I hope they hire Lemon and Fox and destroy themselves forever. I like USCe fans but vaporizing an SEC rival is always a good thing. They already have Coastal and Clemson making them irrelevant, adding Fox is almost overkill.

That's true.
I could also see Lemonis at a Big 10 school as well. He wasn't up to our standards here but somewhere like Illinois or Ohio State what he did would be fine. Plus he has had success at Indiana so that would make him attractive in that conference as well not to mention the fact that he has a NC. It's not like he completely tanked it here or anything.
Yeah. I don't think they will have much problem replacing Manieri. They've been down so long they may have to take a chance on someone like an Elander or an assistant like that. I could see them pulling someone like Tom Walter though. They really need a slam dunk that will work because they have made now three coaching decisions that didn't work out for them.
Really wish it could have worked out for Lemonis. Liked him personally and he looked like the real deal his first 3 years. Certainly something was lacking though in his evaluation and development of HS talent and the overall development of players within the program with regards to fundamentals. Only the portal salvaged something decent out of the last 2 seasons after the disasters of 2022 and 2023. Anyway, hope he lands on his feet somewhere but I would be shocked if he got another HC gig in the SEC. Certainly appreciate those within the fanbase that stepped up though that let us land BOC. On paper, the best hire in the history of the school from a resume standpoint.
how are our 3 guys doing on team USA?
Ace and McPherson were the only two from State that made it. Ace is hitting over .300 but the power is somewhat missing while McPherson has a strong ERA.
Interesting to see the following teams with multiple players: Arky (3), UCLA, NC, NC St, UVA, GaTech, OR St & L'ville all with 2 each. Also interesting that teams like LSU, Tenn, Tex, aTm, OM, Vandy, FSU didn't have any players on the team.
Oh, is Valincius not there too?
Valincius is there.
I think it's just that he was invited to the tryout but didn't make the final roster that leaves for Japan today. Ace and McPherson did.
ok
I want to make something clear about my take on Bucket Coach, good guy, as far as 34 saying he understood my take because of my grandson. My grandson never said anything bad to me about Bucket Coach, BUT I have had conversions with my "family member" about his ability in the clubhouse and a few other matters.
I was literally just saying to myself how after 2019, 2020, 2021 I thought we were about to be like THE program in all college baseball. Woof.
Btw 2020 started out with a sweep of New Horizon league champion Wright State, 2/3 series win over Oregon St. and 2-0 over #4 Texas Tech with a roster consisting of Foscue, Westburg, JT Ginn, Tanner Allen, Rowdy, Landon Sims, Logan Tanner, Bedanar, Hancock(so underrated)
