2007 commits

Congratualtions to the players and the Illinois staff, keep'em coming....

does anyone know where matt gailey from fremd is going, or what offers he has recieved so far?? i remember playing against him while he was with mchenry county hurricanes and even in his days as a palatine traveler.... how about brad allen, what has he been offered so far??

Chalk another one up for the Big 10. Virginia/A-C Central LHP Eric Jokisch committed to Northwestern on Monday. He was ranked No. 16 overall in the last issue of PBR. Don't know where he stands in the latest issue.

bump...with signing a month away, I thought it would be nice to know of any other committments. PBR has a list, but I am sure there are others.

Aaron Conway 2b/of from Troy Triad to Missouri St. and I have heard Bo Kinder OF from Clinton verballed to UofI also.

Congratulations to Mick Doyle and his entire family. First Corky, then Pete and Casey and now, the shortstop from that great Priaire Gravel team. I'm sure Mr. Sorce is extremely proud and happy about what you've accomplished. The best is yet to come.

Good luck at Notre Dame.

Bruce and Jordan.

hey Mick, congrats on Nd. In addition to Sorce I am sure Steve Hayward is quite proud of your accomplishments after watching you work on your hitting last winter and spring and summer every sunday. It takes hard work, commitement and a dedicated coach to help get you there. Good Luck and heal quickly, listen to the therapist and keep working hard.

Chris Lashmet 3b from New Trier verbally committed to Northwestern.

I did not read anything in the paper's but I believe Montini's Shortstop Pete Capetta signed with Illinois, Congrat's on a fine baseball,football,and basketball player.

nl fan -
Yes, Pete signed with Illinois and last night Dain Hall signed with Villanova.

Congrats Dain

Dain Hall must be feeling pretty good. Signed with Villanova and he has been playing spectacular football. He recently set a Barrington record for most recieving yards in a game....something like 190 yards.

Doesn't get much better for a great kid (and a top-notch student).

Good luck to Dillon O'Neill cf from Benet, who is going to sign with Harvard to play baseball, in November.Also heard he scored a touchdown in football,and scored a goal in s****r in the same day.

Congrats Dillon...

Talked with coach Walsh in Florida last weekend and he was hoping this would happen.

Congrats to Mark Ahern, Pitcher (Homewood-Flossmoor High School) Last night signed a
National Letter of Intent to play for Coach Gordie Gillespie at St. Francis.

Going to be fun watching you pitch at Silver Cross Stadium.

Congrats to Mark Ahern, great kid from a great family.

I thought a player could not sign until the 8th of November? Is that not correct?

I think it's the first 10 day's of November.

It's not the 8th thru the 15th of November?

Brian Reigler Catcher from Downers South, will sign with Indiana ST. Next week. Great kid,hard worker,team leader. Congrat's!
