Back To The Supers

The Rebs are back in the Super Regional Round and for once we are hoping history repeats itself. In a sense. After two attempts to make it to Omaha as the hosting team we're hoping that history repeats itself and allows the visitor to advance this years since the Rebels got sent out to Tempe Arizona to face the Arizona Sun Devils. Early word on the Sun Devils is that they have a great offense.

In other Rebel news a few players made it into the first year player draft. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays took Will Kline with the first pick of the second round. Zack Cozart also went in the second round to the Cincinnati Reds. Craig Rodriquez went to the Rockies in the 28th round and so far it does not appear any of the Rebels recruits are suspect to skipping Oxford.
The most amazing selection is that Justin Henry did not get selected until the Tigers took him near the end of the ninth round. But then the lack of respect for Henry doesn't even start there. After a third straight year of making the All SEC Tournament Team Henry failed to make the all SEC team. No not the all first team but second or third. Unbelievable for a guy who was hitting around .400 all year and finished the season at .385. Which was tied for third best in the entire SEC. Other Rebels including Cozart, Cody Satterwhite and Henry's own little brother, Jordan, made All Sec Teams with numbers and clutch play that did not come close to his. The only reasoning I can think of for this and its quite faulty is that he switched positions and that kept him from getting the votes at a position that he needed.

At least the team knows how special Justin Henry is. They've elected him as the captain the last two years.
