New UL Baseball Commit

No, he has already stated he is not going anywhere until the ball park is upgraded.

I guess that means we should delay it another 10 years? I told y'all Farmer had a plan!

Now that's funny right there.. I don't care who you are

[CajunEXPRESS]

That wasn't a joke. But yea funny for sure.

No coach on the planet deserves & has earned facility upgrades more than Tony.....he needs to be throwing that 1st pitch in his new Baseball Temple sooner vs later. We are blessed to have him.

Just my opinion, but I think a lot more about "Tony" himself and the program he runs has been advertised the last year and a half. I think that has a lot to do with recruiting as well. Parents are more content with their kids here than signing a minor league contract. jmo

You are probably right on several levels. A parent can convince their son that he can come to UL, get a college degree, play baseball at a very high level AND be molded into a MAN by THE Man! Or, he can sign a small, minor league contract, get treated like a piece of meat and chewed up and spit out by the organization and have only about a 1% or 2% chance of making it to the Big's. Then after playing in the minor leagues for a few years, come home and try to figure out what to do with the rest of their lives.

I kind of like Option #1!!!
