Former Valparaiso star player and current assistant coach Bryce Drew and his father, current Valpo head coach Homer Drew, each signed a 4x6 photo I sent care of the team's athletic department address. That success, which also included a couple of photos signed just by the younger Drew, took about one month.

Also signing was Texas baseball freshman sensation Cameron Rupp. The former Aflac All-American signed a pair of index cards and completed a questionnaire in about three months. Rupp is leading the Longhorns with a .370 batting average so far this season.
