I know Sinclair has been really good the past several years, but whatever happened to their old coach? I saw they have a new coach now and was wondering where the previous coach is at or if he is still coaching.

He recruited very well in different parts of the state and I know had 3-4 draft picks from Sinclair. They did a great job with the baseball there...hopefully and it looks like the new coach is keeping up with the strong recruiting...Yinger is a good player!

Yeah I didn't realize he had that many either.

He would have 14 if he would of played Basketball his Junior year.

His performance last night shows why Brad Yinger is a multi-sport athlete.

Brad dropped 33 Points on Northmont to lift Sidney(7-13) over Northmont(18-2) 74-69 to end the Basketball Regular Season. The Win ended Northmont's 13 game winning streak and also prevented the Bolts from receiving the GWOC North Championship.

Brad is athletically gifted but may not of had the grades to go to a D1 school. Racking up letters is something that some kids feel great about, focussing on grades is much more important though. Education will take one much farther than letters will and I would think if he may have spent more time on his studies he would be at a D1 school or D1 JUCO lead in.

Miami will now accept Sinclair credits from what I have heard so maybe that will be an option in two years.

Well, I know most of the MAC schools were showing interest in Brad, heck even Ohio State was checking him out for a bit.

Like AmericaOne said, I think it was the Grades factor. Brad played a sport almost year round, so Grades probably wasn't a 100% focus point.

There is always a possibility of a transfer though, so we'll see what happens.
