We're obviously recruiting much better, but I was still surprised not to see our logo anywhere on this list yet.

Edit: Those must be Crystal balls rather than commitments? I'm not good at this.

Hmm. Some...intriguing players there.

Some of them are Crystal Balls.

Our logo was on one...then a visit apparently went badly.

Most of the rest of these guys are within a close radius of Iowa City or Lincoln—which is kinda tough to fight. The one in close radius of Ames that we’re after plays a position we’re well stocked at—and he’s still visiting this weekend.

My son played U-trip with the CB from SEP. Really nice kid elite athlete I always figured baseball wasn't Xavier's sport.

I'm disappointed we aren't landing more top in-state talent. But, ultimately, I'll defer to our HC in bringing in the talent he wants and winning trumps all. Let's win more and I'll get over it.

Anyone from the area want to take a guess where Bollers ends up? For some reason I feel like if it was going to be ISU or Iowa he would have committed already

He's a strong Wisconsin lean based on what I know. It would be an upset if he goes anywhere else. If he stays in state I think it'd be ISU though.

Looks like he's the top prospect from this list.
