Another DBAT player commits to Nebraska. Just heard it through the fields of corn that Kale Kiser has committed to play for Nebraska. Congrats to the Kiser family. I guess we can now get some work done at DBAT by Kirk.
anymore updates??
Just thought this piece of info might help some who might not know, or for future parents/kids. A kid can't receive a college offer until after he's taken the SAT... and I think maybe even registered with the clearinghouse(not sure). Now verbals and stuff, I don't know how that works... but I think that came up with BB last year.
i guess with the success of the few texas men nebraska already has, and the addition of Newman to the staff, we can't skip pulling kids out of The great state any more.Congrats to all new Huskers, there is no experience like it. enjoy

thanks. i did not realize that. son is taking one in october and is scheduled for an official visit soon.
DTiger, my son has already taken the ACT, but not the SAT. Will that suffice?
I would assume... can someone who's been through the process help out if it's ultimately the clearinghouse you must register for before receiving an offer. To completely register with the clearinghouse, you must send them an SAT or ACT... (I think).
You can receive offers without being registered with the Clearinghouse. Most kids that have made commitments are not officially "cleared" by the NCAA.
AHHH, so it's that you can't sign (literally) before being cleared?
I am under the impression you don't register witht he clearing house until your senior year officially starts. Is that correct?
You can do the initial registration during your junior year, Sandy. Then all that is left (if I'm remembering correctly) is to have SAT scores sent to the Clearinghouse, complete an "amateur certification" form in spring of your senior year, and have final (post-graduation) transcripts sent.
DT, you aren't officially cleared until after your final transcripts are sent in and processed. I have heard of some kids not being officially cleared unitl fall of their college freshman year.
Yeah... Jesuit pushes college all the time and I'm still not 100% on what I have to do. I'd say, go to the counselors... that's what I'm doing.
Texan- That makes sense, but isn't there a "level" of being cleared one must be or something so they can sign on the dotted line to receive a scholarship. I thought, not sure, this is why BB didn't commit until late... or one of the reasons. I know he had the offers.

You must have your high school transcripts sent to college before taking offical visit. Tests scores and Clearinghouse will come after you accept offer to attend particular college. It a good idea to have a copy of your transcript. College academic department will have to clear student for visit. Coach's are not going to waste money for visit if kid would not qualify.

may be getting an update on friday. son and us (parents) is scheduled for an official visit and a scholorship offer (per coach) friday a.m.....Can you say "GIG 'EM" possibly??? maybe???? hopefully???

I read on Houston 5A's message board that Nino Leyja (SS) of Houston Christian has verbally committed to Sam Houston State.
Was he once on the Houston Athletics?
Not sure -- in recent years, he has played for the Houston Heat.
Ahh, I think it's the same kid. I remember a Nino from the Houston Athletics when were 13... a stud indeed.
Yep, a good MIF who smacks the cr ap out of the ball.
Hamilton Wise has orally committed to Northwestern. Way to go Hammy!!!
Congratulations Hammy!

Congratulations to Liberty Christian 3B/RHP Carson Blair on his recent commitment to Tulane!
Here is a article on Blair from Inside Prep
Tulane Gets A Third Texas Commitment
Tulane has been on a roll in Texas lately, and it continued with the recent commitment of Denton Liberty 3B/RHP Carson Blair. Carson's pledge gives the Green Wave three Texans over the course of the last week and a half. He will join Houston-area standouts Ross Seaton (Second Baptist) and Jeremy Schaffer (Bellaire) in New Orleans next fall. Blair picked Tulane after considering Arkansas, TCU, Baylor and LSU.
I got a good look at Carson at the Texas Rangers Area Code Tryouts in Weatherford back in June, and he is a good-looking athlete. Strong, physical build at 6-1, 190. He showed good hands and a lot of arm strength during the infield workout, but he really stood out with his bat. Great hand speed and strength, consistently centered the ball and drove it to all parts of the ballpark.

Congratulations to Jeremy Narvaez (3B/P) from Corpus Christi Carroll who just committed to A&M-Corpus Christi.
Last spring, Jeremy led his high school team with a .457 average, 51 RBI's, 32 runs, 13 doubles, and 12 home runs. He also compiled a 10-4 record and 1.76 ERA and led his team to the Region IV-5A finals, an effort that earned him distinction as the District 27-5A MVP and Caller-Times 2007 All South Texas MVP.
Way to go, Jeremy!

There's a good thing there are no good party places in San Marcos...
Go Bobcats!
I will tell you there is still a couple of watering holes that are still there from mid 80'S. When I went to school there.
LHPDAD, congrats to your son! That is super news and I'm sure your entire family is celebrating right now! 
AWESOME-
