It's the former coach at Wright State. Probably means Kyle Bunn is our pitching coach.
And yes this is the first time I have ever followed an Indiana baseball coaching search in my life.

He’s an excellent choice and we will be really good under him if we get him (we should if Lemonis wants him). We could easily double or triple his salary.
Yeah. Mercer is going to do really well there. Fantastic young coach, and if he brings he’s WSU guys with him, will have a really good staff as well.
I hope LeMo hires Bunn. He’s very very good.
It’s an upgrade from Wright State but I doubt he has great success there. It’s not a baseball school.Quote:

We all know how Kendall Rogers is, but he just hinted that he thinks we are looking at Yeskie at OSU. Can’t imagine that actually happens but it’s worth sharing.
That's interesting. I don't see an obvious connection. And it appears as if he is a West Coast guy. Would be a home run hire.Quote:

Yeskie is married to a former OSU volleyball player and they’re both from up there. We’d have to pay him yuge money and I still don’t see it. COMPLETELY different place and way of life up there. Twilight Zone different.
Really? Wow. Oh yea, u have mail.Quote:

That Wright State coach might be a great coach but he will struggle to do what Lemonis did. Trust me.Quote:

Can’t argue with his credentials though and would be a huge blow to Oregon State. If we did get him, would be a huge coup. We would have two on our coaching staff that were assistant coaches of the year (Lemonis and Yeskie).Quote:

I agree 100%. I always try to keep an even keel when I hear this stuff, even when it's very credible. If it happens it's awesome if not we still gonna get a winner. Next couple weeks gonna be big for our baseball program.Quote:

Todd .. or anyone that follows baseball or has looked at Indiana's BB team .. is there any chance that Kyle Bunn 'brings' any pitchers 'IF' he is hired by Lemonis?Quote:

I imagine you do and you must be the guy’s agent as adamant as you are he will succeed at a crappy Big 10 school saying it on here and saying it on 247. He will have some success but imo he won’t have sustained success. You have to be a bad ass recruiter to win consistently at a Big 10 school. I doubt he will be as successful as Lemonis was.Quote:
