Oral Roberts baseball coach Rob Walton is about to sign one of the area’s top baseball prospects, and didn’t have to look far to find him.

His son, Donovan Walton, a shortstop at Bishop Kelley High School, has given a verbal commitment to the Golden Eagles and said he would sign Wednesday, first day of the national signing period...

Yep, and he probably will....he's that good. The only thing to keep him from coming to ORU is an early round draft pick in June.

He's going to have a hard time signing today since baseball spring signing period doesn't start until April.

I believe they do, but it only covers tuition. The student still has to pay for room & board if they decide to live on campus. I would imagine he will be given a partial scholarship to cover these expenses so they can use other scholarship dollars elsewhere.
