Seems like that state institution is declining in altitude.  Wouldn't put it past me if all parties involved have dirt on their hands.  As a new director of athletics isn't it required to review the finances? Has anyone questioned his relative that blogs on here? He might know more than we think

trips to florida? heard through the wire there are financial woes up there in econn.  West coast trips to florida seem to provide some facts for that one

Believe the last name is Vogt from Suffield CT transferred to ECSU, Robert Wojick to NESCAC to join Wesleyan, I don't have any info on the Glastonbury HS coach, ECSU head coach's son is not coaching in ct...I believe in NJ

If Danny O'Connell continues improving at the current rate in his Jr and Sr years, I predict he will be drafted in 2014.  I think the key will be his improvement in fielding %, as the kid WILL end up hitting .400+ over the next 3 years!!!.  Very very composed for a sophamore and stung one of the LEC's best pitchers today!!!
I hope Evan Chamberlain picked up some confidence today, as he is a very good pitcher. His nasty breaking ball saved the Warriors from defeat today.
Commuso came up huge today, which he needs to continue as the Senior captain!!!
Still, too many base on balls, any other good hitting team, ( or just with a little luck) would have cashed in on  4 or 5 of the 14 RIC LOB and won this game!!!  It amazes me how Eastern pitching continues to either give up hits to players with low BA in the 8-9 slots and or when they get on via base on balls!!!!

Unfortunately for DIII infielders, the bar is set high on to project and draft them.  #11 for ECSU is undersized, doesn't have the speed per foot, arm strength is far below average, no power in his swing, that will take you to graduation hopefully in four years but that is about it.  If the case were 6'3 195lb and he's 87-91 from SS with good backspin on the ball hitting now that is a different story, great example is 6 miles down the road last year with Nicholas Ahmed from Uconn, great pick for the Braves organization

Had the opportunity to talk to Michael Russo of Kean U before the Ecsu game, struggled in the first few starts, but due to  mechanic issues  which since have been tuned, comfortable sitting 89-93 with a curve, slider, change.  Watching this game Ecsu had two guys on with no outs and they fake bunt double steal, catcher gets the out at 3rd, and then back to back ground outs? Looking at the coaches for Eastern they look like Dinosaurs, What are they doing over there?

Admit to enjoy the blog fighting between the dorm free umass boston and keene, Amused! Well 1 year of this BBCor under our belt and I am not the first to say that we are looking for arms, projecting pitchers will be on the radar.  In regards to eastern talk, spoke to a representative at ECsu in CT and Dimon was not enrolled in the fall due to gpa doubt he is there for the spring unless the coach is pulling strings with admissions, also Mitchell Furber is done from their understanding, keep me posted

 I had the opportunity to watch some games in Mansfield CT, before the University of Connecticut game in Storrs.  There is some talent in the Little East Conference, June's Draft could have some senior signings late. Here are some quick notes:
UMASS- Dalton-age, Walsh-injury prone, arm strength
Keene- Diprato- no real position, Doyon-Independent ball, Voght- FB exaggeration straight, slow, no off speed, Perrault- confidence to pitch, command
ECSU-Schult, Perry Dewing, Turgeon
Maine-Chadwick, Eaton-disciplined competitor

Updated 2011 Draft Class: New England
Tufts University
RHP Chris DeGoti
5'10 183lbs

Multiple array of offspeed pitches with accurate and live fastball, true competitor. Height is an issue but room to fill out at the next level.

Twins,Red Sox, Mets(NY)

I AM NOT FROM THE AREA BUT I HAVE FOLLOWED THE NEW ENGLAND BLOG AND HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, BURRLESON FROM THE REDS HAS NO PT? S GILBLAIR HAS NOT FOUND A PLACE TO PLAY? CASTILLO'S AGE WAS A HUGE FACTOR I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. CF FOR MAINE IS RAW BUT WHAT WE CALL A METAL BAT HITTER.  2 RIGHT HANDED 1B'S FROM RHODE ISLAND AND ECONN SHOW GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SIZE. THERRIAN 33 FROM MAINE  IS RAW AND NEEDS TO GROW INTO HIS BODY. ITS BEEN A PLEASURE 10' IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

