Kansas and Missouri Southern? Mo Southern must have given him a nice scholly offer, and he must have really wanted to be close to home. Glad to have a legacy coming to town...
Well, he can't be bad. Anything else on this kid other than the fact that he chose us over KU and MSSU?
One of the coaches from Webb City recently took the MO Southern job so he was listening to him out of respect. The KU coach did an in-home visit just the other day.

Great athletic ability but his best sport is definitely baseball. Very doubtful he would be considered a two sport player at the Division I level....Division II yes. Has tremendous baseball talent and overall instincts regarding the game. Will be a great addition to the baseball program.
