I saw that Zak signed. Perhaps you could provide some details. I haven't heard from our friend TZ lately but would imagine you're a pretty darn proud dad these days!

Beezer, been tied up with football for awhile. Now we are into wrestling with younger one. Very true on being excited. I just can't beleive how quick it has all been. I've always heard that " wait and see how fast it goes" and I never truely beleived it but holy **** it's here already. You always read stories on how so and so made it to college or the bigs and you sorta sit and dream on how cool it would be if jr did it. Until it actually happens it kinda comes up and smacks you in the side of the head. Zak picked NC state over some other schools for allot of reasons but the coaches where a huge part. We did the normal things like checking on the classes of players to see who might be leaving and or graduating. The school itself is very nice. A little more spread out but allot to do. Short trip from the airport is also nice. Very tight group with baseball, they all stay together and seams like they really egt along with each other. Jr. talks to them quite abit through e-mails and the facebook. Would have loved for him to found a closer school but it all will work out. He wanted to be in warmer weather, who can blame him. Hope you and your family had a happy X-Mas and have a safe new year.

Ruste - great stuff - congrats to Zak

Huge opportunity for him!

Your son is truly going to enjoy playing for Coach Avent--My son played for him at New Mexico State---he is not only a great baseball guy but also a great gentleman

CD, thanks. Tr, the first thing I noticed is how much of a players coach he and coach Holliday are. The short time we where their was quite impressive. We really got a good vibe with everyone there. Coach Avent was beyond personable and down to earth. With speaking to allot of coaches this past summer NC State set themselves apart from the others. We are planning to head to Maryland to see them this spring.

Thanks for checking in! Mind if I post the NC State story?

Feel free, I always enjoy reading links on young ones from our region.

Meant to post this a while ago:

NC State recruits

Apparently they saved the best for last?
