It's the Eastern Kentucky Colonels on this fine Sunday afternoon!
I've been to Richmond, Kentucky and I am hoping to get back there one day!
Thank you Coach Wells and @EKUFootball for sending this package over, let's go COLONELS!
So proud of my former player @ajaylewis on getting the opportunity to be in staff for the @cubs at the @mlb level. Things in life are earned and he has done everything to earn this opportunity.
What a journey he has been on! There are many different ways to make it to THE SHOW. Congratulations AJ 🫡💪🏽
Loud 1-2 punch here from @EKUBaseball’s Elijah Underhill, who reached 97 with his fastball yesterday, pairing it with a mid-80s slider he located for strikes. ‘26 elig.

Silas Shaffer (‘26, Elig) letting his strength work on the double here, quiet operation getting to the barrel with regularity for the @EKUBaseball freshman backstop
So proud of my former player @inseedub at @GaStateBaseball and former assistant @EKUBaseball. No surprise he is doing great things for the @Rockies. All he needed was an opportunity and he took advantage of the rest! Thanks to @tbrooksBIN for the pipeline.

What’s better than getting drafted? Having your best friend and your brother by your side when you do. Congratulations to @willking16_ (@EKUBaseball) on getting drafted by the @Braves! #CapeLeague#MLBDraft
Will King (@YD_RedSox | @EKUBaseball | '23) had three hits yesterday and is now hitting .361 for YD. The catcher hit .346/.427/.626 w/ 12 HR this spring and is one of the youngest eligible college players as he hasn't turned 20 yet.

If I am @MemphisBaseball, I'm taking a very hard look at Georgetown associate head coach Julius McDougal and Jackson State head coach Omar Johnson as the next head man. McDougal is a rising assistant and Omar has done a terrific job at JSU. #Memphis
