Posted via VolNation Mobile | you're kidding me right? you obviously didn't listen to his radio interview... you know, the one when he flat out said he wasn't going to go to UT until Dave came along. |

Also said that Vandy and Louisville were after him as well. So that would make two guys that Vandy was after that we got and yet we aren't going to be able to compete with them even though we are after the same guys?
Brilliant. | |

Seems pretty solid to Vandy though. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

Adam Giacalone is a pitcher/first baseman who was a JUCO All-American last season and throws from the right side.
He went 10-1 with a 2.10 ERA in 83 1/3 innings for Neosho Community College last season. He also struck out 83 and walked 14 and teams hit him at a .229 clip.
Giacalone batted .396 with 18 home runs and 102 RBIs.
Giacalone was courted by several programs, such as TCU, Texas A&M, LSU, Auburn and Nebraska, among others. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

| Looks like Adam Giacalone is correct based on his twitter feed. https://twitter.com/#!/adamgiacalone
That means Serrano got 3 JUCO commits in the last week, and one is considered in the top in the nation. Exciting! | |

I LOVE baseball, I use to go to A LOT of the games when Delmonico was here then stopped when Raleigh came (couldn't stand him). I can't wait for the season to start, Serrano was a HOMERUN hire.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Yea. Ironically, I wasn't really a fan until '09. I was at every home game Raleigh's middle two years, knowing how much the kids needed support; feeling their pain, having been down there in '08. I couldn't make it to a game last season. Just didn't have the stomach to continue to watch the train wreck.
To see this program be headed back where it belongs, means the world to me. And I don't want to imply that a Serrano run program guarantees wins. What I mean is that he will demand respect from everyone in the country in every aspect of college baseball. That is what matters to me. Serrano gets it. He has made me feel more welcome in this baseball program now than I did as a PLAYER under Raleigh. Waaay more welcome. That means so much to me specifically, but it also has huge implications for everyone who wants to be a part of this program. You will be welcomed with open arms now and in the future. Fans, players, donors. Nothing goes unnoticed. That is HUGE. I am so happy with this staff. | |
