College Players from Illinois

Why only Division I ? Are you an elitist/

Also the cool way is to list the players alphbetically---keeps you out of trouble

Not only D1, St. Xavier is NAIA

And of course I'm an elitist (that means really tall, right?)

There's two from Columbia, IL playing at Eastern Illinois but I cannot think of their names at the moment.

I thought Webb was going to Kentucky?.

The Dunn kid from Marion plays the game the right way. SIU got a really good player in Andrew Dunn.

soxnole


you passed the test !!--that was a soxnole spelling test-

CPLZ did not mind my post why should you ?---I just thought all the kids should be mentioned

There are two Daniel Webb's. The Daniel Webb going to Kentucky is from Kentucky. The other Daniel Webb went to Missouri St. out of HS then transferred to Logan and is now at the U of I. He is from AJ HS. The same one as Lucas Hileman. Andrew Dunn is very good. He is a groundball throwing machine.

Congrats to CPLZ's son Kirk. In the current BA, they have made their 2008 predictions for each conference. In the Patriot League, Kirk Porter has been selected as the "best newcomer" in the conference, pitching for Army.

I told him that pre-season polls are similar to when I write fishing articles for magazines...I've never had a bad day fishing at my computer and everyone's a world champ in the preseason.

It's great that he's been noticed, and Rosy, thanks for you noticing too. Hopefully it translates into a good year for Army and him.

Sounds like Kirk is going to have a few guys fishing!!

Full Steam ahead....
