and a bunch more just like it.
And a side note not related to baseball but twitter posts are saying that Holloway has transferred to Florida A & M for football.
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

According to the university prez, it may be the Marching 75 instead of the marching 200. They want numbers they can monitor and control.

Re: Matt Brill & Tysean Holloway
Getting Brill to Boone was a major pick-up for Coach Jones. This was an excellent recruiting class!
Re: Matt Brill & Tysean Holloway
agree Brill is a huge pickup for Jones, but still nervous we can get him on campus, the article stated he had been offered 3 times by the Mets, and by his own words he was close to signing, worry that they might offer that 4th time with alittle more money and change his mind, need to get him on campus asap and let him see he made the right decision.

Should't be an issue. The deadline to sign with a pro club is today, looks like the decision is final. He could be a great addition to the bullpen.moehler wrote:agree Brill is a huge pickup for Jones, but still nervous we can get him on campus, the article stated he had been offered 3 times by the Mets, and by his own words he was close to signing, worry that they might offer that 4th time with alittle more money and change his mind, need to get him on campus asap and let him see he made the right decision.
Bad news is that Sam Agnew-Wieland signed with the Yankees. Curious to see if any thought is given to stretching Thurber into a starting role. He looked strong in 4-5 inning stretches of relief.

Re: Matt Brill & Tysean Holloway
Littel would have been in our rotation as one of the weekend starters. Hated to see him sign with Seattle but thought that would happen after he was drafted in the 11th round. Still have some "potential" strong pitchers in this class. I know that Coach Jones was ecstatic with this group!
