I really want to know how this happens). How does a player from a Catholic school in Chicago end up at Wake Forest University to play baseball.

(1) Are there not enough quality NC, SC, GA, FL, VA, and MD players to round out Wake's roster?

(2) Did Northwestern and Illinois and Michigan etc. all ignore this kid?

(3) How big is St. Ignatius and what were his numbers in HS and travel ball?

(4) Did he play travel ball in the Mid-Atlantic, or did Wake see him at a PG event, or did he attend a Wake camp?

(5) Why did he choose Wake over other schools (I am assuming he had options)?

Thanks for any help you can offer. I am trying to figure out recruiting, and when I see what appears to be something out of the ordinary, I am curious and want to know why and how it happened (like the NC 2011 who is already committed to LSU).

I knew several guys who went there. I don't think religion enters into it. My son's school was a strong Southern Baptist and he is non of the above.