2009 MLB draft 6pm start is 06/09/09
I am currently in the Midwest waiting for the Super Regionals to begin hence my unfortunate time difference from back in the East Coast.
It seems like a tight knit community in the New England Area, to be honest there is more talent at the D 2 and 3 levels than D I. As for  BC, Umass,Northeastern, and Uconn have very good potential talent particularly pitching
DIII is a different story, we want players to mature and grow at a certain rate, size is key, I have kept in contact with  players from Southern Maine, Wheaton (MA),Trinity (CT)

June 9th, 2009. I've submitted my reports could be some potential talent going if all goes well. Should be interesting for New England Div III.

DONT HAVE MUCH FOR OTHER TEAMS TO BE HONEST RIC HAS A L/L OF POSSIBLE. THATS ABOUT IT.

U SOUTHERN MAINE: I HAVE HEARD ON THE WIRE 3 TRANSFERS, AND IM TRYING TO FIND NAMES AND LOCATINS. PLAYERS-L/R D'ALFONSO PLAYED WELL IN THE NECBL SAW HIS LAST COUPLE OF GAMES BARRELS THE BALL WELL, HAS SIZE,RAW POWER POTENTIAL. BURLESON SLIGHT UNDERSIZE FOR A SS GOOD ARM, GAP POWER, POSSIBLE 2B IN FUTURE GOOD TOOLS. INF MACKEY-AVG BAT/ARM GOOD FIELDER,SLOW LEGS. PITCHERS DO NOT REALLY JUMP OUT.  KEENE STATE IS TRYING TO GET FRANKLIN PIERCE TRANSFERS. PLAYERS- INF-CHEVALIER HAS 2 TOOLS GLOVE, AND EFFORT BUT THATS ABOUT IT. OF DOYON, RUNS WELL,AVG ARM, LONG SWING DROP AND DRIVE. INF DARAK GOOD BAT SEEMS LIKE A STREAKY HITTER,GOOD GLOVE BIG FRAME. EASTERN CONNECTICUT I READ RECEIVED TWO PLAYERS FROM A JUNIOR COLLEGE I WANT TO SAY FROM NJ, A OF FROM MARIST NY, CONNECTICUT RHP, A DIV II SCHOOL IN NJ. PLAYERS-INF CASTILLO, MATURE, LONG SWING,LONG ARM,RUNS WELL, AGE IS QUESTIONABLE. LHP GILBLAIR-LOCATION OF PITCHES WELL MOST PART, MORE VELO IS +, NEEDS 4TH PITCH AND LOCATE, UNDERSIZED. RHP WOJICK- UNDERSIZED, USES LEGS, GOOD VELOCITY GOOD MOVEMENT. OF PARKE-DECEIVING FOR SIZE,HAS TOOLS, GOOD SPEED, ARM,OBP,INF DEWING-BIG FRAME,GOOD BAT,AVG,GLOVE,SPEED NEEDS TO IMPROVE,POTENTIAL

IM A REP FROM THE NEW ENGLAND REGION, AND I AM EXCITED FOR THE 2008 SEASON FOR THIS CONF, A LOT OF NAMES OUT THERE THAT MIGHT HAVE THE TOOLS TO PLAY AT THE NEXT LEVEL. EASTERN CONNECTICUT IS THE STRONG HORSE THIS YEAR I HAVE NOTED  7 INCOMING TRANSFERS FROM DIV I SCHOOLS AND JUCO AND THERE IS A BUNCH OF KIDS FROM THEIR STARTING LINEUP ON OUR RADAR. SOUTHERN MAINE ONLY GRADUATED TWO THERE ARE A FEW PLAYERS ON THAT TEAM WITH OUR EYE ON. KEENE STATE IS YOUNG, UNDERSIZED. NOW ESCUINRI AND DGILBLAIR YOU SEEM TO BE CONNECTICUT GUYS CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME INSIGHT ON THE TEAM. OR MAYBE SOUTHERN MAINE--
