Eddie Smith is looking like the next coach at Washington.

I'm glad we got Dickinson locked in before that shook out. Obviously LSU is a better program than Washington, but an opportunity to play at home for the coach that recruited and developed you is pretty big. Especially since they're losing both their middle infielders.

---

so is the ink dry on the Dickinson commitment or should we worry about the possibility of him having a change of heart? I'm pretty excited to have him on the team.

Not sure when it will break, but Doyle and Fischer to Tennessee.

Lead singer of Better Than Ezra?

Cade Fisher wasn’t on campus (like we confirmed) but he will be eventually according to the Florida mods

I got no info on this one. I wouldn’t expect us to be serious contenders for him, but that’s just my opinion

Don’t sleep on Reaves

Seeing those older jerseys really makes me hope Nike fixes things for next year. Quality took a huge step back this past year
