On one hand that is very impressive. On the other they are Arkansas so fuck them.

Didn’t you have to be a giant when you went to sleep to be a “sleeping giant”?

A few posters on TD are saying Tim Corbin is the top target and they're throwing all the money they have at him.

Nashville vs BR and the fact academics actually do matter in baseball recruiting has to make that price tag obscene.

So, the Aggie assistant hires are impressive and a little confusing.  As mentioned, they hired LSU assistant Nolan Cain.  Then they hired Michael Early to be their hitting coach.  Which lead to them immediately landing ASU transfer Jack Moss.  But that's two assistants, and no pitching coach.  Clearly they will hire a pitching coach.  Hopefully not Yeskie, but that's supposedly the target.  If not, I'm sure it will be someone decent.

So, which one of these three guys will be unpaid?

Vanderbilt has been a lightning rod for how to successfully get around the 11.7 scholarships and still recruit top prospects. Coach Tim Corbin, former head coach at Presbyterian and assistant at Clemson, has turned the Commodores into an elite program with the approach.

In 2008, Vanderbilt created “Opportunity Vanderbilt,” which promised that any student who was admitted to the school would not be prevented from attending due to cost of tuition. The school looked at each student’s family income, how much it could reasonably provide for their child to attend Vanderbilt, and subtracted that from the regular cost (Vanderbilt’s tuition for the 2018-19 school year was over $70,000).

In essence, the cost of attendance was what the student and their family could afford. Some complained that it helped Vanderbilt get players through that program while allowing the school to use its 11.7 scholarships for other players.

It wasn’t that simple, as if a player chose Vanderbilt because of the school’s financial aid, he couldn’t partake in athletic aid. Yet Vandy has won two College World Series titles in the past six years and Corbin called it an advantage in a recent interview with The Athletic.

“We have more of an inroad to a kid that is (in a) lower economic (situation) who wants to be here, can be here because of his economic situation,” Corbin said. “Does it hurt us? Yeah, because we don’t get every kid we want. But you also understand, it is an advantage for us, there is no doubt.”

Vanderbilt is a private school and has that advantage over every other school in the SEC. And now it can mix and match school and athletic financial aid, much like other private schools can (Stanford, Tulane, Miami, etc.)

Rice does the same thing.  Really helps if you can add 10 full rides to your team making every walk on a academic/financial full ride.  Recruit 100% poor kids and you could have all 35 guys on a full ride with athletic/financial/academic funds

Except at least you could count on the fact that an academic scholarship at a place like Vanderbilt or Rice is somewhat warranted, academically speaking.  

That Nebraska scholarship deal...most of those kids shouldn't have even been allowed to leave their villages, let alone attend classes.  Then again, classes at Nebraska are a fucking joke.  UNL has to be one of the 10 worst 'flagship' universities in the nation.  I still can't believe the Big 10 let them in considering the academic and research standards of the Big 10.  Same with Rutgers, but at least at Rutgers---you might accidentally run into somebody smart once you leave campus and head northeast for a half hour.  That ain't happening in Lincoln

New Zona coach. 

Quote

Tigers third base coach Chip Hale is leaving his position to accept a job as head coach at the University of Arizona, per an announcement from the school’s baseball department. Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star tweeted this morning that there were “strong indications” Hale would be the program’s new head coach.

This, rather remarkably, is the second time in the past month that the Tigers have lost a member of their Major League staff to a college program. Assistant hitting coach Jose Cruz Jr. accepted a job as the head coach at Rice University back on June 9.

Both Hale and Cruz were in their first season as members of AJ Hinch’s coaching staff in Detroit. Hinch, of course, is also in his first year as Tigers skipper after serving his suspension on the heels of the Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing scandal. Prior to taking his now-former post with the Tigers, Hale was the bench coach for the 2019 World Series champion Nationals. He also spent two years as the D-backs’ manager and has served as a bench coach and/or third base coach with the D-backs, Mets and Athletics.

Hale, 56, played his college ball at Arizona and was a 17th-round selection of the Twins back in the 1987 draft. He spent parts of seven seasons in the Majors (six with Minnesota, one with the Dodgers), serving as a utility infielder and batting .277/.346/.363 in 333 MLB games.

“I am very honored and excited to be the new head baseball coach at the University of Arizona,” Hale said in a statement released by the Wildcats. “We will work tirelessly to build on the success that has been established here and continue to coach and develop our Wildcats to be champions on the field and in the classroom. With the help and support of the University of Arizona and the Wildcat Family, we plan on making many trips to Omaha!”

The Tigers have yet to announce who will be taking over as their new third base coach in the wake of Hale’s departure.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?  Profiles appear to be 3 paid assistants.

Tulo is listed on our roster as an Assistant Coach though he is a Volunteer Asst.

Yeskie was hired as the pitching coach,  a great hire, super pitching coach and recruiter with West Coast connections.   Cain recruited for LSU and knows the Houston area, Texas,  and the South.   My guess (guess only) is Earley is the Volunteer Asst.   May take a year or two but they should be good,  very good.   Long term it could affect our recruiting success in the Houston area.

Things fell into place for Schlossnagle being able to hire top assistants after head coaching changes at LSU and Arizona.

Speaking of which,  Huston left the student job after last year?

That is a stout looking staff for sure.  Bet some camp money or some such goes Early’s way if he is the unpaid guy.

Not sure,  @Fletch alluded to that earlier in the year.   Huston was in the stands at Omaha.

I know he’s been coaching his kids select team. That probably interfered with him coaching here. Would obviously love to have him back

That is how the unpaid guys make their money.  Camps and private lessons.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel on Thursday approved allowing the use of one-way electronic communication devices for the purpose of calling pitches and plays. The rule goes into effect for the 2021-22 academic year.

Examples of what could be implemented next season include teams being allowed to use an electronic display board from the dugout that shows a numerical code to call pitches and/or defensive plays. Teams also can use a one-way in-ear communication device that would be limited for use from the dugout to the catcher.

Several conferences, including the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Pac-12, Southeastern and Sun Belt in 2021, have experimented with in-ear communication and other one-way electronic communication devices to call pitches from the dugout the past four seasons.
