Looks like we hired Maryland assistant, Anthony Papio.

Alton Davis II announced he is indeed returning to Bama next season. Although expected, that is huge news.

He had a couple of uncharacteristic errors this year but overall, Jarvis is a smooth operator at SS. Nice to see him get the recognition and award he deserves…

You sure did.

No loyalty anymore. You can go to a rival and then be all in for them like you were never the enemy for more yesrs than you were with them. College sports fun is just over.

Got bored at work and started watching some Maryland games from this past season. You can see the aggressive approach at the plate. It's going to be a fun brand of baseball. I'm sure he'll be able to snag a few good players in the portal after the season is done.

Well it wouldn't be fun to see them against Vanderbilt though.

Looks like we've had more transfers. Eventually the bleeding will stop.

UT with their recent exit from the CWS, has had five, maybe six, enter the portal. We'll still see teams bleed, hopefully not as profusely.

That's a pretty good salary. Compared to Bohannon's 525k base salary. Looks like we're starting to really put emphasis on the program again.
