Ocean Lakes 2011 Killian Strenn???

We were under the impression that Strenn had committed to the Dolphins of the College of Albemarle, and would be joining his teammate Casey Bryant (Catcher) there....

Check out our Class of 2011 commitment listing!

He's very good, as is Alex Lambert and others, who knows what colleges are looking for? as a parent who went thru the process, who knows? geez, why are rising juniors making commonwealth games? Coaches kids? I thought it was for rising seniors. just don't understand, all I know is that we have the best players in the country here in the 757 area with the best coaches and NO ONE is staying local, hope the NEW ODU coach stops this trend. Do I know Killian?no, but Ive seen him play and he's good.

Thanks, I'm scratching my head, just trying to figure it out.

We are trying to help him right now with hopes of having a couple few more options.

One school has expressed interest already on Saturday after an e-mail went out Friday night at around midnight. They lost a middle infield who decided to go elsewhere just recently.

What do you mean no one is staying local? For ODU in 2010-2011, almost half of the roster was from the 757 area code. I feel certain those players don’t feel they are “no one.”

I know ODU has alot of good local talent, I was hoping ODU could land 2 or 3 BLUE CHIPPERS each year, impact guys, I would love to see a Nick Thompson, TJ Costen, Shawn Merimundo, Jack Wyncoop, and others stay local, thats all, Just wondering how many of these guys and others ever got a letter from ODU, I hope the new coaching staff can change this.

I've met Coach Finwood and trust me, he will change that. He took the program at Western Kentucky from a barely finishing at .500 team to being a perenial power in the Sun Belt Conference. He had kids who getting drafted in high school, but deciding to come to Western Kentucky. He just recently produced a supplemental first-round draft pick in OF Kes Carter. Pilots81, one of the main reasons the kids you've mentioned are going to ECU and USC is because of facilities. Coach Finwood has made it clear that he wants to improve the facilities at ODU. Last year there was a lot done to upgrade the BUD and athletic director Wood Selig still has more things he wants to get done.

Cody Cox transferred to thoman nelson community college

Good Call ohdyou, you're right about the facilities, hope they can build an indoor batting facility, I wasn't trying to not say there wasn't good local talent at ODU, just hoping to see more pick ODU then other places

Strenn is on the different websites, even the OL site as committing to Norbie. Guess he could change his mind, just have to wonder if he knows he's looking for another spot.

And just for the record weasle(pilot 81) you have no idea what you are trying to say!
