Brennan officially going to St. John’s
-

There never seemed to be many second thoughts around here about whether Jim Brennan would go pro or head to St. John’s. Even he never really pondered bypassing the opportunity to play ball in college, not as a 45th-rounder. “I really didn’t consider it,” he admitted.
Indeed, Brennan made the logical choice. He turned down an undisclosed offer from the Detroit Tigers before last night’s midnight deadline. He will head to St. John’s in a couple weeks.
“To go through the process was great,” Brennan said. “I know I have of great things to look forward to at St. John’s.”
The level-headed Suffern grad told me “the whole experience was phenomenal” dealing with being selected and everything that accompanies it. “It’ll make things a whole lot easier when it comes up again,” he said.

He didn’t have to consider much since from the mlb page, he was never tendered an offer at all. great honor to be drafted, good player but another article…..please, this is like JJCR and Mam’k news
Thanks for the article Josh. Not sure what the point is that section 1 is making but one thing that JJCR, Mam’k and Suffern all have in common is that they have good players that are going places so keep the news coming as some of us do enjoy hearing about these guys!
