Well that was fun.
What we learned:
- Riley has been hired as lowly assistant for Casey.
- Riley has been hired as a lowly assistant for Tinkle.
- Riley has been hired as a lowly assistant for Barnes.
- Riley has been hired as a lowly assistant for Smith.
- Rueck hates Riley.
Go Beavs!
First in the thread and first in your hearts!
You must have a rich fantasy life, beaver gopher — enjoy it!
That’s what she said.
I can’t believe a super model is talking to me on a blog!
Where else would one talk to any of us?
I talk to one on another blog all the time.
She’s Canadian.
What’s his name?
Um… Ripper.
?
Nova favored by 7–thoughts? I’m going to play the Square” bet and go in with Nova…the quality of teams they have beaten in the tourney are far superior to Michigan’s run. always shaky to gamble on how the teams last played, but feel Nova is a class above in this game.
Off that topic…who gives Tiger ANY chance to win the Masters? Reason I ask–need to lay $1,800 to win $100 on the premise that anyone other than Tiger wins.
I think that’s a good bet. Someone is doing very well (97%+) in the AB tourney challenge.
6. Jack is still a bigot.
Maybe he needs to hire Riley as a life coach.
Or the other way around?
Screw that.
Anything I pay him would reduce what Nebby pays him. I’m not going to subsidize their stupidity.
Besides, I can find some other mediocrity who at least acts with honor and loyalty and wouldn’t quit on me.
Please daddy!
Please can we have some food after this beating? I promise to open your beer before I deliver it to you on the couch next time. I should know better than to disappoint you when you’re on one of your drunk delusions. That’s why mommy left… um… ran away… um… died and is no longer with us.
I do not understand this recent abusive father obsession of yours
Putz wants to make up shit, I will comply. His fantasy is his butthurt. My fantasy is that he’s an abusive father who was abused by his father and blames his mother for allowing it to happen, for his sisters ending up in porn, for his brother ending up in rehab and never talking to the family… and for his continuance of the cycle of abuse by beating on his own family so badly that his wife faked her death and left the kids just to get away from him.
I haven’t touched the subject of her getting an abortion (maybe two) so he couldn’t spawn any more abusers.
If his fantasies are valid, so are mine.
UNBELIEVABLE INEPTITUDE!!!!!
CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!
THE COMING FALL 2016 VFC BANNER REMAINS IN PLACE AND UNTOUCHED!!!
DESPITE SCREAMS FROM THE FANBASE FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS TO BRING IT DOWN!
THIS IS GARBAGE A 1st Grade Substitute Teacher could get right!
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH OSU that they IGNORE THE OBVIOUS????
AMATEUR HOUR going on for close to 2 years now!
Its keeping the water from coming into the building. Would you rather have poorly tied down blue tarps? Gosh!
*yawn*
You done?
I feel like you need to be updated.
OSU just re-rehired Bike Smiley.
Chumps were in place far beyond your cutesy two year tartan yawn. OSU has been building the dumb for 15 years.
You don’t ask chumps to pay attention to detail. They’re rapt in some fantastical upside-down denial.
Gambrell gets the start tonight
Anderson double scores 1 1-0 b2
Good news.
Will be at the April 14th Spring practice at Mountainside High School in Beaverton, OR and will be writing up an Angrybeav’s first in-depth practice report of the season for it. I’ll be paying close attention to the big Purple Gnat..aka Riles..and seeing just how much his attitude has spread amongst the players and coaches. Also will be paying close attention to receivers to see if OSU has much depth after Hodgins.
Looking to see if a Jonathan Smith led team has a clearly different personality and if players are there to maximize the practice opportunity and seem intent on a real turn around in 2018 and going bowling. We shall see. All I know for sure right now is Nebraska had a major upgrade at HC. Hoping to clear some of the mystery of this OSU team after seeing them in person. Am happy about the Mountainside High appearance. Beautiful facility and perfect place to watch a practice on a sunny spring day for Portland Metro area Beavs.
Haha, you said “sunny spring day”. April Fools day was yesterday.
I hope to be able to make it as well!
(No plans on writing anything here, however, unless people really would want it.)
Thru 3.5, its tied at 1 apiece. Gambrell not as effective second time through the order, hits two in the inning.
Free stream by the school:
http://pac-12.com/live/pac-12-plus
Beavers have not been as good at the plate the 2nd time around either
Anybody listen to Smith on Canzano’s radio show today?
