    MLB Draft Talk (July 13th 6pm EDT & July 14th 11:30am EDT)

    Championships are won with a mixture of leadership and talent. But talented players are rarely true leaders. I’ve noticed the players that fans think are leaders by their play on the field are rarely leaders in the dugout. Many times their drama is polarizing but you need both talent and...

    Play Player's coach (they will do anything he asks because he does a great job of building relationships in recruiting. No BS like it or not), best recruiter in the business, understands how to surround himself with good guys (Frank being the perfect example from day one. Many young coaches...

    Lemonis got fired because he only won with someone else's recruits and then could not win with his. That is the key in college. Not what you do early on but can you recruit and win with your recruits. Those who can't trade jobs often so no one realizes it. Also knowing your strengths and...

    Liam Spence: Killing It in Banana Ball

    I love the concept but it is becoming a dance off rather than a baseball game. I was a huge fan of the earlier version when they started and just had the new rules but now it is not about baseball but dancing and stuff.

    I agree. Some don't want to go to class for 3 years. The underwater basketweaving stuff is gone. You have to go to class as a freshman and be making grades along with staying in the dorms and going to tutoring every day your entire freshman year. That just does not appeal to some. TV does...

    Liam Spence: Killing It in Banana Ball

    I was a fan but they are moving away from family friendly with their songs and antics. Trying to gain followers which they don't need to do when they can just do what they do.

    Hall did not think he was going to go that high. He was on campus this week. Classes and all

    There is no removing your name from the draft in baseball. They can draft any person eligible age/grade-wise they choose. You do not sign up for the draft like basketball or football. So you do sign up or remove your name. There have been guys drafted in the past that had no intentions of going.

    Zane Denton Sighting

    According to most on here he is not a VFL. Didn't finish his career here. He actually played a little with Bananas, I heard. Great guy.

    Roster Construction 2026

    I think you will find players go both ways now like you used to see in football. Coaches will build stronger relationships with juco's and start sending their future players there for a year to develop and then they move to the P4 schools. It will be interesting. I can't imagine being a...

    Roster Construction 2026

    The sad part is that coaches don't know until mid-August whether guys are signing with pros to know if they are coming or not.

    Chase Burns tipping pitches?

    There have been several that tipped pitches at UT. Lots of HS guys do it and many college. You can't get by with it in pros. Too many people looking for an advantage and the good ones see everything. I loved last year on a weekend ESPN game when the crew for college baseball called about 10...

    Lindsey Nelson Stadium,

    Our infield looks the way it does because it was state of the art when it was done and we were one of the very first to get it. There were very few options on colors back then. When you get the newest and best, the options are lower.
