Virginia 2004 Commitments

Brett Walker - Pitcher, Cox H.S., Va. Beach to VCU

Aaron Hurwitz, RHP, Norfolk Academy - College of William & Mary

redbird,

Is William & Mary looking at Hurwitz as a pitcher or an infielder? I hear he's a very good 3rd baseman.

Brad Stephenson, Catcher, Great Bridge HS - East Carolina

Kyle Byler, Shortstop, Hickory HS - Kansas State

Robert Poutier, RHP, Grafton High School - UVA

Redbird, I would agree with VaDad. Aaron also has very good stick. When he was at Perfect Game he was a positional player, and not a pitcher.

I think you will be surprised and pleased at the players from the NE coming in

TRhit

trhit,

the more good players coming in the better for all the teams both in competition and in rankings. I hope some are going to William & Mary and the other CAA schools.

Tres Wolfford, catcher, Notre Dame Academy has committed to play for Liberty University.

Sorry, I should have said:

Hurwitz - IF/RHP

Skip -

You have a personal PM.

CONGRATULATIONS TO Tres on his committment to Liberty.. Liberty is getting themselves a great ballplayer and an even better young man. Another Hillcat/Oriolander success story

Skip,

Congratulations to Tres and family. It has been exciting to watch him progress along with the others from the Culpeper area.

Tres is a fine young man as well as a fine ballplayer.

Congrats to Alex Di Dio a right handed pitcher from North Stafford High School. He commited to VMI!!!!

Congrats To Alex and his parents! VMI's getting a good one! Alex just remember to stay out of the barrack and close to your...... you know the rest!

I talked to Johnathan Spears (Salem HS VA Beach) and he said he will making a committment with Radford any day now...also, whats the word on Randy Buffington? Where is he going?

I hope Buffington finds someone to help him with his mechanics. He could probably add 3-5 mph by tightening up his delivery.

BigSkip...

Great news to hear Tres will be attending Liberty. Coach Royer landed a good young man and excellent ballplayer with a "gun arm".

Tres will have a great time when he plays some of his old HS classmates at Coastal... Donnie Pressley and Grant Flowers.

I can see it now, Donnie will hit one to the gap and get on first. (Ist inning)

Grant will lay a bunt down and with blazing speed, he's safe at first. (3rd inning)

NOW... here's the big question - Is Tres going to let either of these players steal a base on him as the Liberty catcher... stay tuned folks!

The game is May 14-16 at Liberty University's home field.

Hint: I don't think either runner will make it! lol

Skip, please tell Tres we send our best wishes and will stop in for a game next season.



Learning day by day on the hsbbweb...

Congrats to Tres, and to Big Skip, and to all the other parents that can now exhale, if their son is done! Breathe folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. to Big Skip-it's been a long road since Ft. Myers and Perfect Game. Liberty will be a much shorter drive. Nice job!

William & Mary.
This may be the only Valley District early sign this year. The recruiting for 2004 players in Virginia seems light.
