Prothro Will Not Return As EKU Baseball Head Coach, Walt Jones Chosen To Lead Program.

Interesting. So they hire a complete dud who does well with other peoples recruits and then can't get his own players to perform. Then he leaves. I guess the only people who could have seen this coming was ...

How is it possible the team is this bad when all of Thompson's recruits are gone (exceptions Max Williams and Santiago Peralta) and this is 100% Prothro's team? Who could have seen that this guy is a terrible coach and a total clown?

As of right now there are 0 players in the portal transferring into EKU and 14 players transferring out. Notably Kendal who is going to UK.

The Colonels now make the jump to the A-Sun, and ...

Not sure if you are aware of this but last year we were the bottom of the OVC.

I can't tell if you are agreeing with me or not, but when I looked at the schedule all I thought was "meh." I will continue to go to games and watch them but if you think this schedule is thrilling let us know what you ...

As opposed to previous years when they did not want to have a good record??

I hope they have a good record every year. All I said was this schedule is not thrilling.

I mean we opened at Arizona, at Georgia Tech at LSU on the MLB network, played a weekend series at UVA, etc. previously. Played at Vandy at Mississippi State. This year it does not look like we are going after any big weekend opponents. I enjoyed when they played top 25 teams on a weekend.Looks like ...
