john-i am trying to get a hold you.best to get a hold of me at my house up til roughly 10am.try my place vs. nan's first.
rz1...UIC is mentioned amoung the "others" in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association of America pre-season poll.
Been - My son is curious about UIC's program and future prospects. Seems like they've made a huge jump compared to 02 and 03 RPI'S. Do you think there a legit top 50 and have ability to stay there?? Thanks
Bill Casey who owns line drive in Chicago. His son mike attend's UIC.This year as a freshmen and told me he loves it. alway working out.
dennis...I have to tell you that I can't be objective about UIC because I've followed Mike Dee's career since he played for Benet Academy years ago; followed him into Wisconsin for his high school career; college; and, then high school coaching in Wisconsin and then to the University of Minnesota, where he was the pitching coach for many years.
I just like the guy. I don't know Sean, his assistant well, but based on what they've done and are doing, they will be fine. Just take a look at their stadium; what they've done there for the past few years; and, what is on the drawing boards. Breath-taking view of CHicago's skyline over centerfield at night/daytime! UIC just needs a few thousand dorm students and I would guess they'll have a football team. Probably do as well as the poor Illini.
UIC is a program on the rise.
They've picked up RZ's son (freshman)and now I see that Todd Schultz, of, is coming on board next year. Todd played on the UDC team and is a quality outfielder/hitter.
I'm looking forward to seeing a few more games this spring, as time permits.
Look for them to compete for their league title again and, hopefully, win a game or two in the regionals.
Definitely a program on the rise!

I believe UIC has Scott Stahoviak as a hitting instructor as well. Scott used to give lessons at 41 Sports up north, as well as Pro-Cut in Lake Villa. Awesome hitting instructor, who definitely helped my swing in the times I worked with him.
Griff,
Hello.
Anxious for the season to start?
Go get 'em.

JP-
Can't wait. It's been a bit cold for Atlanta this past week, but we're in full swing. First intersquads are Saturday and Sunday, and we open up on Valentine's Day against the #3 Team in DIII, Christopher Newport (Newport News, VA). I'm working hard, and controlling only those things I can control. I hoping for a decent amount of time this year, but with a senior catcher ahead of you, I probably will only get 5-10 starts in 45 games. Whatever I can get, I'll be thankful for.
Get in touch with my dad. I'm sure he'd love a hotdog and coke sometime... especially if it was on you! Say Hi to Ryan, and reiterate my congradulations on Princeton.

Griff, good luck at school, and in the upcoming baseball season. Keep us all posted on how you do, as well as your team.
