I'm changing the forum name to 2007 now that school is here or almost here for most 2006 students.

Remember to "Please do not post commitments or any information that is not 1st hand knowledge". Early signing will be here before we know it. Good luck to all.

Should we post verbal commitments that we have first hand knowledge of? Or, should we just wait for November and the signing day?

Four of the boys who play summer ball with me have already verballed, and a couple more are considering offers. Should I wait to list those who've given their verbal?

catcherdad,
Verbal is fine if its 1st hand knowledge. I like for the player to tell the other schools that he was considering before I would post any information.

Congrats to your players!

Okay then....

Brent Hottman, C, Oak Ridge HS, Sacramento State

Thain Simon, RHP, Jesuit HS, Santa Clara University

Scotty Walker, LHP, Del Oro HS, University of California - Davis

Tyler Waldron, RHP, Golden Sierra HS, University of the Pacific

All are from the Sacramento area.

- Removed list of "probables" due to concern expressed by a member. As noted in the first post above, we should only post commitments about which we have first hand knowledge. Listing the schools which have been in contact with each player and then guessing which one he will end up at can be intriguing. But in some cases this information will be inaccurate, and also it can influence decisions of others in some cases. = =
