Please post any commitments or signees here for the upcoming year. Make sure that it is a confirmed commitment or signing. Good luck to all of our '06s!!

Benjamin Danziger 06 RHP Cleveland Heights, Ohio has made a verbal commitment to the University of Akron.

Congrats to Benjamin

bags, congrats to Ben on his decision

also congrats to Akron on theirs

now y'all can take a collective sigh of relief and he can focus on his Sr year

it seems like a great situation to be an early signee in the new coach's FIRST recruiting class as the program takes on new direction & energy under Bangtson and staff -
I'll look forward to watching him play next fall

just a reminder regarding the "post committment" tradition where you take him to a good eatery and invite him to order anything off the menu

good luck

That's great! Glad to hear Brian has signed on to play ball at Kentucky.

BuckeyeCat, I was born in Dayton and lived on a farm in Huber Heights before moving to New Carlisle and eventually to KY. I haven't heard the name Huber Heights in a very long time.

Thanks Beezer and tasmit! Tasmit when was the last time you visited Huber Heights. There has been a lot of growth and developement in the last 10 years. Wayne is the second largest school in the Dayton area. Wayne has 2400 students at the high school. Football is the big sport at Wayne but baseball is at least number two! On Saturday the football team plays St.X out of Cincinnati in the regional finals. The baseball team started 8 juniors last year and were ranked #5 most of the season. Including my son, Wayne will have 4 DI starters back so we should make a good run next spring in the state tournament. We are really excited that he chose UK and he is on a mission to be ready play once he gets there next year.
