4 of the top 13 picks have been Vols. I think this Tony guy is going to be a pretty good coach one day!

His comments on the kids are phenomenal. You can tell how impressed the mlb guys are with Tony. His commentary is spot on.

 

[CobbWebb71]

I feel ya 52, but we have to admit that’s a good landing spot.

 

[vol66]

If ya think about it…pretty nuts…any other baseball coach could be sitting up there…but…He’s Our Baseball Coach!!!

Knoxville is so blessed.

I think they watch his pre game/post game interviews and say “we gotta have this guy on here”. The detail the guy has with every game and all of the dissecting he does is incredible. Tons of knowledge.

How does losing these guys impact recruiting, does it open the door to players on other teams maybe switching to UT or has that ship sailed for the 2026 season?

Really doesn’t. No one really expected these kids on campus. Top 15 are gone 99.9% of the time.

I am sure LSU fans are salty. They just won a CWS and their coach isn’t on the show.

 

[CobbWebb71]

I remember just a few years ago, it was all Corbin in the early round.

 

[knoxvol52]

Newsflash,Red Sox didn't take a SS...

I ain’t trying to start nothin’!

If anything it gives Tony V and staff more street cred and bragging rights.
Maybe early in the recruitment process you are locked in but I think once you realize these kids are becoming early round prospects, you kinda pivot and recruit around them so to speak.

CTV is crushing it per usual. And we have Chris Burke on ESPN. Gotta love it.

Of course they were the first squad NOT to draft a SS in the draft that was ALL SS’s!!

 

[MAD]

Reds.
I can still name the '76 batting order.

That was one of the best squads of all time

Crap Just realized I'm watching espn instead of MLB Network trying to figure out why CTV wasn't on.

 

[taylorvol]

Wonder what the Wake Coach thinks of this pick….

Fischer will be drafted soon.

The 1986 Mets were good for using at least 1 kilo a night, whether they needed it or not..

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’ve officially entered Schoolcraft danger zone. Buckle up.

 

[MAD]

I hate the Giants

We all do which usually means they are a good organization.

 

[Christian Lowe]

The 1986 Mets set good for using at least 1 kilo a night, whether they needed it or not..

hey now, it wasn't a kilo... they liked amphetamines too

Burkie is on ESPn

That’s a hell of a feat, when you can be coke’d out of your mind for an entire season and win a World Series!
