Aggies pick up commitment number eight!

LHP/OF Brooks Raley
L/L, 6-1, 150
Uvalde, TX High

THSBCA All-State second team in Class 4A as a pitcher
Express-News Class 4A/Private 6A team as a pitcher
District 28-4A All-District first-team selection as a pitcher/outfielder


The Aggies have their eighth commitment from the class of 2007 and he is a player very familiar to the Big 12. Brooks Raley, younger brother of Oklahoma two-time All-Big 12 honoree Russell Raley (a current New York Yankee farmhand). With eight commitments already this summer, the Aggies look to build on the tremendous recruiting class of 2006 and the talent level is growing with each commitment this summer. His brother started the last 20 games of the 2003 season and was a fixture in the Oklahoma lineup for the next three years. Son of Terry and Dee Anna Raley, his father played at St. Mary’s University and then for the Toronto Blue Jays from 1980-83. Brooks was also named third team All-State by the TSWA after going 12-2 as a junior. His only losses were to Smithson Valley in a playoff warm up game and Calallen in the Regional semifinals.

AUSTIN - It was not the result Brody Greene had hoped for, but the Bullard High School graduate enjoyed the experience of playing in the state capital.

Greene and his North teammates fell to the South, 122-116, in the 62nd annual Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star Basketball Game before 2,803 fans Monday at the Frank Erwin Center.

Greene hit for seven points for the North, while grabbing two rebounds and dishing out three assists. He also had two steals.

"You always want to go out a state champion, but this is at the top, too," said Greene, who will attend Texas A&M on a baseball scholarship. "It was nice to be able to play in this arena and a great honor to play in the state capital, the first time this game has been here in 56 years.

"There are a lot of great players in the state of Texas and it's an honor to be a part of this team."

In the first quarter, Greene deflected a pass that ended up in the hands of Howe's and North Texas' Collin Mangrum, who drained a 3-pointer. As the first period was winding down, Greene swished a 10-footer to bring the North within 31-26.

Later, Greene had a steal and then dished to Flower Mound's Shawn Schepel for a layup as the North pulled closer, 33-28. In the fourth quarter, the All-East Texas MVP added a shot in the lane and then drained three free throws when he was fouled on a three-point attempt.

Conroe Paper Story


The Woodlands' David Alleman said he chose to commit to Texas A&M because the Aggies' baseball philosophy fits him 'to a T.' Staff photo by Jerry Baker

The Woodlands center fielder David Alleman had seven legitimate collegiate programs courting him, but ended up choosing the one that had almost the exact same baseball philosophy as his.

This week the Highlanders' soon-to-be senior gave his verbal commitment to play for Rob Childress's Texas A&M Aggies. He chose them over a host of schools including TCU, West Point, Air Force, Arizona State, Kansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette.

"I thought A&M was the best," Alleman said. "They told me their philosophy on the offense and it just fit me to a T. I went up there for Junior Day and I just loved all the houses and everything they had up there."

Alleman said the Aggie coaches had scouted him since the fall, and first watched him in an early-season tournament. Though he didn't have his best performance, they still seemed to like what they saw.

"The first time they saw me it was one of the worst tournaments of my life," Alleman said. "But they liked how I competed. I would walk and work the count, and I fouled off 10 or 11 pitches on one at-bat. They liked how I hustled. I'm one of those players where it takes me more than one game to show what I bring to the table."

The coaches even got to see Alleman play in their own backyard, when the Highlanders met Klein in the Region II-5A Semifinals this year at A&M's Olsen Field. In that park he displayed the defense and hitting that allowed him to finish his junior season with a 1.000 fielding percentage, a .404 batting average and 38 runs scored.
