That can be a very wise decision. Since most of the kids that sign only get 27-43% tuition only. Use that savings to pay for school.

1) Why do you think the Canes are expensive?

2) Many kids don't do what you say simply because they want to play the best competition available. Most of the time this is with top tier teams. There are only a handful of kids that leave top teams to stay closer to home after earning and accepting an offer.

This thread has gone way off topic. Perhaps some people like drama.

I can 100% say that the Sims family has nothing but respect all the clubs that Michael has played for.

He used to play for a team. Then he decided to play for another team. It was a personal decision. It was not because of anything bad or dramatic with the prior team. It was not a financial decision or a decision based on already being signed or not.

I'm already looking forward to the next 2013 that signs so we can move on from this.

Just felt like this should be shared...To date, 62 (sixty two) kids who have worn the EvoShield Canes uniform in the 2013 class have signed with a Division I school. This is our biggest class yet. We are very proud of all of you. Now, the hard work starts.

Checked out that Alumni list last night and there were a couple of names missing which makes the 2013 class all the more impressive.

Congrats to some Midlothian Seniors continuing their baseball careers next year:

Del Fuller with his committment to VMI
Rawlings Cumbea with his committment to Roanoke

Go Trojans!

Congrats to both.

You can see Del Fuller here...
http://www.playinschool.com/swampthings/fuller.html

If you haven't seen Fuller, he is one of the best natural 1B in this class. Great footwork around bag and fantastic hands. Being a former MIF, I cant stress how much confidence that gives the rest of the IF.

Please forgive (or enjoy) the music that was coming from the P.A. I think that may have been Jock Jams Volume 1 circa 1995. It made for a great atmosphere that day, but a shock to the system when watching the film!
