    O'Rear

    Any body know if Lucas is still going to pursue a baseball career with the Reds?

    Also, does anybody know if he would have gone to UNI if they didn't have a baseball program when he first started school?

    ...just curious.

          If his injury might have affected his ability to pitch at that level.

              he is going to pitch and they are even making him get rid of the beard/mullet. most guys just out of college go to a rookie league first.

                I believe that he went to Rookie league last year, and he isn't playing for the Yankees so the mullet and beard might be able to stay. The fact that he is already known for it might help him keep it.

                  No he has to get rid of all facial hair. He told Gary Rima on his show a couple weeks back.

                    Re: O'Rear

                    I just dont see him wanting to peruse any career behind a desk so I would imagine he will be reporting sometime. I thought I heard that he asked to report one week after the season ended. That was a while ago..maybe things have changed since then or maybe that wasn't accurate in the first place.

                      Lucas came to UNI to play basketball. I don't think baseball had anything to do with what he was doing at UNI until after he'd played hoops a couple years.

                          Jake said on the post game show that Luke could be heading to Arizona in a couple weeks.
                          The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                            IIRC O'Rear didn't go out for baseball his freshman year. He did his sophomore year and was starting by the end of the season, which was the last year for the baseball program.

                              He didn't do baseball his freshman year due to a shoulder injury. He did baseball his soph year, and then the team was cut.

                              Had O'Rear ended up at a different school right out of HS that had baseball I don't think he would have been a basketball player past his freshman or sophomore year.
