    The way I understand it, Lucas is a helluva pitcher. Has a fastball in the low 90s and that was in H.S. I'm sure there are other pitches, but that is major league stuff in terms of fastball m.p.h.

      Re: O' Rear and baseball

      Lucas is on the UNI Panthers official baseball roster this year and is expected to pitch for Coach Heller this spring once the UNI basketball season is over. Coach Heller talked about this on OPR last week and feels Lucas can help the Panthers pitching staff this season. We all agreed we hope he isn't able to join the baseball team until after the final four!!!

          I love going to UNI baseball games ($1 beer on Fridays) and Lucas was always in the stands cheering on the team. This just makes sense now.

              we played a few high school games in WATERLOO DIAMONDS STADIUM! as we called it. i miss real minor league ball in the cedar valley. we went to indians/diamonds games all the time growing up. im pretty sure i played against claudio carrasco in slowpitch a few times before i moved to DSM.

                Claudio is still playing slowpitch around here (and still one of the best players around). I think he was actually elected to the WSA Hall of Fame last year.

                  O'Rear isn't on the website roster yet; perhaps they'll wait until the basketball season is over before putting him there. However there are 16 new JC transfers on the roster, so expect a very different-looking Panther team on the diamond this spring.

                    It took them 8 months to put me on the roster when I moved to UNI.

                    The website is the most unreliable source of information, unfortunately, that UNI has.

                    They took our team pictures in September and the mugs are still not updated on there.

                      I wondered why Luas didn't play last year. It was always good talking to him at games.

                        Maybe he wants to be here for 5 years. He should still have 4 years of baseball eligibility left.

                          Could be the 5 years, but I think it probably has more to do with his knee. He was playing through pain last basketball season and probably wanted to get it healthy in the off-season. Pitching requires a good deal from the knees, both pushing off and/or landing to generate velocity.

                            I have said it before and I'm sure I will say it again. You are such a positive influence on this site! Thanks for your imput! I have never experienced somebody taking such ownership(i.e. them, they, blah, blah, blah) in a school. Thanks for choosing us to continue your education!

                              Thanks for the input/personal insults, as is the norm with you. Unfortunately, it doesn't change the fact that the website isn't reliable.
