SIRIANNI ON JANEK
"Walker is a very athletic player who we have recruited as a catcher, although he has the ability to play just about anywhere on the field. Walker plays for Ronnie Jonse at Gregory-Portland High School where he will be a four-year letterman handling most of his duties behind the dish. Walker also played for the Banditos Scout Team in the summers in a very highly competitive summer schedule that plays against some of the best players in the country. He is an exciting, dynamic player who will make an immediate impact for us."

SIRIANNI ON DAVIS
"Braden caught our eye back in his sophomore summer playing for Pat Woods in the NTX Dirtbags organization.  He is a competitor on the mound that fills the zone with three pitches locating his fastball to both sides of the plate into the low 90's. He has continued to improve every year adding arm strength to the pitch ability he already had. We are excited to watch him develop and pitch in big games for us in the future."

SIRIANNI ON BREWSTER
"Lane is a two-sport athlete from Clear Creek high school where he plays free safety on the football team as well as center field for the baseball team. Lane came highly recommended to us from Brent Kunefke his high school baseball coach. The first thing we noticed about Brewster is his toughness and competitiveness on the field. Lane's speed, athleticism and motor were the separator for us. We value toughminded guys like Lane and can't wait to watch his development in the years to come."

"Bryson is another one of our two-sport athletes playing football and baseball at Malakoff High School. We first saw Bryson in the fall of his junior year. His competitiveness and toughness on the mound stood out from the start. On the mound, he is a bulldog that will run the fastball up to 91 with a feel for his secondary stuff. He is the ultra-competitor and has played and pitched in a lot of big games at the regional and national levels for the Dallas Patriots summer organization. His stuff will continue to improve, and we are excited to see him develop in our program."
