    Draft

    Given that his brother Mark has been through this process before, he should get good counsel on whether to sign low w/ SF or come back to UofL and try to improve stock for next year.

    Mac’s complaint about facilities isn’t BS.

    Per several Twitter sources (quote from Demling below) this morning: The finance committee of the ULAA Board just approved authorization for U of L athletics to move forward with $3 million renovation to Jim Patterson Stadium. Will be renovations to locker room, training room, workout areas...

    Transfer portal

    Oversimplifying but here's my take: Recruit HS talent 1st. They have a very good history and lots of experience. A - if the talent continues to get better, you can lose those guys to MLB draft B - If they get to campus, there is a wider range of "panning out" at the next level; just look at...

    Smith would be understandable. He may think he's not been given enough of a chance to perform. Hawkins - I think he was given ample opportunity and simply didn't get it done at the plate. Humphrey - this would surprise me. He was given more chances to show at least the form he did as a FR this...

    Interesting, I heard his comments a different way. I heard him admit that some players are already 1 foot out the door and, as a coach, you gotta help them find the right fit for them. I also heard that he will have to fill those spots and the portal was a way to do that. I do think he...

    Mac’s complaint about facilities isn’t BS.

    You did watch the full interview on YouTube and not just the snippets most focused on, right? He did exactly what you asked for. The 1st 13 of 15 minutes is a focus on the season, what went wrong, how to fix it, taking responsibility, etc. When ASKED about other jobs, he answered. He didn't...

    Mac’s complaint about facilities isn’t BS.

    To be fair, McD did not bring up the facilities / commitment. He was asked a Q after their last game and he answered it. Was he prepared with that answer, of course. However, he didn't start the presser with that topic. In fact, he spent a ton of time blaming himself and the coaches for how the...

    Mac’s complaint about facilities isn’t BS.

    "never came close to challenging for a world series title" is just plain wrong. By your logic, FSU should have moved on from Mike Martin well before he retired. You like what's happened down there since his departure? A - any team that makes it to Omaha (which he's done 5x) IS challenging for...

    Mac’s complaint about facilities isn’t BS.

    Technically 2 games away as they lost both at A&M and needed to win 2, but I agree with your point. The fact that both games were 1 run games where A&M scored the winning run in the 9th both times shows there was very little margin keeping UofL from being in Omaha in 2022.

    Perfect example. Who else do you want up with Humphrey on 2B and no outs tied? Knap - get the bunt down and let Benson try to get him home with less than 2 outs. Take a strike. Offer weakly at the next pitch while trying to pull back. Backwards K. Wow!

    Win at least 5 of last 7 (incl 4/6 ACC), have FSU + 1 other team finish below them (very possible), show well in ACC Tourney, get stuck in UK's regional and raise some hell. Gotta dream.

    Mangrum pinch ran for Beard.
