Welcome to the best series of the season. Huge crowd at Muni.

After 5 it is 5-5 and one heck of an atmosphere.

For someone who has recently doubted Bloomquist has "it", I'm back tracking on that comment.

Bloomquist called for a hit and run that pulled the SS out of the hole and Jackson went oppo with a grounder through to get the RBI. The commotion caused the UofA LF to bobble the ball allowing a Sun Devil time to score.

Later that same inning, Vu pulled a bunt past the pitcher and into the 2B territory where the 2B had vacated to cover first. Fantastic job by Bloomquist to PRESSURE the defense. This is a perfect example of his evolvement into a college coach instead of a professional instructor.

I assume a lot of you are at the game. Couldn't be more impressed with the crowd.

Let's hope we can pull this one out.

The worst kept secret in Tempe is finally out of the open with his dad's announcement. The fact that his son is just exploring entering the portal may leave some hope that he still could stay. I believe that him being cleared for contact approximately 7 months after ACL surgery is kind of ambitious but I guess we'll see.

It's a new week, but the same trend continues. Newcomers, as well as players who seldom saw the field last year, continue to flash in practice, showcasing the Sun Devils' depth, and today's session was a truly balanced performance by the offense and the defense.

Logged another prediction for The Texas 2 Tempe movement

We have our first group in town this weekend. Any commits on the horizon?

unfortunately the New Reality stories like this hitting us more and more........this kid signed his "contract" in high school, received $$ while still in HS, so obviously his expectations not normal compared to the rest of us..........$8M contract, making $2M+ per yr, and wanted more???

To my note smells of dad/agent comparing his $ to others and saying "time to renegotiate"..........sad that he would not return calls to the HCoach leading up to his decision to leave, just shows you kid far more invested in himself than the team, so for me kudos to Tennessee

Yes he will find someone who will show him the money, but just shows that the need for a college athletics unified front is going to be increasingly important moving forward, or the system will collapse short of 20-30 programs.....and if that happens well only the crazies will be left around to watch what use to be the best game in town!

a lot of good info in this story - his reps had reached out to Oregon BEFORE spr ball even started......

Saturday’s session was shorter in nature, yet productive and well received by Kenny Dillingham, who feels his team is on its proper pacing with several newcomers making their mark. Here are our observations

not that this is a surprise

“We’re in a really good spot; guys have been practicing their tails off. Things are taking shape in the right way.” It may have been expected for a veteran ASU team to perform in spring at a high level, but the Sun Devil coordinators are not taking this for granted

More here on the hire of Molly Miller with analysis from veteran women's basketball beat writer Jeff Metcalfe: "I think she could come in here and capture the imagination of the fans and the public, in general, a little bit like Kenny Dillingham has done. "
