Arizona State

It's a great place to play, but a tough place. Pitchers are needed. Competition in the fall for spots in the spring is intense and there is a possibility of more guys showing up at the semester break.

"Amen" to Brother Jemaz' comments. If that's your choice, be prepared for an intensely competitive environment each semester you're there.

If I were you, I'd talk with some players, particularly those who have walked on from the JC ranks, before I made my decision.

Best of luck to you!

I can only attest to what jemaz and prepster said--be prepared to work for everything you get---there will always be a player breathing down your neck---you say you want to walk on--make sure Coach knows who you are before you get there so you do not get lost in the shuffle

ASU has 10 top 100 recruits coming from the class of 2007. They also see kids transfer out regularly. My impression is they get overstocked through the recruiting process as it is, leading some to transfer out for a better opportunity. If recruited players are struggling to get the playing time they were hoping for, I don't know how much hope could be held out by a walk-on. I suppose there are exceptions but you might want to compare their roster to their stat sheets the last few years and see how many guys play little if at all.

I know 2 guys that are starters there and they are studs.

Midlo:

You would be shocked to know how many of their guys are either walkons or have very, very little money. By the way, one of the transfers out of ASU is a very talented young player from Scottsdale names Willy Fox, who was supplanted by two even more talented players named Brett Wallace and Ike Davis. Fox, as I would imagine you know, is at Wake where he is doing pretty well (I think).

their recruiter is Turtle Thomas who is one of the best in the business as far as bringing in players... i would recommend just calling him up, and try to get him to see you
