Major rule change lets baseball and softball hire a third paid assistant coach

Way overdue

 

Dooes this mean we finally get a hitting coach?

 

Need to increase the amount of money for scholarships also or the number of scholarships which ever applies.

 

One small step for common sense. Unusual for the NCAA!

 

Amazing on how long this took. It's time to scrap the NCAA model and move towards a true Power 5 league in order to eliminate being dragged along by schools that aren't financially competitive.

 

Does this mean they can't get NIL Camp money any more since they are now professionals??? I jest, kind of.

 

So , Head coach , 3 paid assistant coaches , can they still have a volunteer assistant coach ?

 

Walton needs to call Amanda Lorenz asap.

 

Isn't her husband on staff or otherwise employed at Clemson?

 

Yes but make her an offer they can’t refuse. She’s a future head coach in waiting.

 

Think she would be well served to spread her wings a little. Get some experience outside of UF, would likely make her a better coach down the line

 

With the change in the portal rule earlier this week to “one and done,” lightning has struck twice for the NCAA.

 

2 blind squirells..

 

A broken clock is right twice a day.

 

they did, and its unlimited...NIL

 

At the banquet last night, coach Walton announced that Cassady Brewer was the new paid assistant coach and she’ll be working 1st base and with the catchers.

I was a little late with my suggestion to Coach Walton - I suggested we hire Jocelyn Ano for these reasons:

She’d be a great coach to help develop a home run swing
She would obviously have the name to be a great recruiter

And

It would piss off Patty Gasso!

But Alas, Cassady Brewer it is. I wish her the best.

 

Cass will be a great hire.....you couldn't find someone that grew up on the ballfield more than her. She absolutely has lived it her whole life. A grinder who made herself into an elite player.....played little league with the boys for several years and was better than most.
And she knows the state. Played at Apopka and UCF, dad is coach at Apopka HS, brother was an AA at West Fl and coached there and Stetson before now at Miami, uncle Rodney played for UF, sister played at Aub and was a college head coach before motherhood. Lower key personality than Amanda Lorenze but will still relate

 

And more deets from the Banquet for those who weren't able to make it?
