BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[ShineTime]

More disturbing news in stevens point journal today I hope this doesn't affect his career with red soxs.  What is he doing in point anyways is my question?

Cubs, a Whitewater HS athlete is headed your way.  Scott Gorsuch, a righthanded pitcher.  I don't really know that much about him other than he is a three sport athlete.  QB on the football team and a starter, leading scorer, on the hoops team.  I did see him pitch a couple of times last year and though not over powering I thought he could develop and be pretty decent.  Frankly I was hoping he might consider coming our way and playing football.  I think he could be a very good WIAC safety.   Anyway I was speaking with him last night and he's really excited about the opportunity.  He's a good kid and I hope it works out for him.

Will he be a baseball only, or will he play Football as well?

I think it's baseball only.

With the changes in the baseball program, he will probably have a chance to step in play right away...

Interesting to see the following link as the headline on the UWO Baseball page right now....

Interest really that low or were there other circumstances?

And now one of the Spring Clinics is canceled too?     I can remember the days of 200+ kids being at these clinics in the past.

And confirmation that Polcyn is indeed no longer playing baseball at Oshkosh....

Also in the Midwest preview states ben messenger transfers to Oshkosh.  What a huge blow for point even though they do get seidl back.  Is anyone else concerned besides myself on whose catching for point this year?  Looks like mccugh is playing this year from rosholt that could certainly add some pop to their lineup.

Maybe it is just me, but I feel like the WIAC sees more transfers in and out than any other conference I read about. Not sure of the reasons, but it always feels like big-name players are on the move in this conference.

I just can't understand how a kid can make World Series as a freshman and be in rotation and leave for a program with a new coach and most importantly hasn't been a national title contender in a long time.

Starts with "P" and ends with "Y"....

As far as the rest, the decision was made before the change in coaches happened.  With Coach Lechnir's track record of success with developing LHP's (Lechnir is also a lefty) it could have been a motivating factor as well.  Ultimately though, I believe it is was the above.

You of all people should have some understanding of why a player leaves one program for another.

It's only understandable when it benefits Point like it has MULTIPLE times over the past 5-10 years...

Oshkosh losing Polcyn is huge too and makes ripon a heck of a lot better.  How good is ripon capable of being this year?

I think SNC is probably the favorite in the MWC...  Ripon was pretty senior strong last year, and has to replace the entire middle of the field as SS, 2B, and CF were all seniors.
