Behind the Scenes of Carolina Baseball:

If half of that is true (and I'm not doubting any of it) the entire coaching staff should be fired immediately. If they're not fired then I don't think very highly of our new AD. Very disturbing report. smdh
 
Apparently David Cloninger (Charleston Post and Courier reporter) has written something very similar on his newsletter.

And then you have the recent announcements from Scoby and LeCroy stating they will be back next year...NIL bags or love the team? I suspect like most situations truth is somewhere in the middle.

I start to get real uncomfortable with the fans groundswell effect, on some sites it has almost become a modern day lynching mission. There was a lot of the same fan vitriol (NOT REFERRING TO THIS SITE, for the most part everyone here is an actual adult with level-headed views), regarding Coach Paris and the horrible SEC record this past year. Not saying the baseball and basketball situation are the same, because baseball sounds like some real "culture" problems, but a lot of the same calls for firing. Hopefully, the AD will do a thorough post-season review of the team and leadership, and make an informed decision about the programs future direction. At the very least, maybe the AD can tell Coach Manieri to remove his LSU vanity tag off of his automobile while he is a SC coach.

Nothing to see here, all is well.
 
I know a lot of folks didn’t love Ray Tanner as our AD, but the man knew how to coach and run a baseball program. Sad how far this program has fallen since he left coaching.

I know. It just goes to highlight how great a coach he was all those years and don't think he doesn't know that one by now, either. LOL
 
Not concerned with the # of players leaving as much as I am the optics of it all. While it’s certainly not easy at all to just work the portal and sign enough to replace them all, are we a really any worse off trying that or keeping them? Sadly, I just don’t have much confidence in the staff to sign enough through either route nor coach up the ones staying, or a combination of both. At least until they prove otherwise. Still can’t get over the comments from PM at the end of the season being so surprised how much better the SEC is now than what he apparently thought.

I get what you're saying but it's going to be difficult to replace those numbers along with getting the 8 - 12 you would normally sign. I would assume that at some point he's going to have to just "take warm bodies" to fill the roster.

Like you I have zero confidence in this coaching staff at this point.
 
Looks like we picked up a couple of bats the past two days:

OF Tyler Bak (Wofford): June 10 - A left-handed hitting outfielder who can play center and put up solid numbers at Wofford. He hit .325 with 10 doubles, but also stole 15-of-17 bases on the season.

OF Ethan Lizama (Western Kentucky): June 11 - Lizama, who has played four seasons of college baseball but has one more year due to the "Pavia Rule," is a left-handed hitting slugger who had 18 doubles and 15 home runs in 2025 while playing right field with 60 RBIs.
