Nebraska Baseball Gets Commitment From Norris 8th Grader

[SOHusker11]

Older brother is committed to FSU in the class of '24.

 

[T...Chafes]

I believe there is one more Fountain coming up after him, currently in 6th grade or so. Might as well offer him too ...

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

my math doesn't put him in 8th grade

 

[steinek11]

It means nothing. Just something for the kid to brag about while we keep our name front of mind the next 4 years.

 

[cubsker_rivals142943]

ah, brother is class of 24. this kid is class of 26. kind of silly.

At least one of our coaches knows how to lock down the state

Fountain of youth?

Better get my 4th graders commitment video up and running.

 

[DrAlan_Grant]

wild. i remember how i was in 8th grade, lol. feels like kids are growing up faster than when i was that age.

This kid I think I heard is already 6'4" 195lbs and throwing rockets......in the 8th grade. He'll be a freshman in 4 months so it isn't really all that outlandish.

The older brother Kale is a sweet kid and a hitting monster. Sincerely hoping he ends up at NU. BTW, Kale was one of the best hitters in the state last year as a freshman. You can be tongue in cheek all you want about recruiting kids this young but these Fountain kids have talent that jumps off the page. Getting in early is the right approach.

I was wondering about the competition he would face in high school, but it looks like Norris plays a pretty tough schedule.

Plus their level of competition in the summer is the highest possible. I don’t know the details but Kale at least has played in Florida.

Personally I wish the NCAA would put in a rule saying kids can't get offers until after their Sophomore years. (Start summer of their junior year.) I would do it for all sports. Just an arbitrary, let kids be kids type of deal.

 

[Rhule Szn]

We have a Fountain of an NIL deal for these boys. Ok, I'll see myself out.

I agree...

If he or the brother are that good would they be drafted high enough to skip college

 

[SOHusker11]

Already has a classmate.

Keep the freshman baseball video coming!!!!

 

[BuckysBoys1]

Over the past 5 years Norris has had some amazing baseball talent roll through....any reason behind it? Or is it ramdom?

I don't know. A school that I keep thinking is going to start kicking *** is DC West but it just has not happened yet.

Will he even do college

Pretty big pick-up.

Lincoln kids going to Norris. I expect it to slow down a bit with Lanik at Lincoln East.

I have been out of state since early 1991….what is DC West? Wow have I lost track of all the Lincoln schools added. Don’t think Skutt was in Omaha yet. Nebraska has changed a lot!!

DC (Douglas County) West is what became of Waterloo and Valley.

Yeah, Norris lost the younger Reetz boys a few years back to Elk South and didn't skip a beat. Now both are playing at UNO. (The oldest was an early round draft pick- but he finished out at Norris)....

Yeah, they are terrible. Their whole field was majorly flooded a few years ago, that didn't help....

I feel like 10 years from now Linoma Central HS is going to have forfeit a Class A Championship to Yutan because they brought in some players from Venice.

They are so bad, like at everything...

But...the moms are HOT!

If these kids are that good , probably not Going to college anyway, but give it a whirl.
