cmhscotsfan -- that is great news because your source is probably more reliable than the MLive website!   

Thanks for the update.

GO SCOTS!!

I have also heard that he is still going to Wooster and has been playing well in the scrimmages.

Also I have heard that Jamie Yoder has transferred to Capital and that Jeff Stevens will not return next year.

Battista was NOT at this week's scrimmage, but was there as late the previous week.  I'll try to get an update this week.

Looks like the Mose Hole tourney this year should be a good one with Calvin, UW LaCrosse and ONU coming to Timkin!

FYI... Former Wittenberg standout Dan Russ, recently signed to play professionally for a team in the Netherlands. This comes after a busy summer of playing in professional tryout camps in California, Florida, Mexico and Germany. A great story on a very deserving player both on and off the floor. Best of luck to him in the future.

Russ really seemed like a class act, and I wish him the best of luck over there.  He's a player with very nice inside moves and is also an excellent interior passer.  Strength is what he needs the most, though, and I have to admit I'm a little skeptical about him being able to gain much more of it.  After all, I have to assume that he was working along those lines for the last four years at Wittenberg and he's still very much on the thin side.

Congrats to Dan!

He was a really quality player whom I enjoyed watching quite a bit these last couple of years. I'm glad he got the shot to play overseas.

Seriously! What do you guys serve in your cafeteria at Witt?   

Seriously though, I would imagine that eventually he has to fill out a little. Isn't that one of the effects of aging?

  I can attest to that!  It came to a point a few years after I graduated when the 12 oz. curls excercise program that I was implementing to the fullest during my undergrad days just wasn't cutting it anymore?!?!? 8)

Any final word on Dex Battista's situation?  Anyone know, for sure, if he's still at Wooster or has gone to Hope?

[goscots]

Don't know if it means anything but if you do a directory search on the Wooster.edu site his name does come up as in the class of 2010.

[wooscotsfan]

goscots -- no, that listing of Dex Battista in the Wooster class of 2010 doesn't mean much because there are no signed commitment letters in D3 sports.  In short, a D3 athlete can change his mind right up until the first day he enrolls (attends a class) as a freshman.  If Battista shows up at Hope College this fall to attend his first class, he will be a Dutchmen regardless of being on a Wooster class of 2010 list.

The class of 2010 was actually posted on the Wooster website back in June or July and Battista was on the list at that time.  The real question is whether he has since changed his mind and where does he intend to enroll when classes begin?  If someone actually sees Dex Battista on the Woo campus when freshmen orientation sessions begin, that will be the real confirmation that he will be a Scot!

GO SCOTS!!

I've heard that the Wooster players - including his roommate - are still expecting Battista to be at Wooster this year.  However, WooScotsFan is correct - we won't know anything for sure until Aug 23 when orientation begins.

[goscots]

I tried to Google the Web for any new information - no luck, and the Hope site does not have a student directory.

Some non league games on the Scots schedule:

Al Van Wie  Emory&Henry vs.  Mount Union, Wooster vs. Cabrini
Mose Hole  Calvin vs. Wisconsin-Lacrosse, Wooster vs. Ohio Northern

Walsh (NAIA champions in 2005) away
Cedarville (NAIA) home
Pomona Pitzer away (SCIAC champions 6 of last 10 years)
Cal-Baptist away  (NAIA)

[woosterbooster]

Wow, that's an intrigueing schedule.  I was wondering, last year, how Wooster would have fared against Walsh, a team with incredible size.  I don't know if they have that size back, or who they lost, but it should make for an interesting game and only 50 minutes away.

Plus a California trip.  That one I don't believe I'll be making, but it should be a fun one for the players.  Hope they put the schedule up on the website soon.

Pomona Pitzer away (SCIAC champions 6 of last 10 years)
Cal-Baptist away  (NAIA)

I'm sure that David is looking forward to having the Scots visit his neck of the woods out there on the left coast!
