Clemson introduces Monte Lee

Clemson introduced Monte Lee as its new baseball coach on Monday. I'd accepted a Monday free-lance assignment in Spartanburg before Clemson changed its press conference from last week. I wish I hadn't because the Spartanburg assignment turned out to be a dud.

Charleston Southern player's mother among church shooting victims

One of the things I like doing on this Website is finding tidbits regarding baseball players at South Carolina colleges and sharing that information.

Here's one instance where I hate doing it.

Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, one of the nine people killed in the shooting at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church on Wednesday night, was the mother of Charleston Southern freshman baseball player Chris Singleton.

Mrs. Coleman-Singleton also was a pastor at the church, a speech therapist and the girls track coach at Goose Creek High School.

Chris Singleton played 50 games for the Buccaneers in 2015, batting .245. Earlier today, he was named to   PalmettoStateBaseball.com's freshman all-state team for NCAA Division I schools.

Without getting too preachy, many of our world's problems would be solved if more people got their hearts right with God.

Who should be PalmettoStateBaseball.com's NCAA DI player of the year?

I've almost completed the process of selecting all-state teams for the NCAA Division I, NCAA DII/NAIA and junior college levels, but I don't see a clear front-runner for DI player of the year.

I've listed some of what I consider to be the top candidates in a poll at right and am asking you to vote for the player you think is most deserving.  If you think someone else deserves the honor, vote "Someone else" and identify them in the comments section of this post.

The poll runs through 7 p.m. Sunday. I'll use your input to help me make my final decision.

One note: pitcher of the year is a separate category

Thanks for your help!

The more I hear about the circumstances of Jack Leggett's dismissal from Clemson, the more convinced I am that it was handled very poorly.

I hear Leggett was given every indication Tuesday that his contract would be extended. Then Thursday he was blindsided. He deserved better.

It was also disingenuous - at best - for Dan Radakovich to tell me he didn't think his instructions to Leggett last June would go public...

...considering Radakovich called reporters to his office & specifically enumerated the things he told Leggett to change. Undermined Leggett.
