Saw Purdue was 21st in one of them but not the others. There are a lot. D1 baseball is one to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a two-game midweek series being played at the minor league park in Biloxi. State has to right the ship after dropping two out of three at Tulane over the weekend and losing ace Landon Sims potentially for the season. Ole Miss learned yesterday it will be without star outfielder Kevin Graham for the next 4 weeks as he has surgery tomorrow on a fractured wrist. Pretty big blow, but that lineup is deep. I continue to be concerned about the starting pitching and think we could see an adjustment made as early as this weekend vs. Oral Roberts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We vacationed there two summers ago. Incredibly cheap area, but also pretty nice. This stadium is connected to the Bellagio Casino. Gorgeous Casino literally right on the Gulf.

The Mississippi Gulf (and the Alabama gulf too) is very underrated. Great people in that state that love their baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place called Baccus on the Beach in Pass Christian, MS. Wonderful restaurant. Very French oriented area and they are usually LSU fans. Not MSU or Ole Miss fans, in that area. Creole runs thick.

Vandy has a significant scholarship advantage over most other schools. That's why they are able to recruit effectively nationwide. I guess the academic reputation doesn't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Texas got awful news today that Tanner Whitt will be out for the season. They also took their first L of the year last night vs. Tex St. There had to be 5K people at Texas game last night.

The gist is that Vandy is essentially able to offer each player a full scholarship while most public institutions are forced to make due with dividing up 11.7 total scholarships amongst a roster of 35 players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal22 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I found this article on the scholarship component of college baseball. Stretching Scholarship Dollars Key To College Success (baseballamerica.com) The lottery aspect is pretty interesting. I know Mississippi is not a lottery state while many of its neighboring SEC states do have some semblance of lottery scholarship funding. Makes life even more difficult in the SEC West.
