Johnny Coy -- Current Shocker!!!

[SubGod22]

Post on Drake Nation board:

When I saw his brother literally run behind the WSU bench at the first time out and pull a kid that was a WSU fan out of the crowd to come sit with he and Johnny over by the Drake bench I about snapped. The whole glamore rock, Hollywwod ... drama Queen buelllshyte is not what Drake is about anyway. As a fan I'm not sure I want a 19 year old kid whose 33 year old brother does all his talking for him ... I have serious reservations as to whether I believe Johnny is a good fit for Drake.

At first I thought our little recruiter was at it again, but it wasn't.



Post on Drake Nation from rc20 in response:

The visit was great. The game was also a great one as well. Drake is a first class place and has MOSTLY first class fans. I do think it's a little ridiculous to make negative comments about Johnny or anyone else from our family based on who we sat with for a few minutes. To explain the situation: I coached WSU freshman Garrett Stutz last year in high school. I am still close to his family and we have mutual friends and I just don't see how it's a big deal to sit with a friend or family member from someone I coached in high school regardless if they are on the opposing team. I sat for 15 minutes with a "Stutz fan" who was never a Shocker fan until Garrett came to Wichita State. My friend never clapped for WSU, never said a negative thing about Drake and was only at the game to watch Garrett. After saying hi to Johnny and watching about 15 minutes of the first half with our family the "guy in question" went back to his seat. If Johnny comes to Drake and when they play Wichita next year and when I want to sit with a member of the Stutz family or a mutual friend of ours for a few minutes I guess you bulldog fans will have to just live with it.

That's interesting... rc20, if your brother decides to come to WSU, I don't care who you sit with and talk too...

As far as I'm concerned, you can even sit with the Korver family, as long as Johnny is playing for us!

:good:

Don't see why he AND his family would be at the Drake game around enrollment time unless he was leaning Drake...Hope I am wrong...This season is testing my optimistic nature

Well, it was a game between two of the teams that lead for his services.

They also went home after the game Sunday and I'm betting their admissions office wasn't open Sunday afternoon.

Maybe because DSM is only 2.5 hours from his home?

He better hurry up, the semester starts soon, and he has to enroll, and fil out a lot of forms.

If he is going into Baseball professionally, we are the best choice for him.

I believe he will decide tonight or at the latest tomorrow. Today we spent a lot of time contacting pro baseball scouts about their opinions. Please don't think Johnny is trying to get any extra pub from all this and drag it out. That is not what he is about. The main reason I have continued to post on this board and the Drake board is because I have been getting quite a few PM's asking what was going on. As of last night he was not 100% sure on what he should do. He gets no advantage for deciding any early than he has to. I am ready for him to decide as well and ready to get my life back to normal with my wife and two very young sons. Johnny knows he redshirts this year in basketball no matter where he goes so he needs to do whatever he needs to do in order to get this decison right. School starts Monday or Tuesday depending on where he goes. I believe he already has his application sent in to Drake and WSU. Once his mind is made up for sure he can get all the additional paperwork completed in a day or two.

I don't envy your brothers position.

But if he wants me to help sway his decision let me know :D

Speaking with baseball scouts? He must be leaning toward Drake. Why would he need to talk to scouts if he's heading to WSU? He's probably getting their feedback on his situation if he only plays summer ball, etc. Gene's track record speaks for itself...no need to inquire with scouts.

But hopefully all of the scouts say the best route would be to play baseball here to increase his draft status.

I don't think it means anything other than he's doing his due diligence.

To say I'm exicted is an understatement. :yahoo:

Will you let us know who he chooses when the decision is made, rc20?

[tropicalshox]

Thanks once again rc20.
