FIU signs 11 for 2010-2011 Season

Head coach Turtle Thomas and the FIU baseball team received 11 National Letters of Intent during the early-signing period, and the 2011 class is shaping up to be one of the best in the program’s history. "Our assistant coaches did an excellent job in recruiting," said Thomas. "They filled a lot of needs that we have for our coming year, by getting not only some of the best high school talent in America, but also top of the line JUCO players."

The class includes three players that played for their respective national teams in Manny Machado (USA), Kellin Deglan (Canada) and Mike Ellis (Canada). Machado would be a highlight of every signing class in America as he is ranked as the No.1 position player in the country and No.4 player overall.  "We’re continuing to build our program, and when the best position player in the country commits to you and then signs with you in the early signing period, that’s tremendous for our baseball program and where we’re trying to take it," said Thomas about Machado.
