CJ Hinojosa - Klein Collins HS 2012
University of Texas
El Gato. CJ is one of the best defensive kids in the country. What makes him stand out is his knowledge of the game. He has been one of the hottest hitters in Bandito land over the last few years. This kid has been in the program a long time and knows what it takes to play in the grease. Hits to all fields as well. CJ will definitely play at the D1 level and beyond.
Austin Dean - Klein Collins HS 2012
University of Texas
The Freak! Came to Bandito Land at 7 years old. He has developed into one of the top hitters in his class across the country. This kid has POWER! He hit a monster home run at Oklahoma State University that traveled over 400 feet. Has improved his defensive skills as well as his ability to play 2nd and 3rd base. One of the top players in this class. Look for Austin to do great things at Klein Collins and beyond.
Nick Williams - Galveston Ball HS 2012
University of Texas
Nick has been compared to Ken Griffey Jr. A 5-tool player that has tremendous upside. Look for Nick to be drafted very high in the 2012 Amateur Draft. The question is, will he go to college or will he go straight to pro-ball? Only time will tell...
Cory Geisler - Klein Collins HS 2012
University of Texas
Hard throwing lefty with electric off-speed stuff. Hit a bump in the road early, only to come learning from it. He has a chance and the potential to be the next Troy Patton. Corey will one day have to make a decision as he also swings the stick as well. He can flat out hit. Look for Corey to be on his varsity team this spring.
Courtney Hawkins - Corpus Christi Carroll HS 2012
University of Texas
Courtney is one of the purest athletes in the country. The question is...will Courtney step foot on the University of Texas field or go straight to pro ball? June 4th is right around the corner. One of the top rated pitchers/hitters in the country. When it's all said and done, Courtney will be pitching in the big leagues quicker than you think. A fierce competitor with tremendous upside.
Jovanni Hernandez - Rockwall Heath 2012
Texas Tech University
Jo Jo is a team favorite. This kid can beat you with his arm, stick or glove. Throws in the mid 80's with nasty curveball. Look for Jo Jo to play varsity baseball for his high school. One of the best catchers to come through Bandito Land. Great upside and tremendous attitude. Member of the 13U Banditos Black.
Jarred Greene - Magnolia HS 2012
Arkansas University
Big, strong and powerful. His game has improved over the last two years. Has a chance to do some great things as he is getting bigger and stronger. Throws consistently in the mid 80's and on any given day can beat any team in the country. He is starting to figure out how to hit the other way. Has a chance to become a power hitting catcher or 1st baseman. One of the hardest workers in the program.
Dustin Theiss - Klein Oak HS 2012
One of the best all around athletes in the 2012 class. This kid has great hands and the protypical middle infielder. Good contact hitter with occasional power. This kid will also beat you on the mound. Look for him to be an impact for Oak the next few years. Look for Theiss to play at the D1 level and beyond.
Cody Poteet - Christian HS 2012
University of California - Los Angeles
A member of the 155-0 team, Cody will follow in the footsteps of all Bandito greats. Pitching will be his ticket, as expected.

He has a 97mph fastball to go along with a great body.
Rex Hill - Tomball HS 2012
Texas A&M University
In our opinion, this kid has a chance to pitch at the highest level he wants. A strong lefty pitcher who throws between 85-90 MPH with nasty breaking stuff. Rex Hill will be a huge force at Tomball High School and beyond. Put that in the book. A great kid, as well.

Chris Cano - Corpus Christi Carroll HS 2012

University of Houston
Don't let his size fool you, as Avain has more power than most. Without a question, Avain has more bat speed than most prospects in the 2012 class. He will join teammate, Jeremy Kivel, at University of Houston. He will have a great chance to play beyond college.
