As some of you know, Keljin lost his father year before last at a very young age, and they were an extremely close family.

A cousin or uncle plays for the Portland Trailblazers and recently signed a huge contract. He has basically adopted that whole family and is helping all of them move to Portland, including Keljins mom.

Keljin decided he wanted to be close to family and has an opportunity to transfer to one of the Portland Universities and not be several thousand miles from their new home.

Believe this to be factual but "can not guarantee it."

We are trying to sign a late grad juco and a graduated senior transfer but nothing for sure.
No word on Cary transferring.

Former BGN senior writer Cory Gunkel was involved in a bad accident last night.

Here are the details:

My freshman (soon to be sophomore) USM honor student son needs summer employment while staying in Hattiesburg. As an out of state father and alum, I would appreciate any leads. Thanks.

Cockrell pulled after 2 batters with apparent injury. Winston in.

I recently heard a commercial on WWL radio in NOLA for Tulane football season tickets. Prices as low as $100. Divide that by 6 and you get $15.67 per ticket. Well lower than their usual face value.

Need great crowds

Wow..
What a treasure. I still believe!
Go Eagles!

She's done an amazing job...

Our bats have to get hot again to offset our pitching woes.

What is the problem? Each year we see this same thing. Our bats start hot, and then fade away as the season goes. Early we face lesser strength in pitching, yes, but my "stinking instincts" tell me something else is a work.

We have young men that can hit. They have always been able to hit, from their days in little league they have hit the ball.

Honestly, what we should have seen is that they should get stronger as the season goes. Experience and practice at the plate should do that.

What's up ???

All you locals, I am in need of insider knowledge. I'm told the best rental houses are never advertised. If anyone knows of a nice 3-4BR that will be available before this Fall, please let me know...

It is down at the bottom of the article linked:

Every year, every year

Cockrell on Friday, McCarty to Sat, TBA Sunday.

This may not be new to some of you but it is new to me.

Baseball America and Division I Baseball published their respective regional tournament projections and Southern Miss is a host team in both.

I am wondering what our strategy is in recruiting students to Southern Miss.
My church (Broadmoor Baptist, Madison) had it's annual HS graduation service this morning. Program for the ceremony lists name, potential major and where they plan to attend college. We have 80 kids that are graduating. Zero planning on attending Southern Miss.

Breakdown was

Mississippi State -22
Mississippi -22
Mississippi College -10
Community College -14
Alabama -2
Other out of state -6
Not listed -4

That is a pretty good number of kids. Are we simply not recruiting north of I-20?

Is anyone planning on going to the NFL HOF induction this summer? My son and I are planning on making the trip. Does anyone have any of the details on any of the activities or places to stay, etc? Thanks!

They have Southern Miss in the CUSA standings with more conferences losses and more losses overall than the correct number for each. Who would be the contact at Southern Miss to get that corrected?

How many teams make the tournament, and who owns the tiebreaker if it is 8 teams between UTSA and us?

Because I'd really like to hear what they have to say about USM in their stock report article.

D1Baseball.com has released its projections: http://www.d1baseball.com/projections/d1baseballs-field-64-may-4/

We are still in the hosting conversation. Tough regional though with SELA, LSU and Wake Forest. This regional would be paired with MSU for the super-regional.
