Can’t think of another school have guys off failed regimes in multiple major sports falling upward to HC as often as Miami. Shannon, Diaz, Dimare, and probably now JD. Makes no sense. This is the equivalent hiring Diaz after you got a clean slate from Richt retiring. Gonna take falling flat...

Can’t say it’s worse than Gino. We’ll improve if it’s Pollard but im not a fan. A long time coach and mentor of mine playing was Chris Gordon who was pitching coach there for a few years under him. I’ve had very meh feedback versus his experience in how things are run at Texas. But Pollard had...

Vitello's alma mater didn't even attempt to hire him this off-season. They know he's not going anywhere.

Could definitely do worse than PM. Especially if it doesn’t involve JD sticking around and he can bring in a solid staff around him. Maybe even get a good Head Coach in waiting scenario. Not my first choice but better than we’ve had.

Hopefully he hires Landon Powell so we can load up on some D2 transfers

After they moved to D2? Hate to break it to you but NGU has been D2 for many years prior to Powell getting there. I didn’t have to google anything. I watched them play 15+ games this year. I keep up with it because I played in the same conference when Powell came in. Played against Hunter...

A lot more than their competition for sure. Looking at the roster isn't fully accurate - Chlup came from NCST but that isn't shown on the roster - the kid hits 3rd for the Czech national team in the WBC. Myles Daniels says he came from Spartanburg Methodist but went to The Citadel out of high...

If they hired JD I would be shocked. I was also shocked Gino stepped down or might have even been pressured to step down. The fact that Norberto is headed to UCF tells me the staff already knows they're out the door or have been for a few. JD might get a courtesy interview. Would not be...

Even if not "nationally" we need to improve in Central Florida, North Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and even South Carolina. Lots of good players in those states. It's hard to recruit Texas because of Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, A&M, TTU, TCU, etc. and tons of smaller schools...

Yep. Powell did land a few kids out of HS that were studs. Probably one of his best hitters the last 3-4 years came straight from HS. But my years playing them they basically brought in kids from South Carolina, Furman, USC Upstate, Clemson, etc. They brought in two 3 year starters from...

South Carolina fans are dying for us to hire Kingston so they can hire Powell. I played against NGU when they were winning 5 games a year and then saw his first couple seasons there. Impressive turnaround but he’s done it exclusively with D1 transfers. He’s pretty much just out-talenting...

Did Kendall Rogers post an update a few hours ago?

I was reading on it a few days ago.. he's been "consulting" in the college baseball space this year. He turned down USC and someone I asked said declining that job and moving from Texas seemed like he wanted to position himself to land a high profile job this off-season and prepare for that. USC...

I'm sure. I don't think finances or commitment to fixing it is going to be any issue which may attract someone like Dan McDonnell from what he's dealing with at Louisville. I'd certainly go that direction if it was open to happening or someone along those same lines. The tricky part will be...

I saw Neto the summer before his senior year and knew he was a good player but never thought he’d be what he is now. Guys slip through the cracks. I’ve been more concerned with identifying and developing arms. Neto would have been nice to have but can’t fault them there.

Justin Haire I'd add in as a stand-up double. 5 straight conference titles, 4 of 5 doubled as tournament champs. 5 straight regionals. Going the small school route he'd probably be my top choice aside from someone like Cliff Godwin who I assume just won't leave ECU. Jim Penders (if he would...

I watched Ankiel throw 98 about 8 feet up the backstop wall in Johnson City. Had no idea where it was going. I was a young kid back in those days.

I may be reasonable but I also wear my orange and green glasses. I'm a Cardinals fan so Jon Jay is like a baseball icon for me. A legit staple in my fandom for a decade. I lived in Johnson City, TN and we had St. Louis's rookie league team the Johnson City Cardinals. You have no idea how...

I'm a Cardinals fan but I liked the Rockies as my 2nd team back then because Todd Helton fully sponsored our travel team and paid our way into Braves games and took us down on the field pre-game and all that. His nephew was on the team but he paid every penny for everyone.. like $40k a year for...

This year only that I know off. He would have about 70 games under his belt coaching first base. Good enough for me. Guys from MLB staffs rarely make the transition to college. If the Marlins keep improving he'll be a HC in the majors in 3-5 years. He fits the Schumaker, Cora, Counsell...
