It's July 1...any info on 2008 verbal commitments to play college baseball.

Class of 2008: Adam Davis (Driscoll Catholic)

According to PBR website:

Congratulations to Sean Flanagan (SS/CF/RHP Downers Grove North) on his verbal commit to Iowa!

I understand the Ruettiger kid is the nephew of the famous "Rudy" from Notre Dame. Pretty cool!!

Brett Huber RHP from Belleville Althoff to Ole Miss.

Tony Bucciffero(P) Minooka-Michigan State

Zak Morton from Evanston HS commits Northwestern University.

Congrats to Prairie Ridge catcher David Mitroff (08) on signing with Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. Will be a great fit with an outstanding new head coach who will also work with the catchers.

Kyle Gaedele from Rolling Meadows to Heartland CC.

On a side note, could someone with a PBR subscription pm me?

Josh Parr, shortstop from Illinois Valley Central, to Illinois.

Corey Kimes LHP Ottawa HS U of Illinois

RHP/INF/OF Nick Brown, Wheaton Warrenville South HS verbal to University of Iowa.

Congrats!!

Heartland stole Gaedele, easily one of the most underated in the class of 2008.

Kyle Burnham OF from Marshall to Indiana State.

I heard that Gaedele is related to Eddie who had one famous at bat for the White Sox. Is that true.

Way off bballdad'54

yeah, like on the flip side of that state, for the same owner, but at a different time and a totally different team. can anyone tell me which team in existence today is the former team in which Mr. Eddie batted once for?

With all of these young players going to Illinois, hopefully to play baseball, and considering the proposed roster of players for 2008, the Illini are going to have one extremely large number of players trying to make their team!!!!!

I only counted 3 Illini commitments on this thread, although several were mentioned several times.
