Kid made a good choice.
Welcome aboard.
Also, not an uncommon thing I've heard...a lot of players don't like Leggett.

6'4, 210 lbs. lefty who is a quality pitcher and comes from a very good program (that will probably win a state title this year if they can get past Wren)

Is it just me, or are we starting to build a little pipeline with Greenville?

Parke for his class.
OF Clark Scolamiero for 2014
C Jared Firmstone (target) 2016

Good we need more arms. 3 or our 4 best pitchers are seniors (Webb, Westmoreland, and Belcher). I'm afraid about next yr.

Boo Hoo, so a kid can't change his mind on where HE wants to go to college???

Welcome to Columbia Mr. Parke, you made a wise decision.

Many that follow football recruiting might think this is just normal heated recruiting among rivals. Well, not so fast. Baseball recruiting is not the same as football recruiting, not as cut throat. The normal process in baseball recruiting is that once a player is committed, the recruitment from other schools ends.

Never heard this un-written rule...... has anybody else besides CLEMSUX heard of it?

The only thing better than watching Clemsux lose a player, is us getting the player they lost!

Parke came to his senses and decided he wanted to play in the SEC, and not the ALL CUPCAKE CONFERENCE!

Welcome aboard Mr. Parke....... you won't regret your decision!

Also...a lefty.
We were going to be very right-handed heavy next year.
We def. needed some quality lefties.

Oh God Lord.

Leggett is a child.

acting?

GamecockMomSC · 04-25-2013, 09:24 PM

So basically John Parke is smart AND good at baseball!

usc52 · 04-25-2013, 10:11 PM

Welcome aboard John. The Gamecock family is happy to have you. Looking forward to watching you beat Clemson!!

Cocktober Surprise · 04-25-2013, 10:15 PM

Aren't Clemson's gloves apparently "off" everytime we play them?

Poor Tates.

usc1 · 04-26-2013, 07:28 AM

Don't know why Clemson is getting all up in arms about this. We had a guy committed in this 2013 class, Andrew Cox, who flipped to Clemson a year or 2 ago.

gamecock88 · 04-26-2013, 07:42 AM

Technically it's not a "Scholarship" right? At least not a full scholarship. Probably only a partial since that's most often what is used in baseball.

bgallup · 04-26-2013, 07:45 AM

IM sure there isnt a coach on our staff worried about the "gloves being off"

John79 · 04-26-2013, 10:30 AM

Yes , partial.

USCBatgirl21 · 04-26-2013, 10:51 AM

Poor ole JackLegg. May I get you some cheese to go with that whine?

And don't give me that "we don't go after guys who've committed elsewhere" BS JackLegg. I know better!

eaglegolf018 · 04-26-2013, 11:16 AM

The kid is left handed and throws in the 90s. He shouldn't be a walk on, Jack.

d20636 · 04-26-2013, 11:24 AM

It has to be embarrassing... A kid worthy of a scholly at USC is only offered "preferred walk-on" status? *ouch*

That's piss-poor recruiting IMHO.
