2012 Commitments

OU is getting the Oquendo kid from Euless Trinity for 2012 Class

From Rockwall-Heath .....

Jake Thompson to TCU

Also, Jovan Hernandez has committed to Texas Tech per the PG website.

Another example of why underclassmen verbal commitments don't mean anything.

So any commitment prior to senior year can be rescinded?

Any commitment not bound by written contract can be rescinded.

And what is the earliest time an individual can sign?

for 2012's.... a player can sign a NLI between Nov 9, 2011, and Nov 16, 2011. The next opportunity to actually sign (as opposed to reaching a verbal agreement) is April 11, 2012.

For baseball (for 2012's), the early signing period is from November 9-16, 2011.

Congratulations to Jake and family. TCU is class from top to bottom. Great school, great coach, warmer as well.

Dane Evans 2012 Sanger High School, has verbally committed to Tulsa, for Football. It's a shame, they don't have a baseball program. Dane is one of those athlete's that could play both.

Since an oral commitment is not binding, why call it a commitment? Just say'in!

Perfect Game has a link on its website that lists the commits from Texas. May want to access that site to get a full appreciation of the kids from this area that have committed to schools. It is pretty impressive.

According to PG's "Top Uncommitted List" for 2012's, Jovan Hernandez is uncommitted. Last summer the PG website was showing he was commitment to Texas Tech.

Have his plans changed or is he still headed to Tech?

Blake Rogers, C Lewisville - Lyon College, Batesville, Arkansas

Jovan is a great kid and an incredible ball player. I believe that he was rated a 10 by PG. I suspect he is highly rated. He is also a good football player, although I am not sure he played this year. I am not sure what is going on with him and Texas Tech, except that I do believe they recently hired a new recruiting coordinator from Oklahoma. Things can change when a school changes coaches. When the recruiting coordinator left Oklahoma, I suspect that is why they lost three of their players who were ranked very highly by PG. They lost Fernellys Sanchez(PG rating 10) Nelson Rodriguez (PG rating 10) and Courteny Hawkins(PG rating 10). All three of these players probably will go in the first three rounds. Not saying that is the reason they left but you have to wonder.

Konner Kyser from Rowlett High School

Kyle Clausing LHP at Naaman Forest is committed to Seward County College.

Sam Parker, a 2012 catcher from Trinity Christian Academy, son of Delynn Parker and the late David Parker has committed to play baseball this fall at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sam's father, David, was actively involved in coaching youth baseball for many years in the Dallas area before he suddenly passed away while snow skiing in February 2011.

I think this quote about Sam from Donnie Watson, Sam's high school coach, sums it up best, "What he taught us all about love, kindness, humility, hurt, pain and never blinking in the face of loss is a great testimony to what he means to everyone that knows him! His best days are ahead of him, good grief! If you have not thanked him for being a great friend, classmate and teammate please make that happen! Sam is one in a million! He has a Great God that loves him and believes in him, too! Thanks for living your life as if today matters! Sam you are especially my hero!"

Congratulations to Sam and to his mom, Delynn. You have both been a great example of perseverance, strength, humility, and patience while letting the plan for Sam's baseball future unfold in God's time. Congratulations Sam!!!

Congrats to Sam and his family! Good Luck!

Congrats to Sam! Great deal. Couldn't happen to a nicer kid.