Curious for the cliff notes because i wont bother clicking on his links. From what little I’ve seen on twitter, sounds like they talked about OSU football and……..Mike Riley…..sigh…….
Didn’t hear either interview,he was also on 620am new program fentress and james (both duck honks)
Nevada up 2-1
Beavs leave 3 to close out the 6th; have left 7 so far.
Andy Jenkins, in the first inning, mistakenly sent Kwan. Second time in the last few games he has done that.
Still 2-1
Larnach seems like he’s turning into one of those all or nothing guys.. either hit it a mile out of the yard or strike out on 4 pitches like he just did
Nevada leaves 3 on in the t8, Mulholland (4th arm tonight for the Beavs) not exactly making it look easy but getting the job done so far. Still 2-1.
Kwan single drives in one 2-2 b9 with winning run on first
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EnsUeR2MyI
ties it up with a RBI single
Kwwaaaaaan, RBI single with one down in b9, ties it up at 2.
to extras
Dropped routine fly ball to center by NV and Beavs win 3-2!
Clutchman wins it on a dropped fly ball with the bases loaded lol 3-2 final
Beavs pulled this one out from deep within their ass.
Nevada CF drops an gimme popup off Adley’s bat with 2 outs and bases loaded.
Beavs win 3-2
11 inning walk off.
Luck o’ the Beavs turns good tonight, benefiting from BB’s, HBP’s, and outfield errors.
Mulholland barely does the job, facing 15 and hitting 2, giving 1 BB and a WP. Gets a single K and gives up a hit, BUT no runs.
Clutchman and Larnach combined go 0 for 11.
Ok, with that dropped ball by Nevada, maybe we can hit 31 wins
Whiskey was in attendance last night………….my shitty observations,
Nevada is not a bad team.
WTF what Andy Jenkins(pretty sure he was the 3rd base coach) thinking sending the runner all the way from first in the first inning? There was no fucking way he was going to score the run. Hold the runner at third and you’ve got runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Stupid decision that potentially cost them.
Why in the fuck can this team no longer hit? 4 measly hits in a midweek game against a MWC team in 8 innings before Grenier and Kwan tied it up in the 9th. Ridiculous. Too many pitches taken for strikes. You’re a top 10 team allegedly. Hit like it.
I thought Gambrell did well enough to garner another start.
Too much fishing for swings. Gambrell pitched to contact early and despite some solid contact the defense did their job. Not enough throwing strikes and trusting your teammates behind you. I can see why the coaches might be frustrated.
Where is Eisert? Hurt? Doghouse????
It got fucking cold.
There are some beaver fans that seriously should shut the fuck up. I get heckling but it’s pretty hard to argue balls and strikes from way down the first or third base line.
Nevada played well enough to win and gave the game away. Beavs were seriously lucky to win this one.
One correction, if Kwan stays at 3b in the first there’s 2 RISP with NOBODY out. And he was out by a mile and a half. Didn’t even bother trying to slide.
Rumor is Casey considering moving Smilin’ Mike into Jenkins spot at third; pretty sure he’d not be aggressive (or attentive) enough to wave ANYONE on to the plate!
Thanks for the correction. I couldn’t remember if there was no outs or one out. I just remembered that the last two outs were ground outs to the first basemen with a runner on third. Threw away at least one run that inning. Still don’t know WTF Jenkins was thinking sending Kwan all the way from first base.
Maybe I’ve gotten spoiled by previous years starters but Gambrell always looks like he’s trying to lose. How can he be the best option?? And if he is the best option this is not a sure fire CWS team, just another college team, warts and all.
Turned it off after the 8th. Can’t believe they won.
WTF is with the hit batters this year? They have to have more already this year than all of last year.
Larnach is back to trying to pull everything and over swinging.
Jenkins screwed the pooch in the first.
Wolfpack specializes in getting HBP, had a couple instances where ump wasn’t buying it last night. In 25 games the pack has 43 HBP, compared to the Beavs 22 HBP in 26 games.
EDIT/ADD: Looked up Beavs pitching performance re:HBP, last season 62games/29HBP thrown. So far this year: 26games/28HBP.
BTW: Individual cumulative stats are on the team website, were they missing for awhile? Or was that game by game?
