I missed Texas first of all. Virginia coach Dennis Womack will no doubt miss Himes, who showed signs of blossoming into a great power hitter. He batted .316 and led the team with nine home runs. Womack said Himes' move was the best decision for a player looking to make an impression on pro scouts. We want to help players become better students.
Baseball takes second priority to that.
Although the Cavs had three players sign contracts with professional teams this summer, Virginia players do not have a long-standing pro history. Since 1990, only seven Cavaliers have been picked in the first 10 rounds of the Major League Draft. If I wanted to be a pro player, I wouldn't choose U.Va. You want to go deep into the South or to the West. That's where the weather is better.
