Assistant vacancy?

Coming off a weekend visit here would seem to point to Vandy.

Dillard visited Vanderbilt earlier this year. He plans to take an official with the Commodores in June. He's been talking to the trio of Coach Black, Haye, and Lea on a consistent basis and says their message to him is "they are a really good developmental program and they'll help him get to the next level."

He also mentioned that Michigan is talking to him about potentially taking an official as well.

A recap of this week's recruiting notes in article form. Theme: summer officials being set.

Florida and South Carolina tied at 2 in the fourth

Georgia leads Arkansas 6-2 in the fifth.

I caught up with new safety target Dontae Carter.

There is talk about a pattern of teams that got in the tournament that were dependant on bigs....like Purdue and others. None of them lasted long in fact and it's been a while since a big played a huge roll in the tournament.

I think we need another big....but won't be disappointed or if we don't get one. If not Dort must have shown alot in practice or they are just not looking for another big...by design....not looking.

Thoughts?

Let’s go!

Huge series for a lot of reasons but if we can take 2/3 this weekend, we’re shoveling dirt on those boys in Knoxville.

Do we have any idea on rotations for this weekend? @Chris Lee Hopefully Holton is feeling good and ready to go. I noticed he hit 96 on Saturday (seems like good velo for him).

I’m assuming we move on from the weirdest part of college baseball (midweek game upsets) and get fired up to head to Knoxville.

Any thoughts on the series?

@JustinAngel dropped this nugget earlier this week, more on Coleman and his commitment at the story above

Vanderbilt and Tennessee both perform horribly in mid-week losses on Tuesday; does that mean anything coming into this weekend's highly-anticipated series in Knoxville? Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich talk about that series plus, discuss the offensive trends in baseball, some surprises for Vanderbilt at this point in the season, a potential starting lineup change (if one were to happen) and a whole lot more in an hour and a half of baseball talk.

Just wondering---I keep seeing comments here and elsewhere about Vandy football trending in the right direction. Considering our returning players and our opponent's returning players, where do you think Vandy has a chance to finish in the East? Are we fighting to stay out of the bottom or is 3,4,5,6 place possible? Would appreciate your thoughts.

Think I would have to take this bracket in a heartbeat.

3 Vanderbilt
Alabama St

Arizona State (who has lost a series to MS St)
Troy

Matches up with

14 Miami
FGCU

UCLA
Iowa

Hearing Vanderbilt is supposedly getting a commitment from the portal today or tomorrow. Will be one you all are happy with. A guy we previously reported Vandy had an in-home with.

Love it!!

This one is facing the south end zone

Looks like Christian Moore, starting second base, left the game and was wearing a boot. He is one of their top offensive threats:

C Moore Injury

Also, Zach Joyce, brother of the guy who threw 105 last year, left during his appearance with an elbow injury. Sounds pretty serious:

Z Joyce injury

Also all world SS transfer who they illegally recruited from Kansas, Maui Ohuna, has been out for last few games and will probably miss the series this weekend. He has really struggled against SEC. He is hitting .262 with one homer and four RBIs in 11 SEC games. He has struck out a team-high 18 times in only 42 at-bats in SEC play. Maybe we should hope he plays.

Can someone post who/which/when/what radio show was so boisterous last season re: UTjr baseball and what are they saying now?

Interesting thread. There's no way that Tyson Russell starts at corner. I also think Daevion Davis starts along the defensive line. Rest looks pretty spot on.
