Ten  recruits to join Pirates' quest for Omaha

The transition from one head coach to another in East Carolina's baseball program apparently had little if any effect on the team's recruiting efforts as evidenced by the credentials of the school's 10-man fall recruiting class.

Billy Godwin, who stepped up from interim status to officially succeed Randy Mazey as head coach of the Pirates on Oct. 28, indicated on that day in an interview with Bonesville.net's Brian Bailey that he and his staff had already essentially completed their early recruiting campaign by gaining verbal commitments from targeted players.

The list of recruits was made public Tuesday after signed letters-of-intent were received from six high school seniors and four junior college transfers.

The six prep players are pitchers Michael Anderson, Joe O'Malley and Zach Woods, catcher/infielder Bobby Fowler, outfielder Devin Harris and first baseman Kyle Roller.

Pitcher Bailey Daniels, outfielders Trent Ashcraft and Mark Letchworth and catcher/infielder Corey Kemp are the junior college transfers.

Godwin is high on the recruiting haul, which he characterizes as balanced, talented and up to the mission he has in store for them.

"We (coaching staff) believe this recruiting class is an outstanding match to our returning players," said Godwin in a statement. "It gives us a great blend of junior college and high school talent. Each of these players has the ability to step in and compete at the highest level and help us reach our goal of reaching the College World Series in Omaha."

Geographically, the class is anchored by in-state signees, but the overall group spans a crescent ranging from Tennessee to New York. Five of the players are from North Carolina and two are from Tennessee, while New York, New Jersey and Virginia are each home to one of the incoming players.

The recruits will join the ECU team for the 2007 season.
