    Baseball head coach short list

    I like ML.....but this is a great point. Our program is too rich in history not to shoot for the stars with this coaching hire. The last couple were lackluster IMO (and I was saying that at the beginning of their tenures). Kevin Schnall Chris Lemonis Cliff Godwin Second Tier: Tom Walter...

    Baseball 5A/6A Baseball 2026

    He won't be there too long. I don't know about demographics....they just don't have anybody who can play baseball. There are all kinds of "demographics" who can play baseball. I think the school itself being unstable is a big reason baseball has fallen off a shelf over there. He has half the...

    Kendal Briles

    It is true....a whole lot of the sports program is beyond disappointing. Baseball and men's basketball are gut-wrenching. But - I think we are sitting on something explosive with K. Briles. If you've been on here a while you know I personally wanted him considered for OC (and future HC) by our...

    Baseball

    Agree with that too....but it was still a golden parachute for all. They all got paid well, they had zero expectations/pressure and a "nothing but up" situation and yes they could all still coach but each one of them came to USC as other bigger things were happening in the respective sports...

    Transfers to weaker opponents???

    If you can't coach, then you'd better recruit great I always say.

    What in the hell has happened to Marcus Lattimore?

    and the fans continued to treat him exactly the same way as an EX football player....which was pure adulation. Nobody was "getting anything" out of him once he was done at USC. So....the football fans/alumni/anybody associated with Carolina aren't the problem. They didn't abandon him. His west...

    You gotta be kidding.

    NC has great baseball. I would like to point Manieri to the state and remind him to go get some of those guys. Huge population. The state contributes to all the many D1-D3 to Juco and NAIA programs with good to great players. This is an example of having baseball players wanting to compete but...

    Gamecocks baseball history made vs Queens

    LOL- I want to agree with you....but don't think that's possible. I really think Kingston set us on this path more than any other piece in the puzzle including ADs.

    Coaching question

    Here is my reason: in the last 40 years you have to say we are baseball over basketball program when compared. Given the extreme highs of baseball, it can be argued we are a "baseball school" if a definition must be applied. You just can't hire over the hill coaches ESPECIALLY in an era of...

    Transfers to weaker opponents???

    well are you saying that there was a lot of great defense in the 3a-4a leagues this year? Everyone saw the Shelby state champ. game. Was that opponent really the second best team in the state at that level? I guess Bandys, at .500, was a powerhouse too this year? Either way.... my 1 or 2...

    2026 5a Contenders

    I wasn't aware SP played basketball honestly. I equate basketball right up there with winter ice curling. You miss the point / misdirect as usual though. I guarantee you nobody in Belmont is recruiting basketball players. Also, if they're wanting to go to a top basketball school.... SP is the...

    Transfers to weaker opponents???

    Schedule them and find out. Shelby has never been scared before. Don't get scared now.

    So...99% on the 5a/6a page then, right? I don't have time to "research". I have a job. What do you consider bashing SC? Stating the truth? Again...you're on a 5a/6a board. I'm sure if you go research the % of your time/responses here vs. 3a/4a it will tell the tale. I do love how SP is scared of...

    2026 5a Contenders

    Go do your search and see if these conversations occurred on a 5a/6a board or somewhere else. Everybody in Gaston Co. and abroad knows SC and their backers are obsessed with SP through the lens of their inferiority complex.

    2026 5a Contenders

    Slightly Disagree. Over the last 10 years pass offenses (who know what they're doing) can maintain ball possession despite clock possession. Points win games (the lack of or plenty of). Teams that can't hold onto the ball lose games. Is an INT by pass offense worse than a lost fumble by run...
