Transfer Portal: UL Baseball

Mending the fences with the Greeks (and sincerely mean it and sustain it) would go a very long way.

Got a new MBB coach. If students (future donors) are still suppressed with Coach White, MBB will struggle over the long haul to have fans.

When the bulk of your big individual donors are tapping out due to age, health, apathy and death, it’s time for the powers that be to get creative. And flipping to social media is nice, but obviously not getting it done.

People like Heymann, Foreman, Lamson, Mosing and such don’t grow on trees.

It involves work. Work is still hard in 2025.

It isn't like no one has ever told the President and/or the AD all of this, on multiple occasions over several decades.

All of this. That’s why I’ve been saying to be careful with the students. Giving them bad experiences will haunt us in the future when asking them to donate.

Students at UL who have positive experiences in academics and/or athletics can be a donation engine for the university for years to come. The key is creating experiences that create value for the student, now alumnus. If a student goes to a football games, enjoys the seating, experience, and winning culture how much more likely are they to donate in the future?

The problem we have at UL is we missed out on creating those donation engines especially in football from about 1997 to 2011. The future value of a student that graduates from UL is uncertain, but creating experiences that build attachment to the university are a great way to ensure that the student remembers UL in their charitable giving.

Regardless of timing, there is no official "committed" status. A prospect is a prospect until he/she signs a Letter of Intent or enrolls in classes and becomes a student athlete.

Don't hold your breath for that to happen anytime soon. This has been in the making for 10 plus years and yet they still can't get it built. What an embarrassment and total failure on the university's part..

Not the most important sport here…so get a grip
