MiLB jobs

[QUOTE=GarthB]The count so far would indicate that Evans Grads (ahem...including my son) took about 70% of the openings.

I'm surprised with the performance from the Wendelstedt grads this year. Twenty students from each school were selected and fifteen jobs were up for grabs. Only five from Wendelstedt made it... Harry told this years class that this year was the worst class he has ever seen. Can you believe that? Maybe that’s why the annual banquet was canceled this year.

.

There have been additional openings since PBUC...the last count I heard was 19 openings..14 were taken by Evans Grads.

I saw Harry's students for almost a week after almost three weeks of school. I was surprised they were labeled the worst class, simply because it is hard to label a large group, but I only saw 3 or 4 students there who I would be willing to do a JV game with. All the instructors knew it was a weak group. So all Jimmy's supporters enjoy it, but basically it is the luck of the draw. Both schools do a great job of teaching.

Reminds me of something my grandfather used to say. Whenever someone would go on about what their doctor told them, he would say: "Remember, 50% of all doctors finished in the bottom half of their class."

Attaboy, Garth !

The kid didn't learn all that stuff at those great clinics.

Good job !

Based on some recent interactions during the last month or so with me and members of my family:

I call him "My doctor".

Way to go Matt!!! Ask Dad for one of those 'no limit' debit cards before you leave!!!

According to some on PBUC's staff, Evans had 11 out of the first 16. I've spoken with two Evans grads who were picked up after that and they tell me there's at least one or two others.

Whatever. I have no axe to grind. Both Hunter and Jim have graciously agreed to work with me on my project about the history of proschools for officiatin.com. I'm sure the final real numbers will come out sometime during our talks.

As stated earlier, it varies from year to year. Both schools have good staffs and do a great job.

Congratulations to all who made it. If they never work another season they've gone far beyond most here.

Happened with Evans last year - a below average class. When you consider two classes of ~ 200 ea it's bound to happen every so often.

I would really appreciate it if you would quote properly and not make it look like I said those things about Harry's. If you can't, please edit your post to take my name out of it.

I have nothing negative to say about Harry's school and in fact, Hunter has agreed to help me with a project 'Im working on.

Garth,

Nothing negative intended at all. Simply an observation that class quality is not always even between the schools.

Best of luck to your son!
