I saw we signed Eric Whitehead. He sat out his senior year due to arm surgery. Is he really worth the gamble considering the injury trouble we have had in the past?

Yes.Originally Posted by MoltonLava8
Believe he was offered and signed before surgery. Similar to Casey Jones after HS senior year. Need a crystal ball on some of this stuff. Hindsite is always easy to make.
Eric will be a good fit here, great player and great kid.
Actually, like most risks, we won't know until we see him play. Hope it works out for him and us, but we have not seen great things so far from most of our guys who have had surgery.
We also have Jamie Gilley of Benton coming in and he had Tommy John in high school. He will be coming from BPCC and originally signed with Southeastern out of high school but didn't like it.
Gilley has also missed some time with a sports hernia. I believe it was last summer.
