He was the MVP of the Opening, right? Wasn't Sheldon Day the D-line MVP last year. So two years in the row, nice.

Reports are that he is focusing on football over baseball. He will play both at ND, but it seems football is his "clear preference".

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Great news!

Torii is our 2nd highest rated recruit on ESPN. High praise.

Also consider that a lot of the kids that go to MLB out of high school instead of playing football and baseball in college (a situation that comes up fairly regularly) do so because they need the money, and guaranteed signing bonuses can be tough to turn down. In Torii's situation, that really shouldn't be an issue. Also, under the new MLB rules, the bonus payments are going to be far less enticing than they were previously.

Wow great get especially when a lot of people stated don't expect a commit, and we get a huge commit especially from Texas. It create a major piper line.

Good news, I expected MLB would have the edge.
