last week he talked about his son & WVU on his radio network, was excited...

 
KC - I must admit that I don’t know a lot about Baseball recruiting. Can you tell me how many players typically comprise our roster. And how many full and partial schollys are awarded? Thx.
 
Anybody know why we seem to have drifted away from signing players from Texas? Just recently it seemed like a third of our players were from there.
