A local DFW kid that went to a high academic private high school (and was not recruited by any big name program) was accepted at Duke and last week went to the open tryout there. This kid was a really good HS hitter (against private school pitching) but runs funny and throws funny. He just doesn't pass the eye test with most coaches and he isn't very good in the field. I thought there was no chance in hell that he would make the squad at Duke. But he did! So, good for the coaches at Duke for looking at what the kid can do instead of how he looks doing it. Goes to show that once in a while there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
