PBR:  Where are you in the process of deciding on a college?
Corso:  I am currently keeping my options open to see which colleges are the most serious about recruiting me. Then I will see what my best option will be.

PBR:  What schools are you currently considering?
Corso:  The schools that are recruiting me are the University of Oregon, VCU, Navy and Georgia Southern.

PBR:  Is distance from home a factor in your decision?
Corso:  No it is not. I have attended school and played on a travel teams in the Midwest while away from home for over a year.

Corso:  3B or short stop

PBR:  What is your biggest strength as a player and how do you feel that will help your team?

PBR:  Who do you play for in the summer and what was your most memorable experience from this past summer?
Corso:  I play for the Mid-Atlantic Rookies. My most memorable experience this past summer was playing in the top 16 while at Perfect Game in Jupiter, Fl. We lost a heart breaker (that we really should have won) to the Canes Baseball National team.

PBR:  What are your plans for your junior season and the summer of 2012?
Corso:  My personal goals this high school and summer season are to hit over .450 and make all the Pennsylvania All State Team. For the team, I want to win a state championship because we have the opportunity to do it.
