My last post was made with the assumption that he was being considered as an outfielder as was posted way back in this thread. I'm confused where the pitcher assumption is coming from, too.
If that's the case, does that swing the momentum in our favor as far as him choosing football over baseball?
One would think so, as I'd imagine an injury like that would have a pretty significant effect on his draft status. Obviously, not as significant as an arm injury, but it's probably enough to drop him a ways in the draft.
Also, my point about Crick was mostly to illustrate the fact that you can't judge a kid solely on the level of competition he's played in high school. Crick competed with lesser competition in high school than Davie currently is, and yet has developed into a good enough player to become a starter for us, making him obviously worth the scholarship.
The coaches obviously see the raw physical gifts in Davie and the potential for him to develop into a contributor for us in the future enough to offer him a scholarship and that's good enough for me. If they can develop Crick into a starter, then I have faith that they can identify talent no matter the competition level and make their talent worth the scholarship offer they have extended.
