Adam Choplick

[GrayEagle]

Does anyone know if there is any interest in Denton High product Adam Choplick? He does not list any schools of interest on Rivals but I know that he has visited the campus. He is among the Top 30 in the area in both rebounds and points scored. Although only 6'6" he appears to be a true center, something that we are sorely lacking.

And you know his Dad played for us....Adrian Choplick (was on our first NCAA tourney team). But from what I've heard....Adam is an even better baseball player. And that he will probably be highly drafted in June...and that's where he'll probably go--pro baseball.

SUMG is correct. I talked with Andrian Choplick at a home basketball game a few weeks ago. He said Adam was headed into baseball, not basketball.

The kid is 6-8, left handed and throws a sick 87 mile an hour sinker plus a 93 mile and hour slider.... where do you think he will end up? And he is pulling this even after elbow surgery

[NT03]

Adam should be drafted high enough ( in baseball) that he never even thinks about picking up the rock again

Jay Swafford? Is that Tony's son?

[NT03]

He is a beast on the mound! Womack and Slovacka hold the kid in high esteem. You should go out and catch a game in the spring and see why he will be having a nice baseball career. Although the early surgery is a bit of a concern.

I probably will. Haven't seen a high school game since Austin was @ Ryan. I was glad he didn't go to GaTech to play hoops, he is just so much more talented on the diamond. Hopefully Adam will have similar success

What kind of surgery did he have ? I know kids now a days are actually getting Tommy John surgery when they don't even need it because you come out stronger than before.

Yes sir! Tony is out at the can academy in fort worth now

[TheTastyGreek]

He only picked up basketball recently but has been playing baseball since he was 5. he has good size and fundamentals, but not athletic enough to play in college. At least division 1.

So, in this instance... We DON'T need to git sum pitchin?

My son said Adam's facebook page shows all basketball photos. It also shows photos of what look like basketball visits to A&M, OU and Iowa State. If he's going baseball, why would he visit Iowa State?

Because ever since he was what 11 years old he has been on the national radar for baseball? Mentioned on ESPN and CBS sports... for baseball.... People in other states only know him.... for baseball. He has been on the major league prospects list for quite some time. Now... with that being said if he hits a bump in the road with injuries to his arm then basketball could be possible. But I do not see it anywhere near his future

Would you not take a free paid for trip to another state? hell, I know if University of Hawaii offered my son a visit I would be gone in a heart beat. It might take two or three visits for me to decide if that is really the school for him...

To Iowa, though?

Hayrides are not all they're cracked up to be. (Sorry, Quoner.)
