Boomer...What about the kid from OPRF who supposedly was "offered" something at the Florida State camp after his sophomore year?
Forgot his name.

Beenthere and Boomer - Ruairi O'Connor is the player you're refering to. I would be willing to bet a good deal of money that he'll be first team all state this year. The kid's legit. And yes, he did enter into a "gentleman's agreement" with Florida State.
Thanks, keep.
What is he going to do if everyone keeps walking him?

Huskie Power - I love our team bro, but that's probably a little biased, eh? That's ok though.
Beenthere - I would imagine he won't get walked too much this year because OPRF overall has a solid lineup that will knock in a lot of runs. Next year I can definitely see teams pitching around him, but even if they do, he runs a 6.8 60 so he should be able to turn walks into doubles relatively easy. Man I miss high school baseball so much. College ball is not the same.

Keep...Are you an Ivy Leaguer?
Those who coach in the northwest suburbs will choose Andy Diein, P, R/R from Prairie Ridge. His an '05.
I agree, Andy played on Norwood this summer, he was about the 7th best pitcher, behind Brooks,(MSU) Sonen '04, Wolfe '04, Mandele '04, Steinsdorfer(Ivy league) and Ebert, another real good '05.
With a much improved team at CG, Don't be surprised to see Sonen lead the state in Wins and K's.

I love this website and the local flavor offered by these forums. However when reading posts in this forum I'm often left wondering if kids on the Lake Michigan side of the loop formed by I-294 around the city even play baseball. You must all admit that this forum has a very decidedly south and west suburban bent. Maybe they just don't have computers up north to respond.
midwestmom,
i just think that this is the only place that places besides the north actually gets mentioned because once spring comes around all the papers talk about is the north's teams and seem to always forget that the west and south produces the better teams always. sica west by itself should have at least 3 of the top ten teams in the state every year but usually get one team mentioned maybe.

MidWestMom.....
The northern suburbs, i.e., Lake Forest, Highland Park, Winnetka, Northbrook, etc., etc., maybe are more focused on football, baseketball, s****r, lacrosse, swimming, tennis, volleyball, etc. Who knows!!!!
I not counting the Schuamburgs, Crystal Lakes, Batavias, etc., etc. They always seem to contribute to these boards. Maybe the lake-front communities are all partying.

Midwestmom...They are wwwaaayyy too busy counting money and getting ready for the Ivy Leagues.
Lots of talented kids up North in Wilmette, Winnetka, Highland Park, Lake Forest. Even the school that had that unfortunate hazing incident has plenty of talented athletes.
They just haven't found this site.

can't leave out bobby stephens.as good as anyone as far as high end potential.
stevens is certainly one of the top players in the area, as a junior. certainly is a 5-tool player.
