The whole process sucks.

He's a 9.5 on Perfect Game, so he should be drafted pretty high.
