    These are not "lies" - they are recruiting tools to get players to their program. ALL schools do this. They go on visits, meet with staff and the kids are told what "their role will be" and how they will be the starting this or that or pitch on weekends for example. It is not a lie and every...

    I agree - it's a hard balance, but it is also a dirty game where everyone is out for themselves - especially at the higher levels. (SEC ACC) I just hate to see young kids having to go through the dirty side of the "business" but at this level, it is what it is. As for Kovala, he's gone, so...

    Portal Update

    There is a "toxic environment" that has been used to describe the current situation. I don't like the portal, NLI and all that college sports has become either. The problem with your statement about giving Kovala's scholarship to another transfer - is when does that stop? If this happens...

    Then you are choosing not to live in reality. There are also texts to recruits as the "court" them to commit. Many promises are made and many are not upheld. And Jaros just entered the portal today. I have been told 2 more are likely this week. Well, I guess we will have to see who gets...

    He lost his scholarship. It was given to an incoming transfer. He did not want to leave Like I said - nothing to d That wasn't the conversation. The guys want to compete. They thrive on competition. He was told he is no longer needed.

    Had nothing to do with his academics. I can assure you of that. Ask around as to why he "left" - you will be shocked to hear the answer. Yes, he had every intention of being in a starting role next year. Unfortunately GT did not agree.

    Kids want to play for GT, the issue is coaching staff. I'm sorry, but it's true. Players talk. Players tell recruits the truth about what it's really like behind closed doors. Why do you think GT leads in players entering the portal this year....including the Friday night starter? If it...

    Portal Update

    I know many of the parents of the players that have entered the portal. Do some research and look at the pitchers leaving. If they didn't graduate, they are hitting the portal. I work with advisors so I am aware of what is going on with coaches/players/teams scouting. Pitchers leaving: Busse...

    Not a huge addition. Didn't play last year. Has command issues. In state - so basically a free player. ERA of 8 in 2023 in the Sunbelt.

    Portal Update

    Exactly right. The issue is when they get to GT, the coaches want to change everything they originally "loved" about them. Taylor tried to change every single pitcher this year and it failed miserably. GT finished dead last in ERA in the ACC. Making pitchers change their entire routine...

    Yeah, and UGA told him he wouldn't play and he should find another school. Same with Jake Lankie. Lankie was cut in October by UGA. Now both coming to GT.

    Portal Update

    It's a dirty staff. Cutting kids the evening before the first game is disgusting. Most schools make cuts in the fall so the kids can transfer if they want to play. Pitching coach is a tyrant. If you don't do exactly what he says when he says it - you won't play. Finateri and Bussey are good...
