From the sound of it we were prepared this time at SS, Manny Marin the Tenner SS was likely going to start even over Cleary or at least a close competition so it makes sense we took 2 starting caliber SS's in the portal now. He's a decent hitter .291 BA last season but a gold glove caliber defender and I think DVH wanted defense up the middle. If he can hit .270+ with his D we are solid up the middle with Souza back.
Pompey not getting drafted at all was a surprise, he was signing even if he went 20th round and the staff did not expect him back, now he's returning so losing our transfer 3B isn't as big of a hit. Still think TJ could be a have breakout strong year too.

Judah Ota, our next great Hawaiian, announces he's heading to campus. 6'5 OFer #77 overall recruit. Beast of a swing. 
All 4 of our top 100 recruits will make it to campus.

This makes me happier than TJ returning for another year.

Amazing that not one damn school is interested in Nate or Matt

Assistants rarely leave in baseball, it's not like football or hoops. Very, very few.
Kevin Schnall stayed at Coastal for 20 years even after winning a natty to get the head job when HC retired and then bolted to USCe after 2 years.
Far more likely that Nate or Matt think they can get the HC job here with DVH nearing the end. After the dropped popup shoulda been natty season when Nate was rated the top assistant in college he had HC offers to middle tier schools and didn't even entertain them. No one has called for Hobbs and it largely comes down to money we offer our assistants a higher salary than just about any non major program offers their HC.

Hobbs has gotten some MLB pitching coach interest before though. Think the Yankees interviewed him a few years back.

Yes as did Wes Johnson and he obviously took that offer then came back to college 3 years later. Probably a better route than taking a low pay mid tier job when you're a top assistant making more money at a major school.

Did not realize Hagen Smith was struggling so bad at Triple A this year, 0-6 with a near 5 ERA. Strikeouts still very high though, looks like he's still struggling with a lot of walks and 8 HR's allowed in 53 innings is a lot.

Had no idea he was even coaching.
Why did Ammirati downgrade from UGA after 2 stellar years to Auburn though? Seems odd unless serious pay raise that UGA wouldn't match.
ETA: Looks like Butch coached him at MSU back in the day and they are really close.

Control issues. Maybe he’s a Ryan or Koufax and the light will turn on eventually.
