startribune.comIf you haven't yet, go read Joe Mauer's Wikipedia page. Guy was an absolutely ridiculous high school athlete, football and baseball mostly.

Yea I'm from St. Paul, MN and was in in middle school while he was a senior in high school so I remember his prowess well. Before being drafted number in baseball he had committed to Florida State for football, imagine those early 2000s FSU teams with a better QB than Chris Rix

I'm actually at the School where Joe went, and right now, we have an impressive 2014 class, and 3 D1 commits (AFAIK at the moment) (Notre Dame, Minnesota, and Iowa).

Yup I'm aware CDH is a juggernaut, my sister went there and I got my ass kicked in sports throughout high school by you guys.

Boo. I wanted a childhood picture of Sugg's ugly mug!

I always like the stories of pro athletes as kids playing with other kids who went on to be pro athletes. Then I think about how ridiculously good those teams must've been back then. Reggie Bush and Alex Smith in high school together...Jesus...
Osi Umenyiora and DeMarcus Ware were on the same High School football team and were only 1 year apart. Imagine Osi as a Senior and Ware as a junior lining up across from you.
Sweet Jesus, that's scary to an NFL lineman.
Didn't they both go to Troy as well?
Yup.
Funnily enough, according to Osi on his interview with Dan Patrick a week or so ago, both of them wanted to go to Auburn but Auburn didn't offer either of them a scholarship.
Don't know where it is, but there's a pic of Matthew Stafford and Clayton Kershaw on the same youth baseball team.
That's not even fair.
Jordan Walden was on it too, apparently.
