this could potentially be big for IU... 

summer of 2021--we had Ben Hess Top 150 player committed and signed. Our pitching coach went to So Carolina, so Hess asked out of his LOI and went to Bama.... 

Since then--- Ben Hess 70IP 100K 3.86ERA (3.22ERA) with 15 starts. This was the arm we were missing the whole time... hoping this kid gets in the portal and wants to give IU another look. 

He isn't the only one that we could see benefits from though.... Bryce Eblin INF-- Center Grove kid is a 2yr starter at Bama, Nash Wagner Top 200 2024, Amhaad Duff Top 200 2024, Tate Troxell 2026, Hudson Devaughan 2026.

He must have delivered a rocket launcher instead of a gun.

This is directly related to the sportsbook in Ohio taking away the ability to bet on Bama baseball games. There is something VERY fishy going on. 

I figured, but point being i think delivering a gun to a murder might be even worse.

Saban has to be loving life. Got a Coach in Hoops who lets a player continue to play while being a part of someone getting murdered....now you got a baseball coach apparently having someone in Ohio bet on his team to lose? That had to be a sizeable bet for college baseball to get the attention of the gambling Gods.

When the story broke about the Ohio sportsbook, there were a couple of podcast/media outlets that mocked that sportsbook. haha.. they're eating their words now. 

Full disclosure. I'm a Saban fan.

My only problem with Saban isn't something that's really his fault. He's gotten the chance to play for national title 6x with a loss during regular season and winning 4 of his titles that way....almost backing into them. Being a Canes lifer there were at least 5-6 years where we were the best team in the country but when they lost one they were sent packing...just wish we got the same benefit.

To keep it on baseball. This Bama Head Coach has to be all sorts of dumb if Bama is doing termination this quickly. Must have taken their attorneys about 5 minutes to find the cause.

Notre Dame fans feel the same way

That would definitely be nice! Not sure if the NIL IU is offering will be competitive enough to snag these guys.

Ehh.. still gotta be playing time, thats BY far #1 in baseball. 

The Duff kid could start Day 1 in CF with Whalen moving on after next year.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out this offseason. I know Ole Miss has a lot of holes to fill in the portal.

None of these guys, unless Eblin or Hess get in the portal, would on a roster next year. 

IMO--- again, 10000% an opinion, baseball is different from basketball/football recruiting in regards to having a connection to the staff/knowing the staff/rapport with a staff before even being interested in being recruited by that school. 

Hopefully that gives us a leg up on the 4 in state kids. 

Simply put... ANY of the 4 kids in HS now moving their commitments to IU would be huge, more than 1 is massive.