You can’t believe they won? This from Mulholland on Adley’s “game winner”: “I was running out to take the mound,” Mulholland said after the ball left Rutschman’s bat. “There was no way he was dropping that!”
The 3rd baseman for Nevada certainly leaned into that first HBP and the umpire rightfully called him back to the batters box. The 2nd time he got plunked (by Mulholland) I honestly couldn’t tell if he leaned into that one or not so I can’t form an opinion on it one way or another. The fans that were left got on him and the ump pretty hard after that 2nd HBP.
OT: Climate change sucks. I wish they would bring back global warming.
Visit Australia.
Derp!
Darwin!
Barney?
Don’t worry, we’re all gonna drown soon.
Too many moving parts to make that claim. We could die of thirst first.

I wonder how the lost concentration of weight (and corresponding distribution across the globe) on the southern pole affects tectonics and what makes the earth go round.
https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2428/study-solves-two-mysteries-about-wobbling-earth/
But then… I live in a major subduction zone. I’ll probably look like a Pompeiian when all is said and done.
This is always fun to look at… and speculate for future real estate purchases.
https://coast.noaa.gov/slr/
Indeed, we could die of thirst first. It is worth noting, though, that the world consumes half of much water as it did about half a century ago, because of advances in ag sciences (thanks OSU!)
Rather than feasting on livestock, we may have to start eating bugs. That doesn’t bother me much.
But we drink twice as much beer.
Beer is mostly water. Does that count?
I can live with bugs. The rest of the world eats them anyway.
And beer… beer is good too.
Thanks OSU!
Beavs add Matt Moore’s little brother to the roster, as a walk on QB
https://twitter.com/BeaverFootball/status/981239846889865216?s=19
Do you have baseball recruiting info?
Matt Moore’s Brother is a QB as well? And now a Beaver?
That sure sounds like a neat deal to me.
Improvements to Gill
http://osubeavers.com/news/2018/4/3/mens-basketball-center-hung-video-board-highlights-gill-enhancements.aspx
The big improvement will be the lighting. Instead of drop lights they’ll have led lighting. Which can turn off and on like house lights.
The other thing will be, the look on TV should be dramatically improved. Gill looks fine in person but some tv cameras can really distort the lighting in Gill. Makes the court darker when it’s a lighter color.
Hopefully they’ll do it similar to the lakers. Lights pointed at the court are brighter.
The lighting and sound are what have been needed for eons. Looking at it on TV, I always think it looks as dim as the days when everything was stained with various tars from various smokes.
I suppose I’ll get used to a center hung board?
Webcam will be fun to look at
Brandin Cooks traded to the LA Rams
I really thought Cooks would be a long term Patriot especially surprised though with what Brady and Belichick had to say about him on the way out and that they didn’t like him apparently.
Goff looked good last year though and hopefully he can try to resurrect his career in LA.
They said they didn’t like him?
headcase
Yeah… it has nothing to do with the open drama between QB, Owner and head coach.
He must be the headcase.
In the Miami game last year Cooks didn’t even fight for the ball on 2 of the INTs. Definitely something going on behind the scenes.
Guess you can have a good season but have a bad game in a super bowl and you’re gone. Short leash! Sad!
Bad game?
More like have his head knocked off.
Jordon Britton gets the start today
Is there another live stream link besides facebook? Faceboom wont play on my mobile without installing their app first
http://pac-12.com/live/pac-12-plus
Sweet, thanks!
Britton allows 2 homers 3-0 t4 nevada
And he is pulled for Abel
And Abel serves up a 2-run meat pitch.
Jesus fucking Christ. Nothing but walks and now 3 home runs in an inning?
WTF is wrong with these clowns??? Go from being ranked number 1 to can’t pitch, can’t hit in just over a week?
It’s a marketing ploy.
We’re setting it up so all the talk will be about how Nick deserves the Golden Spikes at the end of the season.
Get Abel out of there. He’s been nothing short of steaming garbage
And Abel allows a 2 run shot 5-0
Something major happened after that first washington game, i have never seen a team look unbeatable to utterly pathetic in a matter of a week.
When did the removal of the stats from the website happen? Not sure if there’s a connection, but would be interested to know
Interesting thought. Not sure when stats went away, but the cumulative stats by player were on the team site yesterday.
