 Nice overslot deal for Ockimey....can't blame the young man for pursung his dream.   "Fifth-rounder Josh Ockimey has agreed to a $450K bonus with the Red Sox, tweetsCotillo. That represents a $167.2K overage against the slot value of the 164th overall choice. Ockimey is a high school first baseman from Pennsylvania." http://www.mlbtraderumors.com  

  I was actually telling a buddy about this yesterday, the university is doing well bringing in and maintaining high caliber coaches in the  lower visibiility sports, specifically Coach Smith and Coach Curt Miller.  

The 2015 class is shaping up to be special, love the first two additions!

Anyone have experience with Eron while he was in HS or growing up from a qualitative perspective?     The question is directed more to his character and leadership ability (NOTE: I am not questioning either, I just know he is an Indy kid who posters may have insights to share.)  Given the past season's lack of focus I would like to know a bit more...

  Pap, what is your read on the 2015 class?  Are there any names that you feel we are sitting "strongly" with?

  Wow, that is surprising I would have thought Calbert would have had more tact than spouting-off this opinion...or is this just more message board BS?   Hoopster-Feel free to link your source, Thanks!

One of my favorite CKW analogies is, "Man sharpens man like metal sharpens metal."     I am confident that the recruiting victories from the past three years will start to translate into wins on the field this year.

  Is it bad that I found the Men's soccer promo photos more interesting than AE's decision?  He just never really did much for me in his 2+ year here...good luck to him, I guess.

  Scotty, how dare you confront Hoosier Hoopster's irrational hatred of CTC with logic and reason!

If we are shopping for Xavier recruits, what about the big fella...Makinde London 6'10" 195lbs. PF from Florida?   http://247sports.com/Recruitment/Makinde-London-24541/RecruitInterests

  Says the same poster who said we should have forfeited the game at 3.     I personally like Jeff, low-ceiling player, but plays hard and doesn't make mistakes.  On a young team you need a calming influence.

Pretty powerful stuff Stu, great find!   General/Pap/Reb- What is your read on the '14 class?  Reading the tea leaves here, I believe that we will end up with a five man class, adding an additional wing and a "big"…what are your thoughts?  Any names that you feel confident about?

Shocker, I thought it was a two-way race with Minney and us.  I wasn't tracking a Penn State offer or visit.
