MIF Christian Mosqueda is as dynamic and impressive of a middle guy as I’ve ever coached/played with. He has the arm and footwork to play SS, and his DP turns/feeds at 2B are my favorite thing to watch.

BG can flat out pitch. He’s fearless on the mound, and while he could easily be a top 3 starter for us (was his prev. school’s

last year), he has embraced a bullpen role for us because he is so valuable finishing games.
If you are looking for a bonafide winner, HMU about BG.

The process of building into a larger role throughout your college career is a dying concept. Unfortunately the expectation of immediate success/status does not translate well to the real world.
Jay Johnson told us the days of building a program are gone, and that this year's LSU team was too deep. Now he's focusing on building his team one year at a time.

It finally happened. I got a “recruiting” email from a 2028 grad…
If 8th graders are so concerned with recruiting to the point of randomly emailing JCs to get on their recruiting lists, the system is completely broken.

Uncommitted HS seniors: it certainly CAN happen and it might… but this is the time that juco guys get recruited heavily, and then summer becomes transfer portal season once again… let’s think logically here
It's February!
It is now LATE in the recruiting process.
That does not mean you should freak out. It DOES mean you should have urgency going forward.
Plenty of opportunities still out there and tons of commitments happen in February/March/April.
Go get your opportunity!
