The real wild card to baseball recruiting is figuring out who is likely to take a check out of high school.

I'm here in Murfreesboro at the state tourney with a friend who is a booster and he heard that Honeycutt has been contacted and may very well get the job if he wants it. Serrano's name is still in the hat as well. The only thing is that Honeycutt doesn't like Hamilton since he didn't give him a shot last time. I sincerely hope this is totally false and my info is wrong at least about Honeycutt.

9 players down, but Hamilton was supposed to find an awesome coach....

He went cheap for the SEC and hired a guy who got the academics on track. I still think Raleigh sucks but this job is so much better now

None of which has anything to do with getting guys into school initially. I'd hope Fullerton has a good APR. My neighbor's basset hound could make satisfactory academic progress at a Big West school.

You gotta work with what ya got Hat. There's a school in Serrano's conference that's in trouble, but it's not his. There's a school in the big east that's in trouble in basketball, but it's not a problem for Martin. I see what your saying. Him not having a degree means he can't recruit kids good enough to beat Vandy and Corbin's kids. Is that it?

Or is it this? You don't want anybody coaching at UT with out a degree because the Big 10 says, the only reason the SEC wins is because anybody can get in? They already do.

His not having a degree means no self respecting institution of higher learning should be hiring him as their head coach.

That's straight up. I appreciate that as your opinion. I don't agree, but I respect it.

Each conference has it's own standard...I think that was said. UT shouldn't break a conference standard in hiring a coach. If a coach is willing to get to the standard, whether for the students, or himself, than that's okay by me. I feel certain, that if a baseball player at UT wants to major in chemistry, UT can do that. If there is a Chemistry major who wants to play baseball and he has the skills, then we have a coach for him too. Dave Serrano was an asst coach at UT, under Delmonico...I guess it didn't matter then.

Late again, apologies. A Vandy website gave a Louisville website a heads up that we might be after McDonnell. The same Vandy website had many posts talking about how Corbin will never leave Vandy.

It was confirmed in at least 2 places today that Corbin gave Hamilton a good Todd Raleigh reference. Worked out well for Corbin.

As with all coaching searches, don't believe everything you see or here, but former baseball Vol Phil Garner gave Chris Burke a thumbs up according to Tony Basilio's twitter. That's nice for Burke, but not so great for the Vol fans that wanted Garner.

In the thread somewhere is an article about Holbrook, many think he's a possibility and some say he's got some backers within the UTAD.

If your just looking in and you see a bunch of numbers and the letters APR...just know that, unless you see other wise, none of the candidates getting mentioned, have any problems in that regard. UConn on the...I kid, I kid...

There is some sort of beef between Raleigh and UT, nothing has be signed or agreed upon YET.

Not much action today, but CSF had a game tonight, a series this weekend and a few days off.

NCAA vs. UT June 10-11. CWS starts June 18th.

Not having a legit degree certainly doesn't set a good example for student athletes. Especially when only 1 in 5 have a shot at a pro contract.

I'm not sure I would like the distinction of being the only school in the SEC with a head coach who doesn't have a college degree.

If he works toward his degree I guess it would be acceptable. If Hamilton changes the job description we look like clowns.

No I am not. If the guy is the most qualified (through experience and results) a degree makes no difference. I do alot of hiring and over the last several years I have become less and less impressed with the paper. A proven track record of results means much more.

I'm assuming it's already been posted, but I just saw that Coach Chad Holbrook will be interviewing for the job on Monday.

Kieth Law says that Kent State HC Scott Stricklin is a candidate. I mentioned him a few days ago and I think he'd be a great hire if they can't get Holbrook.

Do you hire for a university? If not, I don't care in the least what you think about UT actually behaving like an institution of higher learning and demanding employees have degrees.

"Not having a degree... doesn't set a good example"...That's what everyone was so worried about when Kiffin, his daddy and O were around, yeah right....They set a great example, bend the rules, break the rules while laughing at you boss. Let's not even get into their comments and their actions in the community. Monte, whew...

"we look like clowns" We do, we have for a while, the school lacks leadership, none of it has much to do with who coaches baseball.

Let's try to remember that the rest of the country, thinks about the SEC the way Hat thinks about the Big West. Apologies to Vandy.

If Serrano wants to go to work for janitorial services or start slinging slop in one of the dining halls, he can have at it.
