OBN - Where is NCTC and what is a dual signing? Thanks.

Congrats to the PE signees.

Redhead: NCTC is North Central Texas College and is a Junior College.

Nice to see someone going to Eastern Michigan. They are starting to build a program up there in Ypsilanti.

Redhead,

Dual signing means this kid has signed with a D1 program (Tech) and a Jr. College. If he goes to the D1 program, he has to wait until he's 21 or after his Jr. year to be drafted again. If he goes to the Jr. College, he can be drafted each year. It will depend on where he's drafted this June as to which school he ends up going to. If he's a pretty high draft pick, he may want to go to the JC, get a little better and then get drafted again next year. He can't do that if he goes to Tech.

You may already know this, but I just thought I would put this on here for those that don't know this.

Congratulations to all of these young men. Glad to hear that the Farhat kid is going to ASU. I'll be sure to tell lil' MMWS they are getting a good one.

Congratulations to Flower Mounds Nick Popescu on signing with Mississippi State. Quite an achievement by a great young ballplayer that has worked as hard as anyone I have known. Good luck though the playoffs and we're excited to have you in the Wildcat family. See you in the summer

CONGRATS to Nick and to his mom, a regular poster on here as well.

Congratulations Nick, good choice. Great game last last night against Coppell.

Looking forward to watching you on the Wildcats this summer.


Great job Josh Reed and Clayton Farhat at Plano East.

As a product of Central Michigan University, I wish he had gone a little further northwest of Ypsilanti to play ball. But congrats - always good when the MAC can snare a ballplayer from Texas.

FM players signings....Popescu to Mississippi State and I understand Pharr to Weatherford. And my favorite but NOT for baseball is FM RF, Mike Stephens to Colombia Univerisrty for football!!!

NCTC is in Gainesville, TX

Hillcrest High School
Joseph Paylor - Rice
Chaz Smith - NE Okla.
If you have never seen Joseph play, you truly missed one of the most exciting players to ever come thru the DFW area. Fastest kid I have ever seen play baseball (4.3 in 40) who covers centerfield like a gazelle. We will truly miss him next year.

Congratulations to Joseph! I have not seen him play but have heard nice things about him...I am glad to see him get an opportunity at Rice - great school!

Congrats to Chaz as well!

CONGRATS TO MIKE STEPHENS of FM, son of Catchallmom.

He is as talented at baseball as he is at football and soon he will be off to Columbia to play football and at the same time receive an amazing education at an Ivy League school.

Well deserved and I know his family is very PROUD of all he has accomplished and will continue to accomplish!

What about the Draft For Joseph Paylor and his crazy athleticism?

My bet is on Paylor getting drafted but not high enough to stray away from a Rice education/baseball program and all the opportunities...I hope he does well, and yes he was fast, and I hope to see him one day and get to say I struck him out

Congrats to all signees.

If JOseph was my kid, I would highly recommend he forego pros at least for a couple of years. Coach Graham is a great teacher from what I've heard and Joseph could use the maturation and education.
We are so very proud of what Joseph has accomplished.

I wanted to put out a good word for a GREAT kid that I have known since he was a toddler. His uncle Bubba Jackson was my catcher in HS @ McKinney and went on to play at A&M & TCU and then several years in the minor leagues with the Texas Rangers. I am referring to Jake Luce, who is the starting CF for the Allen Eagles. Jake has a love for the game of baseball like you don't see too often. I think he will be a very successful player some day at the D1 level, but for now he has accepted an offer he couldn't turn down from Blinn Junior College in Brenham.

Jake is a very special kid to me and I want to wish him the very best next year and in the future. Blinn stole a player that will make a huge impact from day one.

Way to go Jake and congratulations to his parents, some of the greatest people on earth, Joe and Jill.

Congrats to Jake and his family

Congrats to all the signees. They are now part of a small group.

Congrats to Jake, my son had the pleasue of playing with Jake last summer and there isn't a kid out there that plays the game any harder than Jake does.

Absolutely okay! This is a great accomplishment. Congrats to all the signees!

Not self promotion at all, cu. Congrats to your son. From everything I have heard, he should get an outstanding education to go along with his baseball experience.

Way to go Scooter....

Congrats Scooter on your signing, Austin College is having a great year this year in baseball, OUTSTANDING choice. Best of luck to you!
