2 P.M. — Bladel Commits to James Madison Baseball

DigitalSports reports that Stone Bridge's Johnny Bladel commits to James Madison: http://www.digitalsports.com/article/type/organization/typeid/40/id/34556.aspx

A rising senior outfielder Johnny Bladel committed to play baseball at James Madison two weeks ago. But isn't it a little early to spurn offers from William & Mary, George Mason, Radford and Longwood. He reportedly had interest from Virginia Tech, Villanova, Richmond, Appalachian State, and several other schools. The reason? "I wanted to finalize my baseball decision so I could concentrate on football and focus on helping us defend our state title."

When you know, you know. At least JMU won the CAA Tournament title last season. As a junior, Bladel set single season records with a .471 batting average, and 27 RBI's, and was the Liberty District Co-Player of the Year.
