chitownsportsfan Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I keep hearing "B1G...UCLA" and my mind can't compute it. For some reason it's easier in hoops and football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 From the article: “It gives me a sense of comfort now knowing that I am who I thought I was at the time,” Cholowsky said. “The thing with me is just the want to win. I don’t think I could ever put a level to how competitive I am. I don’t think there’s something to even measure that. That’s what’s put me into the spot I am, because of how bad I want things and how bad I want to learn.” 😍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77 Hitmen Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Article in today's Trib about Cholowsky. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/13/chicago-white-sox-roch-cholowsky-ucla/ This is what his UCLA coach says about him: “He’s an exceptional clubhouse guy,” Savage said. “His makeup, his leadership, his body of work in terms of his work ethic in the weight room, drills, practice, meetings … it’s all about winning with him. “Whenever you have your best player as one of the best workers, that’s giving the right message day in and day out and makes life much easier.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll have a Sox premium to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don’t like that people are already penciling him in as the #1 pick, but where do you stand on Roch as a player? Is there someone else you prefer at this point, like Emerson or LeBron? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there someone else you prefer at this point, like Emerson or LeBron? I like Roch, I dont want that to be taken the wrong way. I'd take him first as of today too! I just think it's possible he could be supplanted or matched as a prospect over the next few months, and he's not a generational talent. I also do have serious qualms about him playing in the Big10 and the meaning of that production. Burress, Garcia, LeBron, and Emerson are all really interesting prospects - I think if Strosnider has one of the better seasons in college this year, he might be my pick! He's got more tools than Roch. I think it'll be hard for a HS player to make a jump in a way where he's the clear best player given the quality of college talent this draft but who knows?? https://x.com/MLBPipeline/status/2022434094454575116?s=20 Edited February 15 by Look at Ray Ray Run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
