Today, kids could sign their LOI's to the school of their choosing. Anyone know who we got for baseball? Anyone have a composite list? I saw where Hagenow ( kid from Knoxville), and a couple others sign. Just curious. Thanks.
 
^ Saw where Ryan Hageniw, RHP our if Knoxville and Wyatt Hudepohl our Cincy signed.

Think Hudepohl is also a RHP and is a QB on the football team. Cincinnati Moeller maybe if it could be St. X.

Bryce Behmer is a C from PA. 9.5 rating on Perfect Game which projects to a top 10 pick in the MLB draft or high level college player.
Got him signed now trying to get him on campus will be even tougher.

Baseball recruiting is so hard to keep up with, especially without paying for PG.

I think that it will be interesting to see the direction this new coaching staff takes. The previous staff leaned pretty heavily on JUCO talent, but I am not sure if that will continue to be the case with a new recruiting coordinator.

Also, it appears the 2020 roster is posted on the UK Athletics site. 44 players to this point. Always thought they wanted to post the roster at the start of the second semester or maybe I just missed it?

Any of these 'to keep an eye on' guys at risk of making a change?
 
^ Saw that it on the surface it looks great. Just wish I could find - w/o a paid subscription to PG - who they are. Finding that info is like mining for gold. Geez.

I am not a huge fan of mining the JUCO system as much as we have been. I don't mind grabbing a couple of players to fill in holes, but we, IMO, have relied on it much too heavily during Mingione's time. Would like to see us get back to developing some guys that come here out of HS.

The only 3 I have seen are the ones mentioned above. Of course, last year we had 2 of the top JUCO pitchers signed, but both were high draft picks and signed.
