Two Publications Tab Dan McDonnell as Candidate for South Carolina Job​

McDonnell has been the head coach of the Louisville baseball program since 2007.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Every offseason, it seems that at some point Louisville baseball head coach Dan McDonnell gets tied to a major job opening. We've now officially hit that point in the current offseason.

On Monday, South Carolina officially parted ways with head coach Mark Kingston after seven seasons with the Gamecocks. Not long afterwards, both Baseball America and D1Baseball named McDonnell as one of their top candidates to watch.

"With no word on when Ole Miss head coach Mike Bianco might retire, this could be McDonnell’s best shot and fit to be an SEC coach if he so desires," D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers wrote.

Baseball America's Teddy Cahill cited McDonnell's time in the state of South Carolina stemming from his time as a player and coach at The Citadel, and that "if he can convince (USC AD Ray) Tanner that he hasn’t lost his fastball, he’d be a solid fit."

McDonnell has been one of the most successful coaches in college baseball during his 18 years as the skipper of the Cardinals. He sports an overall record of 742-330-1 and .692 win percentage since his hiring in 2007, has five appearances in the College World Series, and is a two-time National Coach of the Year.

Cook spent the weekend at Louisville for his official visit and things couldn’t have gone better. The longtime Cardinals pledge was focused on peer recruiting during his visit and spent a lot of time with wide receiver
Carl Jenkins and offensive tackle Chastan Brown.

We’ll see if more programs enter the picture but Cook is very happy with his decision.

I’ll start by explaining the Data, I have included all of the CURRENT P4 schools including Notre Dame and excluding Oregon St and Washington State. The data I took was HS kids taken in the 23’ and 24’ classes.

To kick things off the we will start with conference averages over the past 2 years. ACC classes have averaged 20.2 kids per class the past 2 years. SEC: 23.06, B10: 21.61 (this was tanked by UCLA who has taken 12.5 kids the past 2 classes), and last but not least B12: 19.625. All 68 P4 teams averaged 21.15 kids per class. Louisville averaged 16.5.

20/68 schools averaged less than 20 Hs kids per class, majority were right on the cusp at 18.5 or more. Only 7/68 schools have taken on less kids than Louisville. So sorry. Not 98/2% but 89/11%. Those 7 teams ARE Boston college, SMU, Cal, Indiana, UCLA, UCF, and Kansas. Is that the pool of schools you want to be associated with?

Everyone feel free to ask questions. The numbers will be a little skewed because I think this staffs magic number is 15. The 23’ class was at 18. If 15 is their number that would be the 3rd lowest in the country behind SMU and UCLA

who will pop at the end of the month

It was a pretty big recruiting weekend and not many updates or posts. There have been guys posting screen shot of the 247 board but not much else unless I missed it.

Does anyone know if it is possible to cancel the yearly membership in the middle of your membership and get a refund or partial refund? I believe I first signed up for this account in 2006. I come to these boards a couple times per day looking for some news and, as we have all been experiencing over the last few months, NOTHING. This is not what I signed up for. I feel like we all deserve a refund on this last year. If I order a pizza and do not get a pizza, I get a refund. If I order this service and do not get anything, should we not get a refund? I know I can cancel, but I assume that there is no chance of even a partial refund. Anyone have any info?

Thanks!
