That’s exactly what McClanahan will be early in the first round of this year’s draft, as the redshirt sophomore from USF has one of the liveliest arms in the draft, generally sitting in the mid-to-upper 90s with his fastball, while complementing his velocity with an above average changeup. He strikes out a ton of opposing batters, but also walks his fair share. Some scouts also question his durability, as he’s already undergone Tommy John surgery in his career, leading many to think he starts professionally in the bullpen, not only to save his arm, but also because it will allow him to get to the big leagues quickly.
  2. How close are the planets aligning? joking, ECU loss and we win wolud put in second
  3. Needed this one. I know Pete as been roughed up a bit in his last two starts, but I love the way he battles to stay in the game and keep this line up in the game. If he lets the wheels fall off today we were done.
  4. Not sure why you would throw him today, and not last night. Unless the plan was to rest them both until we needed one.
  5. Cincinnati it only a half game back of us. Losing two today would put us in 4th with the door open for UCF to out us in 5th (1GB), nothing is locked for us. Especially if we are resting SM and PS.
  6. I can understand resting SM this series, I don't know why you don't pitch PS tonight though. He could have gone tonight and been ready for game two of the tourney.
  7. MLB's Stars Debate Pitchers Using Pine Tar Ah, but pitchers using pine tar, rosin, sunscreen, good old-fashioned sweat and anything else available to help them grip the baseball and, possibly, to help make it move? Now that's been happening since the game was invented. So the important takeaway of this Bauer-Astros dustup isn't the forum in which it was argued; it's that it again has sparked a serious conversation on the subject. "I use pine tar on my bat so the bat doesn't slip out of my hands," Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones says. "So a pitcher can use pine tar on the ball so it doesn't hit me in the face."
  8. Yeah, I thought so too, not a bad shot at that, Fritz at 3 surprised me a little but I got no qualms with number 1.

Frost wants Saban to come to Lincoln.
  11. Ranking the American Athletic Conference's College Football Coaches for 2018' 4. Charlie Strong, USF Following a disappointing three-year run at Texas, Strong returned to the state of Florida to replace Willie Taggart at USF. The Bulls fell short against UCF in an epic 49-42 thriller in Orlando last season but still finished 10-2 overall and claimed a victory in the Birmingham Bowl. USF wasn’t quite as dominant as some predicted, yet still ranked No. 21 in the final Associated Press poll. Strong has connections to the Sunshine State from previous stints at Florida (1988-99, 1991-93 and 2003-09) and will have no trouble attracting talent to Tampa. He previously went 37-15 as Louisville’s coach from 2010-13, including 23 wins over his final two years in charge. Strong went 16-21 at Texas but is a better fit at USF and should keep this program near the top of the AAC in 2018.
  12. USF offers another Georgia prospect The Bulls are staying active in the state of Georgia. After a few new recent offers in the Peach State, the USF staff has now offered a three-star linebacker out of Atlanta. Today, Lovett high school outside linebacker Nick Jacksonwas offered by the USF coaching staff. Jackson, a 6-foot-2, 217-pound thumper, has close to 30 offers, including; Northwestern, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Iowa, Kentucky and Nebraska to name a few. The USF staff has been on the road recruiting in Georgia and more specifically the Atlanta area.
  13. USF Recognized as One of America’s Healthiest Campuses The University of South Florida (Tampa) was selected today as a winner of the 2018 Active Minds Healthy Campus Award, an honor recognizing colleges and universities across the country that demonstrate excellence in prioritizing and promoting the health and well-being of their students. The award is presented by Active Minds, a national nonprofit organization that seeks to change the conversation about mental health by raising awareness and inspiring action on college campuses.
  14. I've never watched the series because I don't pay for HBO but, this could one of the most entertaining installments yet.
  15. im pretty excited about this kid, two season hitting over 400 and three seasons with 30 hits, also 24-4 as a starter.
  16. Hey did you hear anything about this kid? I like the frame coming out of high school and the 434 batting average, seems like he has a little pop too.
  17. Yeah, I think I would rather be with the 2,3,6 and 7 grouping than the 1,4,5,8 grouping. Right now that is a projected to be UH, UCF, WSU, and Uconn.......we are 1-2-1 in those series, vs 2-0 with Cincinnati to come this weekend against the project 2,6,7 seeds. Obviously this will have to be adjusted after this weekend but I like where we are here. Moving into second wouldn't hurt either, falling to four could put us in a bad spot considering how we looked against the 8 seed.
  18. We need to put ourselves in a good spot this weekend. If ECU stumbles, we have to capitalize and grab that two seed.
