    Indiana hired a baseball coach today

    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.

    He will have the same type of success that lead Lemonis here. Different pedigree, but the guy can coach. You don’t win almost 80 games at WSU in two years without being a pretty decent coach.

    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.

    Would be a grand slam but I just don’t see it happening

    Which means Yeskie will have an announced pay raise, in less than 48 hours...

    Don't be surprised if it's Yeskie.

    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.

    You have to recruit in order to win at IU. Lemonis did some things at IU that had never been done before like get to 3 regionals in 4 years as an at large team. Nobody had done that before and no one is consistent in the Big 10. What Lemonis did at IU was nothing short of amazing and he did it through recruiting. That Wright State coach might be a great coach but he will struggle to do what Lemonis did. Trust me.

    Me and everybody posting about it for the most part. I don’t doubt we’re after him. But MS and OR are night and day different. Culture shock could be used. But money does talk and we’ve got a lot to blow on him.

    This article from 2016 says that Yeaskie's salary was $120,000 while Kasey was $800,000. A little disparity don't ya think?

    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).
