Some news on incoming Profs (the linked articles reference a few other D3 programs too).

Delran's Max Larson and Lenape's Phil Bolger are bound for Rowan in September.

Larson played his first game on Rowan's turf Thursday, when he scored the first touchdown in the SJFCA game. He was a four-year letterwinner for the Bears, with two years at quarterback and four at defensive line and linebacker.

Bolger, an offensive lineman, had a 3.6 GPA and earned captain's status.

Click HERE for the full article.

It includes reference to another incoming NJAC player:

"Tre Johnson of Burlington Township, who coach Tom Maderia called "the team's best cover corner," will attend Western Connecticut. He was a two-year starter and letterman for the Falcons and a first-team all-conference selection."

Another possible incoming player is:

Montgomery High graduate Matt Tholis, who was a stalwart at defensive end for the West in the 12th annual Sunshine Classic All-Star game.

The West offense also seemed to pick up the pace. It scored midway through the second quarter to make it, 12-7, going into the half. It was a battle of defenses and neither relented in the third quarter. Tholis was in on a number of plays, leaving him rethinking his future which was supposed to focus solely on javelin at Rowan University. "After this game, I'm debating if I should try to walk on (for football)," Tholis said. "I'll make a few calls and see what they offer me. I wasn't really sure if I could play. I'm not that big, but if I bulk up a little, I definitely could."

Mid-Atlantic Region / Rowan Transfer
July 10, 2008, 12:34:54 PM
Baseball transfer coming in next season according to THIS article.

"Jordan Marsch, who is headed to Rowan University this fall after two fine seasons at Brookdale Community College."

Marsch, a 6'2" 190 lb outfielder from Brick Township High School, hit a team-high .423 (8th League) in 2007 for a team that went 40-10 with a first-place 14-2 GSAC record. The team advanced to the Junior College World Series for the third time in a row and the 11th time in the school's history. The Jersey Blues finished fourth in the World Series in Tyler, Texas. The sophomore class finished with a two year combined record of 82-20 and back to back Conference and Region Championships.

Looks like a good get.

Not sure if you guys heard about this, but the NCAA is now offering a bunch of games new and old on DVD.   ;D  Rowan alone has a bunch of entries.  Click below to see.  You can search by school, sport, or year.

Hey, does anyone have any DVD copies of the Rowan Stagg Bowls?  Or know of where I could get some?

Go Profs!

Sakeen will play under a man with d3 ties, head coach/offensive coordinator Brian Partlow, former Randolph-Macon QB and offensive coordinator.

Recruiting update:

QB Bryan Pfirman of Millville will play at Rowan this Fall.  He was honorable mention all-conference in high school.  I hope he's an athlete making a position change -- he doesn't seem to have the same pedigree as Rowan's other quarterbacks for the last decade.

Anyone else has some extra information on this guy?  Maybe he's a talent and his team was just awful.

JT,

Yep, part of my duties involves voicing the phone system.  The general greeting is a Yankees player on the main number, but the majority of the other prompts and departments are me.

Let me know when you're coming out to the stadium this season.  If you come early, I can give you a quick tour of the press area.

New stadium is coming in 2009.  Groundbreaking is this May.

I hear Orihel is already lifting and throwing again.  When does Spring conditioning start?

Also, I saw the baseball team on Sunday.  Defense isn't great, and the bottom of the order is a bit light.  But batters 1-5 are quite nice.  The Edmeads kid is going to be a star offensively.  And Ranero was running constantly, very aggressive.

The young pitcher, Robert Rose, looked nice.  Nice fastball, very nice curve that looked like he could throw at two different speeds and still locate.  He needs to develop physically, but he has great potential.

The Profs' baseball season preview is online.  Curious to see that Robert Rose of Piscataway, who was listed as an incoming QB for Rowan this Fall that never made their football roster is in line for a spot in the starting rotation.

http://www.rowan.edu/sports/spring/baseball/releases/2006Baseball/BaseballOutlook06.pdf

Profs key additions include:

OF Tim Edmeads - D3 JUCO Player of the Year for perennial D3 JUCO powerhouse Gloucester CC, two years of eligibility.  Drafted by the White Sox out of high school in the 49th Round.  Played his freshman year at West Virginia where he hit .284 (21-74), 2, 7.  Edmeads was the 2003 Courier Post Player of the Year at Buena H.S.

RHP Alexy Still - Transfer from NAIA Vanguard University (CA), two years of eligibility, had played at Camden CC, Cherry Hill West Grad.

RHP Kevin O'Hara - All-South Jersey frosh from perennial H.S. power Gloucester Catholic figures to be in the rotation.

3B Miguel Sosa - transfer from D1 FIU with three years of eligibility, never played for the powerhouse program that has seen at least two players sign pro deals every year since 1989.  Ranero's stop at Barry Univ. had to help this kid coming in, who was born in Miami.

Rowan begins their season on Saturday against Virginia Wesleyan and Cortland State.  I think #5 in the country is way too high considering the pitching they lost, but it only proves how most "national polls" in D3 just look at previous years' results and program reputation over true talent evaluation.

P.S.  Rose threw for over 1,400 yards in H.S. and a school-record 25 touchdowns.  Wonder why he didn't come out for football, or did he and didn't make the cut?  Did he perhaps play JV?  Anyone with info, please feel free to fill us in.  He certainly could have contributed last season...
