1800 baseball players are currently in the NCAA transfer portal. Half of those being D 1 guys looking for new schools. GO WHERE YOU CAN PLAY! And not just what looks sexy in a commitment post!
Walked out of the hotel gym Friday night in Pulaski, TN to find half of our team holding a Bible study. Not sure if I’ve had a prouder moment in coaching.

Most college classes start tomorrow or next Monday and 3000 players were still in the transfer portal Friday. How is that “keeping your options open” thing working out so far?

NCAA Transfer Portal update: almost 3200 guys looking for new schools, and it’s late June! 2000 are leaving their current D 1 programs. If you are playing a lot at your “smaller school”, or have a chance to, stay there!!! You don’t get this time back!
Practice starts in a week so Labor Day involved lots of labor. Those edges weren’t going to fix themselves! Still have to backfill, but she’s almost ready.

Is there a date when these juco and portal kids realize that going D2, D3, or NAIA ain’t so bad? Fun fact, over 50% of players that enter the portal never play college baseball again. Is it really worth it??
Part 2: if you are a starter at your “small school” and put up good numbers, STAY THERE! It doesn’t mean you are too good for that place. It just means that the coach saw something in you that the “big schools” didn’t!

So today was a first. I was put in “time out” by an umpire and then ejected shortly after. Our other coach then got ejected. The umpire UN-EJECTED me and let me back in the game.

This young man recorded his 100th hit at Thomas University today. He has overcome so much in baseball to get where he is today and I couldn’t be prouder. Congrats, B-Rad!

Unable to play our last pool play game due to weather, we finished the tournament 1-1 and 28-23 overall, led by a special group of seniors. The future in TVegas is very bright!

Such an honor to speak at the FACA State Clinic today in Daytona. Thank you

for the invite! The Power of the Hinge, baby!

“Proud” doesn’t begin to express how I feel about what our guys did this semester. In my 17 years of being a head coach, this is the highest team gpa ever. Not bad for a bunch of knuckleheads.

10 years from now, nobody will care where you played college baseball. How that experience shaped the rest of your life is what will matter most

🗣”The reality is there’s D3 players that can play D1 baseball, and there’s D1 baseball players that should be playing D3 ... I think it’s really being comfortable with who you are, what you do & how you wanna do it.” -

Last, but not least, the grandstands’ railing got capped today. Shout out to my staff who worked for 3 days installing 600+ feet of fence cap. Thank you

Before 2020, no candidate ever got 70 mil votes, but the guy that dropped out of the race in 1987 for plagiarizing his college work and campaign speeches, got 80 mil?? And barely left his basement?? C’mon man.

Lesson 1 in how NOT to run a business: contact college commitments and try to get them to play a grad year with your organization….and then block the college coach that called you out. Good luck in your endeavor 🤡
A little extra seed this year from
