Anybody else headed to the Senior Fall Classic tomorrow?
My guy is looking forward to it. Been in communication with several schools -- mostly D3's but also one D1 and a couple of D2's. Unfortunately, he's still a little bit sore from the fastball he took on the wrist two weeks ago. But he's hoping adrenalin and advil will get him through the weekend.
Anyway, good luck to all!

Good luck to your son! My son wanted to attend, but football got in the way...

cool event so far. The thing that strikes me most, though, is that there are still this many really good players -- and mostly just from the West -- still uncommitted. I just ran across a stud we know from the Perfect Game circuit -- constantly rated a 9 by PG over many events, many top prospect lists, all tournament team in many elite tournaments, big strong, fast corner outfielder with pop. Still not committed -- though I'm thinking he must have offers lined up. He may be an extreme case, but lots of high level talent here, not yet committed. I'm somewhat surprised, but maybe shouldn't be. First time through this rat race.
But it just goes to show what a competitive rat race it is, trying to find a suitable place to play in college. The one up side is that there are still lots of schools out there looking for players to sign.

Son is there - wish I could be too but will have to be content with hearing reports.
Enjoy the experience
Son is there now, unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. Supposed to be pitching today and tomrw along with getting some 1B in. Said he's having a great time so far.
Keep us posted on your experience!
kid is being seriously hampered by the bone bruise he got from being hit in the wrist by a fastball two weeks ago. But he's still battling. Ah the things the scouts don't know.
Getting bits of information at a time. Having a blast. Enjoying the level of ball and great weather. Learning. Good contacts and feedback. Man wish I was there.

Is there a good place to read about results? I have two clients pitching in the event.

Anyone
Anyone else have a source?
I don't see them doing the PG tweet thing. Wish they did. I did a search on twitter and found some random stuff. There is a link on their site to the two BA articles.Pretty much it.

Son returned home today from the classic. Great hearing his stories. Loved the experience, the teammates, the challenge, the heat.
