Logan Tibbett and Gage Peterson (JUCO) signed in the fall. Are those 2 still signed to us? I don’t see them in the posts above.
So if that’s the kid from Oklahoma, then yes he is no longer committed and chose elsewhere. And I’m pretty sure the other guy was the one that signed with Georgia Southern.

That’s why I prefaced “I hope you’re right” in an earlier post. They are trying to sign a couple more junior college pitchers late

Are these the signees? Were signed to us in the fall. Huge bummer if we lost these.
If these were the two guys playing in the junior college World Series, then yes they aren’t coming.
Interesting. 247 account says those 2 JUCO signees are still signed with App from the fall.
Not sure if true or not, guess we will find out if Tibbett and Peterson show up in the coming weeks.

Whoever was pitching in the junior college World Series this past month are the players that are not coming.

Dangit, 247 might not be right then. Was looking forward to seeing Gage Peterson pitch from Walter’s State. He was signed with us and tore up JuCo and did well in the JuCo world series. Do you know how he got out of his NLI?

Shoot, we had 2 signed that played in the JuCo world series. Dupont and Peterson.

Someone is going to Oklahoma and the other stink. Guess they had OV'd a couple of weeks ago but APP got out NIL'd and what not. Honestly I'd pick Oklahoma over APP if all things we equal.

Have you seen anything official about Tibbett? I haven't seen anything yet unless I missed it.

I should have said recently. Until NIL/NLI is signed I'm apprehensive.

Oh, I did not know that you were talking about uncommitted guys-had no clue we hosted anyone recently.

I was asking about the 2 pitchers that we signed back in the fall from JUCO and if they’re still signed because Moose hadn’t posted about them yet. 1 just so happened to pitch in the world series. Hahaha I was lost for a while there.

247 says those 2, Tibbett and Peterson are still signed (feel like he’s trustworthy on that kinda stuff). That should help with pitching but we still need more. Would have been nice to land those on the OVs a couple weeks ago.
And not have JJ garcia bail on his NLI for Stink.

Looks like this was the potential recruit that went with OU. Sits 94-97. Whew. All our coaches follow him

Just curious - How much $$ is there for NIL deals for baseball? More or less than 50,000? Have they said if they are allotting more scholarships?

Are you sure Garcia isn’t going to App? The way I read the 247 post was that the other two guys who were visiting along with him are the ones not coming. Garcia hasn’t mentioned anything about GS on his twitter timeline.

Garcia is going to APP. It is the other 2 going somewhere else. That's how I read it.

Last I heard we have $0 NIL for baseball. Meanwhile Coastal has a couple hundred grand. Not sure how people expect to compete against that.

Not App baseball related but a rival school UNCC might have some issues at hand.



No clue who this person is but red flag being raised for the UNCC program. Or either she’s a pissed off Mom with a son on the team. Usually the 2nd scenario.

Her profile says she’s a “Breatheology breath instructor” so that must be worth something…like a degree people get in world musicology or anti-extremism puppet theatre.

She probably thinks we should all pick up the tab of her student loans she took out to get that super valuable degree. :lol:

FWIW, a ton of good guys and athletes in the industry follow her. Coach Pollard, our old pitching coach to name a couple.

This one is just odd. No proof but interesting at the least. Not a good look either way, true or not.

UNCC baseball has been a revolving door of transfers since this staff took over, ever before NIL and the Portal took off.
