I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard? Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

My Highschool baseball coach begged us to watch 20-30 minutes of college/professional baseball a night. I never understood it. Reflecting on it now, I am deeply grateful I did as he asked. It helped me think the game & develop baseball IQ ahead of my age. As I help coaching Highschool baseball now : The baseball IQ is seemingly getting worse for high schoolers as time goes on & the world becomes exceedingly more short form & instant gratification centric. If you’re a parent and/or young baseball player I hope you understand how much understanding the intricacies of the game will play in your favor over the long haul.

Glad that if it had to be anyone it was Venezuela

This is one of the best post game interviews you’ll ever see from Eugenio Suarez of Venezuela. 🎥 FOX SPORTS

Following River Bluff’s 4–0 win in the nightcap, Ashley Powell & Andrew Rye join the postgame to discuss the five scoreless innings thrown by Powell plus Rye’s key 2-run triple to put it away: ⁦@OpterraSolutInv⁩

2026 IF Chase Pollock fires this back into CF for a knock. Generates strength from the ground-up with explosive hands in-zone and present feel for the barrel. Positional versatility across the infield as well. @PB_Uncommitted @BlacksmithsBase #UpperFallWS25

Ashley Powell (‘26, SC) lines this to the RC gap & hustles around for a 2B. Athletic look & frame, moves pretty well on the base paths. #WWBA @PG_Coastal @PG_Uncommitted

Blake Davis (‘26, SC)- Primary RHP getting it done with the stick here, dropping this into the OF grass & advancing runners into scoring position. 6’5/202 frame. #WWBA @PG_Coastal @PG_Uncommitted

Myles Mayers (‘26, SC) shoots this the other way thru the hole to scratch across another run. Spread base & heel lift trigger keeps things simple to contact, does a job here well. #WWBA @PG_Coastal @PG_Uncommitted

Nico Knight (‘26, SC) fights this off the other way for an RBI single. Loads into HBE slot, knob led path to contact with some strength in the hands. #WWBA @PG_Coastal @PG_Uncommitted

Cash Unruh (‘26, GA) lines this over the 6-hole for a knock. Compact stroke, works the hands in nicely with extension out front. #WWBA @PG_Georgia @PG_Uncommitted

Great win for the team on day 2 of wwba! Played againt a good rough riders team ranked #32 nationally. Produced a lot of weak contact and had a great defece behind me to back me up. 7ip 5h 0er 0bb 1k 79-52(66%) @PrepBaseball_SC @diamondprospect @BlacksmithsBase @sumterbaseball

Nico Knight (‘26, SC) drops the bat head and gets on plane to rocket this backside for a 2B. Stays in a good hitting position and the hands get on plane w/ a short hand path and some ext thru contract for juice off barrel. #17uCoastalUnderclassChampionship

Morgan Love (‘26, SC) creates separation and whips the hands thru to get barrel out front on a hard LD to the PS. Keeps weight back into a hard turn and good impact and juice off barrel. #17uCoastalUnderclassChampionship
