I found a stats link on the Mercer site that was not on the Southern Miss site.

What's up with Gabe Shepard. I didn't get to listen today, but this is the second game in a row where he went like 3 innings.

But here is what you do :

Cut yourself an industrial mop handle to fit. (make a rock bat) Then have someone deliver you a big pile of rocks. (OR JUST FIND SOME...)
You have to toss up your own rocks, and you can't quit.

Toss up a rock and hit it with the mop handle. When you get to the point where you can hit 8-9 of 10 rocks, you will murder a baseball. You will have totally retrained your eye and your ability to get the bat on the ball.

Then any time you get in a slump, it's back to the pile no matter where you are. I promise you, when a slump comes, you won't hit the rocks either, but when you get on the rocks again, the baseball is ezzee'peezy.

But what it will do, is to train what happens in that instant you pull the trigger A 95 mph fast ball takes a little less that a half second to reach the plate. You need to be able to see the ball quickly and focus on it. You wouldn't pitch the rock upward but outward with a slight arc. It will focus your eyes on the ball.

Wear your batting gloves, no blisters or splinters, please.

Rock Batters for the win!!! ( and what a theme...Rock Batters, get it???)

Former Southern Miss playmaker Quez Watkins became more than just a sleeper pick in a stacked wide receiver class after posting impressive numbers at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.

Looks like he is a scholly offer.

When Googling the meaning of grit, the definition of the word describes what Southern Miss baseball fans saw from the baseball team Tuesday night at Ole Miss. Per Google: Being a gritty person means that one tends to stick to their goals despite numerous issues, problems, setbacks and failures. The person has firmness of mind and unyielding courage.

Shelton Gandy resigned yesterday as the Head Football coach at Wayne County, and was seen at the Southern Miss baseball game on Sunday. There is some chatter he may be the next RB coach at Southern Miss.

We all already knew this, but this is the official announcement...


New Assistant Coaches

Since thing are not really alive on the board, I thought I would throw this out. I have no Idea what the OL will be like next year Will the addition of Doss be a major factor? Assuming it will, can the running game drastically change with the addition of Gore and Ragsdale? Last year, the running game really depended on one guy and and it was apparent to opposing defenses. Adding Perkins and Mosley to the mix could be just what we need to be successful.

Linebackers: Adding Hopkins and Morrow could make a big difference in that position. We did have some serious losses there due to graduation and guys no longer on the roster. We do have some good returners with Boothe, Boze, Latham and Maples. This could be a big surprise next year.

Secondary: Will there be an improvement? I think we have some talent there and some played early and have gained experience Malik could be a big part next year. I am hoping the new coach will help toward improvement.

Kickers There is need for a punter and a guy with enough leg to hit the end-zone on KOs. FG kicking may be a strong point

Thoughts?

The baseball team had 13 players out with the flu last night. Considering that, what a performance by those guys and those young pitchers were outstanding.

I was looking at photos of the wear on the mound in front of the rubber and in the common landing spot.
Is this something that is expected and replaced every few weeks? It’s had 7 games on it.

Honestly, this was a tight game. I didn't know what to expect. We've got to get some folks healthy. The flu among other things are a problem right now.

from the state of South Carolina. Brought a smile to my face and makes me need to put a sticker on the company car.

will be fun to watch the next few years. Impressed with their young players. More than their top 3 freshman recruiting class years back. (My personal opinion only. I did play for the Cubs in the 60’s) We won it all when I was 12. TTT!

Interested to hear y'all's thoughts on this:

NCAA "moving quickly" to allow a one-time transfer exemption in all sports without sitting out a year.

One P5 coach was quoted saying "They're going to be our G-league. They'll be our 'amateur league where we draw players from. Every kid wants to play in the Power 5."

Will this hurt us as bad as it sounds? Or will it help us because it would allow the kids buried in the depth chart at those top programs who want to compete immediately? Lots of factors to consider. The transfer portal has already become a more common issue in recent years.

IMO, I don't think the NCAA would consciously do anything that hurts the Money 5.

Does this widen or narrow the gap?

I got this from a pretty reliable source, but until USM confirms it, I will leave as a rumor...

1. A Davis: Move from DB's to RB's Coach

2. Tim Billings will move from DC to TE Coach

3. Reed Stringer will move from TE to OLB Coach

4. Coach Pec who is back will be the DC

Looks like it will be Drew Boyd. Going to need 3 good innings out of him to give the Eagles an opportunity for a win.

4 players out and not at ballpark. Blaylock, Stanley, Boyd, and 1 more pitcher.
