Thats old news.


That happened two full days ago.

I figured as much -- thanks for keeping me informed, friend. Has 11.5 committed?

Only thing he has committed too so far is his girlfriend for the rest of the summer.

Why would he do that? Is that non-binding if he wants out?

"Women weaken legs!!!"

Great quote from a great movie!

I saw Jordan play today in Houston at the Texas Scouts Association Workout at Minute Maid Park. The first pitch he saw in the game that was played ended up in the seats in LF. He then got 2 more line drive hits in his next 2 AB's. This kid's the real deal.

There was a ton of talent on the field today there in Houston.

Report is that Brandon Loy has committed to Texas. Brandon's Dad was the catcher for Texas during the '83 CWS,

OP-I didn't say anything but thought the same thing. You're our inside .

Congratulations to Boomer Collins from Waxahachie who has verbally committed to the University of Nebraska.

Great job Boomer. Great kid and great family.

Collins headed to Nebraska for baseball
TOMMY BROWN/Daily Light Sports Editor
Published: August 2, 2007
Waxahachie senior Boomer Collins loves playing football, but his dream has always been to be a professional baseball player. He hopes by committing to the University of Nebraska he is taking a step in that direction.

The senior also cites the Cornhuskers rich baseball tradition as reason for choosing Nebraska over the likes of Rice, Texas Tech, TCU, Arkansas and Richmond. "I've always wanted an opportunity to play in the Big 12," Collins said. "They've won the Big 12 four of the last six years and been in the regional and super regional in 11 of the last 13 years.

"The facilities are unreal and they have the third largest average attendance in the NCAA. It's kind of a one-horse town where if you can star at Nebraska you will be remembered forever."

Collins is excited about playing in the Big 12 and the occasional trips back to Texas, but he is ready for a chance to prove himself against the nation's top competition. "It was recently named the second best conference in the nation behind the ACC," he said. "I've always wanted to play against the top players in the nation and now I'll have that chance in college."

Collins, who is also the Indians' starting quarterback and safety on the football team, said making the decision before school starts will remove some pressure of having to worry about a scholarship.

"Everyone's goal is to get it out of the way quick," he said. "Getting a scholarship has been a burden for a long time and now I'm just relieved its over with. "Now I can relax and have fun."

Although he has committed to a Division I school, Collins said nothing will change about his approach to baseball or football.

"This isn't going to change the way I play or approach things," he said. "It still going to take everyone pulling at the wagon to get where we want to go." Collins was recruited as an athlete who will play in the outfield, infield and catcher.

Way to go Boomer!!! Enjoy the football games while you're there!! And all the 'Children of the Corn" said, GO BIG RED!!

Congrats to Boomer and all the Collins family. I thought it would be great for Boomer to go to Baylor so that they could have a Boomer (Collins) and a Beemer (Weems). Boomer spent a lot of time with us over the years and as good as he is as a player, he is a better young man.

Congratulations to Boomer Collins and his family.....

Congrats to Boomer Collins... a fine young man with a great work ethic. He will succeed in Huskerland.

Just curious, was that detailed comment on a 'one-horse town' smart on his part?
Congrats to him and his family.

It's just a meaningless quote from a kid -- cut him some slack. If you know Boomer, you know there was no negative intent.

Congratulations to Boomer and his family.

Another "win" for Coach Newman.
