With the 2014's recently signing their NLI, is anyone aware of early 2015 commits?

It's very interesting that few of the Elon commits come from in-state showcase organizations. But to answer your question, I've heard nothing regarding baseball commits.

Regarding in-state recruiting. It is hard with 11.7 scholarships to recruit in-state kids when you are talking about splitting dollars. Mike has to really stretch the money to make it work.
Elon Tuition =$42,000 Case: Offer of 25% Scholarship @ Elon = $10,625 Parents/Financial aid = 75% = $32,000
Offer from ECU with same factors...Total room and board = $16,000 in state.
25% Scholly = $4000 75% Other Sources = $12,000
Makes it pretty simple. With our costs you have to find kids that can - play at our level and have the grades - have parents that can afford it or have significant needs.
North Carolina players have a ton of options for D1 baseball as an in-state kid.
Make sense on why we have to look elsewhere? What would you do as a parent?

I get that. I've said several times on this board that Kennedy does a miraculous job for exactly that reason. Filling a roster of 35 with 11.7 scholarships and a tuition of $40k+ is a tough proposition. I also know that UNC, NCSU, and the other state supported schools regularly fill their rosters with Dirtbags, Cubs, Panthers, Golden Spikes etc. I'm just surprised that Elon gets none from these organizations.
Again, this isn't a commentary on Mike's recruiting ability. I think he does an unbelievable job just to keep the roster filled, much less keep the team at the top of a good conference year after year. I just think it's interesting that none of the hordes of showcase players in NC consider Elon as a destination. Could be that after the D1 state supported schools take their pick, none left are good enough to make the Elon roster. It's just an observation.
