OK. In addition to the multiple HS offers we extended today and that I've been working on all afternoon I now have updated and added the transfer and JUCO commits. Sorry for the delay but it's taken me over an hour just to get Rondarius Porter correctly updated. And Mbake was signed to WKU on 4/15 ...

Punter from University of Texas !!

By way of Marshall.

Read where his agents are looking at other options.

There are about 5-6 that entered the portal today. Most I assume with suggestion from the staff.

Won it with a grand slam in the bottom of the 7th.

Sit at 6-2 in Belt play.

But 53% from the field is good. What is his FT%?

NVM…just saw it …41%

Think conference is rated about right. Unlikely to get multiple at-large bids. Much of the season last year the Belt had 6-8 teams in top 100 RPI…. not this year. Apps cannot win on the road and does not do well against the higher rated schools… not a good mix. If the season were to end today, I wo...

I notice at https://www.warrennolan.com/baseball/2025/index that the Sun Belt is ranked as the 9th best conference, several spots off from last season. We are at 190 in RPI, ahead of only ULM and Arkansas State.

Have been a Cubs fan my whole life. In 1963 we went to visit my uncle who lived in Elmhurst. We went to the crosstown exhibition between the White Sox and Cubs in Comiskey and the next day we saw the Cubs and Mets in Wrigley. My childhood hero Ernie Banks, doubled off the Ivy in left.

Not being able to bunt drives me INSANE.

I know the game has changed some, but there is always a time and place for a well placed bunt. Not being able to bunt almost cost us a game in the Texas St series as well. It’s. Not. That. Hard.

GO APPS!!

Louisiana has 21 sac bunts, we have 3.

Going to be devastating to blow a 7-0 lead.

Semi wanted to go 9 to burn 2 more of their arms for tomorrow and Sunday. Didn’t get to watch much tonight but saw the Uniforms… What did y’all think about the new uni’s and black pants? Not a fan on black pants really but somehow we pulled it off. Black Friday? Thought it was Black Saturday? Looke...

If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it then did it really happen? A much better atmosphere than the Sun Belt championship. And, to boot their semis were nationally televised as well. I will say last night's SBC title game was one of the better atmospheres there have been in Pen...

Looks like Troy & Arkansas St playing for a bid. As much as it sucks not to see App there both these teams will be good representatives. I feel like the new Sunbelt format worked as intended. It's not as though any of the underdogs won four straight only to lose last night... Now if they can just s...

Yes. He was on the committee last year. I am told he made no argument for us. Granted it was not in the cards but who is paying his salary?

Kind of hard to justify our getting in after losing in the semifinals.

Someone who knows Gill professionally describes him as “handsome but slow”. The conference has and is slipping , falling behind. I’m told he has a couple of strong supporters among the league’s CEOs that deflect any criticism of him. Until that changes, its unlikely the trajectory will. He will be ...
