“Last summer I took a trip back there and went to camp, met coaches and I loved the school. My goal is to play there after a year at Sierra College,” Cordell said. “As far as the career goes I don’t really know, division one college baseball (is the goal) and if that takes me to the pros that’d be great.”
Presently, Liberty is unable to give Cordell a scholarship.
“He’s just such a great young man,” Gunter said. “He just deserves whatever he gets. When I walk away I don’t have to worry about him whatsoever. And as a coach that’s probably the biggest pat on the back you can give a player.”
Cordell currently plans to attend Sierra for a year before transferring to Liberty. However, San Diego Christian has offered Cordell a scholarship. Cordell said he will take a look at San Diego, Both of his parents graduated from the Southern California school.