It happened a few days before the UW series
Gretler double scores 1 5-1 b6 with men of 3rd and 2nd
Nobach sac fly scores another 5-2
Kwan drives in Greiner 5-3 b7
Grenier doubles down the line and Kwan singles him home, 5-3
Kwwaaaan, RBI single makes it 5-3 nobody out in the b7
Wart alert, Andy Armstrong SAC bunt to move Kwan to 2nd; avoided the possibility of DP but questionable with Kwan on base.
Brings up Adley with Kwan at 2b and one out.
they send Kwan again from third to home and he is gun down to make it two outs one on
Andy Jenkins makes another poor decision sending Kwan and he gets thrown out at home after a adley single
Per Lundberg, Kwan ran through a stop sign.
Give him a ticket.
Bob lundeberg on twitter said that he ran through the stop sign
Per Lundberg, Kwan ran through a stop sign. Not the case?
Lundberg is saying Jenkins had the “stop” signal up for Kwan, but Kwan went ahead to home.
Whoops…
Funny, 4 of us are apparently following Lunberg
He is worth following.
Guess there was a stop he ran through lol. I’m following the game on the live stats feed and I just assumed based on last night lol
Bad vibe, running through stop sign after last night. Time for a team and coaches meeting w/o Casey-Bailey-Yeskie??
Cooks to the Rams…the Rams are looking to capitalize and make a run for the championship. I’m no fan of cheap shot artist Suh, but LA looks very formidable now. And if teams were going to game plan for Goff after a stellar second season, it just got more challenging.
Best of luck to Cooks. He’s had the “Luck O’ Da Beavers” so far, playing for HOF QB Brees when NO was down defensively, he got a concussion in a rare NE Super Bowl loss….I hope he gets a ring in LA.
I don’t care a great deal for NFL, but I’ll be pulling for the Rams. I used to like Seattle, but it was like success went to their (fans) heads, and Carrol is not somebody I respect. Looking like a power shift back down south to the Rams and maybe the Niners if they can build around their new QB.
hey that guy gets it the wrath of Kwan nice
4 pitch bases loaded walk 5-4 with Armstrong up
Another walk tied at 5 with 3 for 3 Clutchman up
3rd straight walk beavs take lead 6-5
wow three runs on three walks wow talk about wheels coming off
make that 4
How in the world do they lay off pitches that close?
4th straight
1 hit, 6 BB’s net the Beavs a 4 run b8, 7-5 Beavs on to the t9.
Not to offend any of the women here, but that seems the definition of a “kiss your sister” rally.
Nevada handing us the game back in the late innings again. What was that 5 or 6 straight walks? And Jones likely would have walked if he didn’t swing at strike 2.
Beavs are getting gifts in these 2 games. Nevada has to be pissed
5
Interesting…Heimlich into close the game
and Nevada ties it at 7
Three hits off of Luke; faced 5 batters.
On to the b9 tied up.
Poor Nevada CF dives and misses and Clutchman hits a inside the park walkoff homer
Last two nights for that guy have been a clinic of how not to play outfield.. squeeze the ball with 2 hands and keep it in front in that last situation. No need to dive and be a hero with 2 out and no one on
Shoulda picked it up on one hop for a single
Holy shit
Wow….Adley Rutschman inside the park HR to win the game in B10. UnBeaverable!
So this game ends on an inside the park home run by the catcher/1st basemen WTF
My damn phone battery died just after Kwan got out and I missed Adley’s homer….
Just a wild guess, it’ll be on highlights somewhere!!
CF dives for the line drive but misses and ball goes to the fence and Adley runs the bases to score….there you go. The crowd goes crazy……
Link to Adley’s game winner. Pretty nuts that he was arguably our worst hitter in the lineup last year and now he’s the most dependable.
https://twitter.com/BeaverBaseball/status/981389464571400192?s=19
The last half of the season he was one of the Beavers best hitters…with timely hit after timely hit.
Luke gets the win. Faced 8, gave up 3 hits and 2 ER. 2K’s, 30 pitches.
Vulture win!
Eggers up with stories on the Beavs baseball:
-Madrigal says 6-8 weeks was always the timetable. He could miss the series with nike u.
-Larnach calls joining the OSU program “the best decision of my life, by far.”
-Casey says, “We didn’t play well at all.” vs Utah
-Darwin Barney…pro career over??
Four stories from Eggers in just a couple days, how long till he cycles back?

