Dayton Dugas had his plane ticket to Oklahoma State and an official visit planned for this weekend.
No need. Wichita State’s baseball program won him over in mid-August. He loved Wichita and the restaurants he visited, loved the campus and the baseball facilities. His father is old friends with Shockers coach Todd Butler and — this matters to a guy from Louisiana — he noticed a Cajun restaurant close to campus.
“Gumbo,” he said. “My mom makes it. My dad makes it. Chicken. Sausage. Duck. Deer sausage. Every seasoning you can think of. Sometimes, my dad puts in oranges for flavoring.”
Dugas, a senior centerfielder from Sam Houston High in Lake Charles, La., gave WSU a non-binding commitment last month during his official visit. Butler gave him the option of thinking about it on the plane ride home and Dugas declined. http://www.kansas.com/sports/college/wichita-state/paul-suellentrop/article1742767.html
Sam Houston (LA) High School outfielder Dayton Dugas is already projected as one of the pwer bats to go on the first day of the draft. Has a rare combination of power and speed for someone as big as he is.
Has been timed at 6.68 in the 60.
6-3, 230-pounds
Cool, let's grab him. I also want to see if the Padres would give up Gettys at some point.
