He was at the combine. He went 1-4 in the first game he played in. I haven't seen the box scores from the second set of games.

I would guess he'll report to the summer league team soon. Between the high school playoffs and the combine, it pushed his reporting date back quite a bit. But the Northwoods league will be a good test/prep for the upcoming season. I still think we have a great chance at getting him on campus.

Could be a really good DH/LF if JJ can work with him.

Really looks like Turley exploded in the last year. Even in his signing day press conference last Fall Johnson mentioned he was a two way player but most of the comments were about his pitching.

Yeah, I'm intrigued by him.

From a conversation in another thread about judging the recruiting of former recruiting coordinators, I sent you my roster tracker spreadsheet that I was using to track eligibility and track commitment dates, did you get that?

I did, just haven’t had a chance to log in anywhere besides my phone yet.

Apparently Turley also has a highly rated brother in the 22 class, currently committed to Oregon State.

Arizona has Daniel Susac's cousin in their 2021 class, too.

Me checking this thread multiple times daily following the announcement and those first two quick commitments.

That's me checking twitter, but more animated and liquored up.

Speaking of which, have you looked into Turley’s background on twitter? You can see why he has blown up later in his career.

I just see a bunch of clips of him hitting bombs. It looks like you were right the other day though, from what I can tell, that Arizona league is using wood bats.

It looks like he gained about 40 pounds late in high school and through this past season. There’s some older clips of him hitting out there. He always had a good quick, loose bat but he was a total bean pole.

Did this guy commit or decommit? What’s up with him?

Jack Washburn from Oregon State is another portal name to watch. Starting pitcher possibility.

Incoming JUCO infielder Jack Merrifield named national defensive player of the year. Saw it on Twitter, will link article when I get a chance.

He should compete for the 2B spot right away.

I give the old staff shite for not having a proactive approach to recruiting jucos or not using jucos to get the best available talent rather than to just fill holes.

Merrifield is not coming in to fill a hole, just to improve the roster. Credit to Cain for that. I just wish it was more standard practice the last several years.

Glad to see some might be hopping on the Merrifield bandwagon now! Hard to ignore a 0.400 hitter who was named National JUCO Defensive player of the year!

It doesn't appear Arizona recruits JUCO either based on their 2019 or 2020 rosters. I didn't see one JUCO player listed.

That may just be a quirk of how they list them. Their Friday night guy, Chase Silseth, was from College of Southern Nevada.

They had something like 4 JUCO commits in the current class.