The straight talk is nice. I have to believe he knows he’s still responsible for the kids who get to go civvy. Their academic progress still counts against the team. That’s why Saban medically retires a lot of kids and finds transfer locations for a lot more.
But from a football standpoint, it’s that much more efficient to not have the around in practice.
Can the players he cuts, come play for OSU?
San Jose Mercury news with the bleak season preview for Oregon State football. Funny thing is, I think our status is worse than they described. Our bright spot on defense, Morris, has a good chance of not even playing this year if that foot injury doesn’t heal quickly.
Best quote from the piece (because it’s sadly accurate)
https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/04/oregon-state-football-spring-practice-preview-the-jonathan-smith-restart-begins-with-qb-clarity-the-priority/
I have less faith in Smith after (a) Riley hire and (b) his trying to talk jive in practice. Sooo awkward. It’s hard to believe he’ll command respect with that fake jive shit.
Key point – high level multi year starter who can change the program.
Better get started. Nearly half the top QBs are already committed.
Key point #2: “they must forge an identity”
Golly, ya know what they say about identities: ” If you can’t forge ’em, find ’em. And if you can’t find ’em, mail it in and bolt to Nebraska!”
#tag chewthegum
So… we have one assistant coach… who apparently developed, not under-utilized, TEs.
Got it.
At least Riley has a history of sitting TEs with the dropsies.
Open practices this year? I think A. Willard (sp?) might have a shot, considering how bad Luton is
Post practice media Q&A with Smith:
https://youtu.be/MRFxIBlSauY
It pains me to say this, but he sounds a lot like Riley. GA at least had energy and made it appear he knew what he was doing.
Sounds exactly like Riley. I guess that’s why the old guard had him in place from day 1.
Holy Shit! I just watched the video. It’s uncanny, he’s a Riley mini-me with the speech and mannerisms. He just needs a few more years to acquire the slouch and multiple layers of clothing in mild weather and we will be there. I always thought Smith was a tough DE guy, I stand corrected.
‘sup with the red/white campaign ribbon opposite the swoosh on his shirt? Never saw Smilin’ Mike with one of those.
https://www.usamilitarymedals.com/products/new-york-national-guard-conspicuous-service-cross-ribbon
Apparently someone hates the troops.
Finkle is Einhorn! Einhorn is Finley!
All righty then.
GA is a baffon, just by moving wallace to rb proves smith is already light years ahead of that numskull.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNg5YSjtuNQ
But wait! There’s more!
Ugwoebu suspended indefinitely per coach after practice. Anyone know why?
Six qbs on roster…..I cant name em.
Christian Wallace played at RB in practice…
If I was betting man, I would guess failed piss test.
Bright seems like the last guy to fail a piss test.
He has excellent aim.
But less than stellar drug cloaking skills?
Ran past the QB without sacking him one too many times.
Ahhh…
He got stopped at the airport with a Whiffinator.
I follow him on Twitter, and when not retweeting and insane about of crap, he’s been very melancholy since GA quit. Lots of “of all the places I could have gone, why here.” A lot of feeling sorry for himself.
Too lazy to look up but I’m pretty sure I even saw a only 1 more term and I can move on tweet.
To be fair, the coaches who recruited him here, then promptly quit on him and the rest of the team, are back in town being treated like heroes. I probably wouldn’t be happy either.
^^^So much this.
If I were a player that was recruited by Simple Jack before he left, I’d have already tuned him out.
Kone transferring
yup. just saw this article from the local rag. Not really a big loss imso.
http://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/basketball/osu-men-s-basketball-kone-announces-transfer/article_68696eff-46ef-5bb9-878e-7b647d149e2a.html#tracking-source=home-the-latest
I know he’s had some injuries, but I found him to be a very awkward basketball player. Maybe the decision is a little odd with Eubanks leaving, but with all the new bigs coming in did he see the writing on the wall? I would be surprised if he ever advances beyond role player unless he’s going to a lower division.
Headcase
Christian Wallace at RB. called it a while back.
Prior regime said he had trouble moving backwards so this makes some sense. Big back. Let’s see if he’s got any moves.
Topics of the day:
Spring football and JS/MR return to OSU…don’t really care about OSU football for the first time in about 15 years. Poor play, poor hires and no end in sight. Win some games, lock MR away from all interviewsm improve qb play, improve tackling then I will be interested again.
