Class of '66 Old Fart

Aiden Derkack has received his release from Providence and will reopen his recruitment, he told @Rivals. The 6-6 wing is the No. 66 overall recruit in the 2026 class. This observation from @Demo yesterday - The best player in this game for Spire imo was pretty clearly ‘26 wing Aiden Derkack. Had a nice game and competed his a$$ off even when it started to get away from them. Currently a Providence commit and had an IU offer from the current staff. Depending what happens with the HC situation at Providence that situation could possibly come back around.

I think Rutger is in a hurry to get back to New Jersey. God only knows why! Hoosiers looking for the series sweep with an 8-0 lead after 2 complete.

Definitely agree with you on Moody. In some respects, Qayden Samuels' injury was a good thing for Moody personally because it made him assume the leadership role on the McNamara team.

I haven't been watching. Have they called our name yet? dws

Are they allowed to do that?

We're now 0-2 on the weekend losing to Oregon today 5-1. Neubeck started and went 4 innings giving up 7 hits and charged with all 5 Oregon runs. Mastalski, Engish and Haas closed it out and only allowed 1 more hit but the damage was done. We had a whopping 2 hits today after getting just 5 yesterday. Try to salvage one tomorrow before flying home. Tuesday evening we'll be at Vanderbilt. Next weekend we host Minnesota for a weekend series.

Glad to hear Karvala played today and played well. In yesterday's game early in the 3rd , he took a hard shot to the face and went straight down. Nothing malicious or intentional, it just happened but for a minute or 2, I don't think he could have told you where he was or what day of the week it was. He did not play the rest of yesterday's game.

IYKYK

Guess you need to start practicing some load management! lol
