    2023-2024 Ga. Tech WBB

    Rusne seems to be full of spirit and energy in every photo I've seen. That, combined with the game film I have seen on her, tells me she is going to be a big part of the team this year and see lots of floor time.

    Pitching Coach Hired

    Regarding the want ad, aren't the team managers usually the young ladies that assist the team during games by supplying baseballs to the umpire, distributing water, etc? I'm sure their duties extend well beyond that but I guess what I'm saying is that if I am right then this is nothing new...

    2023-2024 Ga. Tech WBB

    Or it could be excellent talent to play BEHIND. Might see more minutes sooner with us. Besides I would much rather play for Nell than that witch Kim Mulkey. As a parent I wouldn't want my daughter playing for her after some of the things she said and did at Baylor. Of course that is just my opinion.

    2023-2024 Ga. Tech WBB

    With Shaq being in Atlanta a bunch for his stints on TNT for the NBA broadcasts, would that be a bonus for us in trying to recruit her? Obviously I have no idea how close they are, but I would hope that would add to her comfort level if she chose to play for us. Plus I would love to see Shaq...

    2023 Draft

    I guess those scouts never saw Jose Altuve play.

    Transfer Portal

    I may be wrong but it would seem to me that the longer this goes on the less likely he is to transfer. If he was being poached by another team with a sweetheart NIL deal wouldn't it already have happened? Maybe I am looking through gold colored lenses because I really hope he comes back...

    Cincy Home and Home

    I thought it was just me. I never understood the hype about skyline chili. Always seemed like a can of Hormel's on top of spaghetti.

    2024 Season

    As the article suggests it is "way too early" to be projecting next years draft. Before last season started how many people projected Kristin Campbell to go that high in the draft? I guess what I am saying is every season is a new year and stars will emerge that nobody expected. I think we have...

    2024 Season

    I assume you meant Minnick at catcher?

    Transfer Portal

    If Reid decides to stay in college for another year I hope he looks in the rear view mirror and sees how much he has improved under Ramsey and would benefit from another year of his mentorship. Reid's first year or so he was almost an automatic K on outside breaking balls. Under Ramsey he now...

    2022-23 GTWBB

    While I respect the hustle and energy that Aranaz displays, she always seems lost on the court to me. Her defensive footwork needs a lot of improvement. She just always seems to be a step late to me and gives up way too many offensive rebounds in her area. I REALLY hope she proves me wrong this...

    Unless I missed something Reid isn't gone yet. He entered the portal so there is a possibility - although a very low probability - that he could come back.

    Class of 2023

    Gotta love his power. With Compton leaving for a shot with the Braves as a UFA that opens up an infield spot. Could we see Giesler move to 3rd base and either Craska or Sabathia at 1st? Or maybe Pete can DH. We could use a power bat like his in the lineup especially with guys like Finley...

    2023 Draft

    Fortunately it appears that Busse will be returning to Tech for another year stating he "has unfinished business" according to a source on another site (thank you KJMC). I don't disagree with you about the age factor being an issue for them But what other choice do they have other than...

    2023 Draft

    I think it means they will both be back next year. Neither has entered the portal and I would think their best bet would be to return for another year and hopefully put up some big numbers to try and improve their draft stock. In Compton's case his draft stock was severely hampered by the...

    2023 Draft

    Please correct me if I missed someone but it appears that we had Anderson, Peete and Drake drafted from our list of incoming recruits. And Campbell, Deleo and Finley drafted from our current players. Am I missing anyone?

    How Transfer Portal and NIL has changed college recruiting

    I think it mostly comes down to ego. The overwhelming majority of these guys were "the man" at their high schools and spent those high school years being told by everyone around them how great they were. Then they get to college and find out they weren't nearly as good as they thought they were...

    2023-24 Season Countdown

    Let me start by saying that I have long enjoyed your posts and I look forward to future ones. You seem to be taking my responses as a personal affront and I assure you they are not intended as such. I just happen to disagree with your conclusion in this case and some of the logic you used to...

    Coaching Carousel 8 - Teamwork means never taking all the blame yourself

    But if they fire him for cause, which basically means he violated the terms of his contract, they owe him nothing.

    2023-24 Season Countdown

    You sound like you don't think our new coach is a good judge of talent. Why would he bring these guys on board if they are not capable of playing against ACC competition? Judging their ability based on what the overall record of their teams were doesn't make much sense. The starting lineup you...