OSU baseball: Amid the joy of Rutchman’s home run, a lot of really glaring things were buried for a day. Pitching is at a 6 yr low point. Pitching isn’t in the same continent as last year because walks, hbp, etc must decrease. I’m not going to trust a line-up that chooses to hold the bat for 4 runs instead of swinging the bat and looking to put the game out of reach. Last week it was hitting into double plays, this week it is the other extreme of not even trying for an inning. 4 runs but not good baseball, more like little league and I hate seeing it when that is all the Ducks can do to manufacture runs.
MBB transfer: Kone was a hard-worker by all indications, but he was a poor fit. Not athletic enough or big enough to be an inside force, not skilled enough shoting or ball-handling to play the perimeter. His knee injuries maybe just caught up to him. Unfortunate for him, yet he wasn’t going to see the floor and seemed out of sync every time he was on the floor.
Cooks: Hope to see the Rams make a run after stockpiling a lot of guys on short deals.
Barnes and the AD office: Do they have any explanation for the banner continuing to be on the roof of a building that just went through a multi-million dollar renovation? Unbelievably bad marketing, poor messaging and horrendous instincts for relevance.
FOOTBALL: I’ll pay attention to see if JS is actually using Riley to avoid having to spend as much time as many HC’s with the press. Also very curious to see Tibesar manage the D; will be disappointed if the tackling isn’t actual PAC level.
BASEBALL: You are so right about the way the ucks get runs and how that just doesn’t measure up to our expectations. The 4 runs resulting from 6 BB’s and a single hit were the reason I called the “rally” a “kiss your sister event”.
There has been some talk on JBS that the Utah club was stealing signs. I don’t know about that, but it certainly didn’t contribute to hitting into an average of 3 DP’s per game there.
Been expecting Luke to have an off night, hopefully the Nevada game was the extent of him showing his human-ness.
Gotta temper expectations for how fast Madrigal becomes a force, but just his presence in the lineup will be a positive.
BARNES: Is Ed Ray his boss? Does Ed care? Seems Barnes has no accountability. For the level of pay he gets, is there any set of measurable goals in place? Big problem.
About that 6 walk inning, I was there and there weren’t a lot of pitches thrown where you could drive the ball. Interestingly if I remember right the inning started with a Jones K and ended when Jones fanned on ball 4.
FOOTBALL: don’t care
BB: Rutsch is clutch.
KONE: Injuries and a coaching staff who just isn’t controlling the paint like they probably said they wanted when they recruited him are to blame. I’m sure coaches kids logging time when they don’t deserve it reduced his minutes and any development he might have had. Meanwhile, we lose the only rebounder who can pull it down with two hands.
COOKS: I honestly thought he would go there last year. NE was something of a surprise I thought would turn out better. I didn’t know at the time what a shit show it was, held together by sheer talent.
FOOTBALL: don’t care
It will be gone by spring game.
Bright likely suspended due to academic reasons. Spring q just started.
I thought Bright was……bright.
We better get used to many academic casualties with that lazy ass Riley back in charge.
Riley’s got moves…

So sad that the prodigal grandpa has become a laughing stock.
Where’s the parka and knit cap?
It must be at least 45 degrees outside, don’t you know.
Lundeberg got Kwans take on the relationship, or lack thereof, of the two base running/coaching mistakes vs Nevada:
Don’t know or care if the big zero caught that tidbit. Doubt it would show up on a routine background check!

http://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/baseball/osu-baseball-nevada-finale-a-win-to-remember/article_47e2e711-689b-58ff-a02d-831d1dd6fcf3.html
on the Sirius/XM baseball show a week ago Casey was talking in the abstract about how with success players start to get distracted, people getting “in their ear.” To give an example he cited Kwan who in Casey’s opinion is overly concerned about his MLB draft prospects and it’s having an effect on his play. Makes sense.
Is it just me, or was there a lot of visits(official/unofficial) by recruits at practice yesterday? I can’t remember a time of seeing multiple recruits visit this early in the year. It’s usually fall/winter that we see recruits visit, no?
Best indicator of recruits interest early on is if they attend the summer camp. That’s where a lot of the recruiting is done. Coaches get much more time with the recruits and get to talk to their coaches.
Rules have changed. Northern schools can get them to visit when the weather is beautiful.
Saban hates this.
OT: Haunted by Riley………..

New Baseball/General thread up.
