He's also an infielder in baseball and has the LSU baseball staff on him as well. I have not read anything to indicate he's trying to be a two-sport guy in college. Including SMU on his list of potential landing spots would indicate it's not a big priority for him (they don't have a baseball team).

It never really occurred to me that SMU doesn't have a baseball team. That's actually pretty wild. You'd think that would be right up their alley.

SMU does not have a stadium and no where to build one. If they started a team, they would probably have to play in the Highland Park HS stadium. The Scotland Yard seats about 500.

I guess DBU sits in place of SMU as far as college baseball goes.

Gaines quoted following his offer: “If I’m being honest, this is the offer I’ve been waiting for.”

And... I'm not losing sleep over this kid, and neither are Lane or Jay most likely. You're either a Tiger, or Tiger Bait, and neither of these coaches have problems recruiting
