Doesn't mean they will announce anything if they get told no. I bet we hear something by Thursday.

---

What is the signicance of Thursday?

---

Baseball portal closes July 2. Need the new guy in place for that final weekend of portal recruiting.

---

The last day for a player to enter the portal is July 2. If a player enters by that date, I think they can transfer up until the Fall semester begins at their new school.

---

Wouldn't that make keeping their players from entering the portal by announcing after that date the 'sip thing to do?

Do you actually think that any of their players are sitting around waiting and assuming Pierce is still around?

That's not how this works.

Players who are looking to move are in the portal. Nobody (that has options)is so attached to Pierce and just sitting, waiting.

It's all about who you can pull in.

I think most of their studs outside of Belyeu are draft eligible anyway. They need a major talent overhaul next year regardless of if Pierce is staying or it's a new coach.

My sources are telling me they will hire Vitello after ws.

---

Not buying it.

---

Why not? He seems like the coach that would make this jump.

---

What advantage does that move make? Purely $$$. Great fans in Knoxville. Crappy fans and facilities at t.u. Makes little sense other than $.

---

Tennessee has been very slow about facilities upgrades. I am shocked they have not done anything yet as their park is a dump.

And Vitello has been there longer.

---

They are on phase 2 of renovations

I didn't say anything about the effectiveness of their ****** move, only that a ****** move is their wheelhouse.

We were there last year and watched them play on tv this year. Looked the same to me.

I looked at the D1 Baseball transfer tracker and it only showed one player in the portal (who didn't play last year).

Since there has only been one so far, I would assume that they are waiting to see who their new coach is before officially entering the TP, although I think many players looking at the TP as an option have informal discussions with players or other non-coaches on teams they would be interested in. If they don't have a new coach announced sometime next week I would bet there would be a number of them entering the TP.

Let em try. He ain't leaving here esp not for Texas

---

Yes.

Dude is a snake.

i hurt

A few former MJ and RC players speaking up now. I just can't believe I fell for it. Again...

Supposedly all staff coming with him.

That's just business trouble.

All coaches will say that "this is the best fanbase ever and I'm not going anywhere" until they get a more attractive offer somewhere else (in their minds).

This just stings because it's the sips. You can't really trust anyone these days, not even the players because of transfer and NIL.

Our loyal is to Texas A&M as Aggies. Not coaches.

He's a liar

**** me for believing him.

Does that make you happy?

I'm not even home from this damn trip to support him

---

Same. Here I am eating ****ty Midwest Mexican food because I extended my trip to support what he was building.

Coming with?

or going with?

I guess the former if you're a sip...

Man, so many people who are clueless. Its always about business and $$$. If you get a better job with more $$$$, then you leave. We all do it. Unless there is a reason to be "city" stuck, you leave. Sch had no connections to CS. A better job with more $$$ came up. If you took the Maroon glasses off, most of us would leave too.

$30M is alot of money and sets his family up for life.

Emotions are running high this evening after losing the CWS and losing our HC to the sips.

Some people will be processing what happened for a very long time.

Hmmmmm

Dear Jennifer,

Most "ballparks" look great on camera but are ****ty in-person.

Just a PoV.

The OP aged like milk. Not sure why he said Jay Johnson's days at LSU are limited. That dude is loading up over there. He's not leaving until they want him too.

Wish atm had a made a run at him tbh. I'm optimistic about our situation but it's a gamble. After hearing how we are gonna throw "more money than ever" at the program, I was surprised to see us apparently unable to lure any big time proven coaches

And I have heard from a reliable source that Piece has already packed up and moved his stuff out of his office at tu.

---

I could definitely believe this. They are just waiting for the CWS to start up so that they can make things about them and get talked about during the CWS. Very on brand of them....

---

They are claiming that the replacement coach's season hasn't ended yet so they are waiting for that to make the announcement. If true, that certainly narrows the list...

---

I can claim to sleep with the whole Victoria's Secret model portfolio... doesn't make it true.

---

How are Vicky and her friends doing?

This thread didn't age well.

No coach from A&M or tu, who's the head coach of a high profile sport, will ever leave one school to go to the other.
