If they name a permanent location, there's no need for shopping it every year and seeing what they can get. And I'm not saying what they can get personally in this situation because I have no idea. But that's how a lot of stuff works.

If so, it was before my time.

Back in the conference days, there was one in the east-central area (ECAC was name) that included Cumberland, Mathiston, Mabben, Sturgis, Weir, Durant. Other teams that still exist for now - Ethel, Noxapater, Nanih Waiya. They turned out a pretty good number of D1 players for 1A schools mostly in the late 70's and 80's.

Didn't we all expect NIL/transfer was coming to high school legal or not?

Yes, the only positive over football, maybe, is you don't physically destroy each other in baseball. Maybe it makes you better by tournament time, but makes it harder to receive favorable seeding.

And this is why I can't commit as a baseball fan any more than I do. The game is just too fickle. I understand being young, lots of new players, but that's basically what it is for everybody now. All three teams may well still end with successful seasons, but the road to get there is hard to watch. All we have for now is the old saying, "you are what your record says you are".

Yes, but were they ever seriously considering anything but the draft?

Too bad the new Pirates shortstop isn't a sophomore at MSU.

State was fortunate not to have more damage in the 8 walks game. That can get ugly quick and you won't always overcome it.

Seeing some Facebook posts about Bianco having some pretty strong words about how the games were called and played. Is that real at all or just fake?

Hasn't catcher been somewhat of an issue on and off for several years?

Sounds like it may be at a standstill. They may have to name an interim, have spring practice, and wait for the contracts to end/start.

Like it or not, it's here. Just like college, this has been going on to some extent for a long time. Now we're saying it's legal.

I can see both sides on a lot of these. For example, vouchers for students already in private schools may be targeted towards students from a struggling public school district that have already transferred and are struggling to pay. It is based on financial need, isn't it? It's hard to imagine the whole thing won't be corrupted I would concede.

First time head coach, right? It's hard to say exactly what to expect. Defensive background so what are your thoughts on OC? It seems most were expecting a more established name.
