TN thinking: why didn't this guy sign out of high school ?!? *^%#*! How does a player transfer out of a military academy? Is he still on hook for military service? No. There are plenty of ways to transfer out if you are in good standing. It's not super uncommon for big athletes to be let out of the airforce as well since their size automatically cuts them out of many of the good jobs. Quite awhile ago they made the rule that you only have obligation once you start the 3rd year. The military only wants motivated officers who believe in the mission these days. |

Some guys/gals check out after less than a week. You get an ultimatum: Leave free of charge after two years. But if you stay and then leave, you have to pay back a certain amount of the money the government spent on you. Service academy students are not considered active military and do not get credit for time served toward their 20 years, but they do get paid. West Point is not a "campus," it's an active military post. |

I don't like Skenes. Throws it like a girl and has no movement on his fastball. Lame attempt at a mustache as well, when they panned to him in the dugout I seriously thought it was a glue on that he won at a local arcade along with the head band.
Our crew would have knocked him out. Too bad we didn't get him in game 2 in Baton Rouge. He does enjoy the most expansive strike zone in America so there's that.
If the kid somehow makes it to the big show, Adley and Conforto will send that 101mph straight as a string fast ball into the stratosphere.

Jake Cookus was there for about a month. But it was a longtime ago and I think it was not the entire first year. The Navel Academy and Navy has a height limit. I think it's about 6'6. David Robinson was under the limit when he was appointed. Then he kept getting taller. I don't remember, but I think he missed one year of NBA play after graduation while he was doing "active duty" type things. |
