I'm thinking we may have underestimated the impact Brandon could have on the baseball side. That is crazy production, even if the pitchers were lobbing up batting práctica softies.

At some point he'll need to pick a sport, but I don't think that day has come. He really seems determined to do both. Nothing in the rules to prevént his playing college FB and pro BB, and it used to be fairly common. Not so much any more. Toó many risks for the pro team. I think he will be a Flame for 3 or 4 years, depending on how he does in each sport.

Guys,

He is going to Liberty, I have already put in for my Football Season tickets and have rented places to stay for each home game. If he goes in the draft, he will pay me back! LOL

Baseball Season is over for Brandon. Great Season for the Gators. Brandon was named Region V-AAAA Player of the Year and selected to play in the Select Game in June. He continues to get his workout done that was sent to him by Coach Gillespie. He will report to Liberty June 12. Looking forward to coming to Lynchburg on the 12th.

Old Flame, that is his plan but he said he will play wherever the team needs him to play, special teams, LB, RB, wherever!

Great Win by the Liberty Flames Baseball team. It was great talking to and hanging out with Head Coach Jim Toman and Brandon and talking baseball and expectations for Brandon and just talking baseball. The Flames will play Longwood tomorrow at 4:30. Going back to support the Flames. Coastal Fans were talking crap about not having the tournament at their stadium. Lot of talk about them being punished for leaving for the Sun Belt and having to pay a million dollars because they left the Big South and they took the host site of the tournament from them. Lot of Whining from the Chants but they had a tough game that they won and they had to come back and win it in the 6th inning. Hope the Flames meet up with them for the Championship.

I hope all is well in Flame Nation. It was great being in town last Sunday to drop Brandon off and meet the incoming freshman as they begin summer classes and workouts. Great looking class and I am excited to watch their development. They are all living next to each other to bond and get ready for the college grind. Brandon is excited and is loving it in Liberty. He just finished his first week of classes and workouts and loves the energy of his teammates in the weightroom, 7 on 7 and in the film room. I just talked to him to let him know he was voted player of the year and to check on him. He is enjoying the rest this weekend before the start of week 2. Looking forward to the upcoming season. I have the article attached below on Brandon's selection. Go Flames!

Having Brandon on board for baseball as well as football should soften the blow of losing our top 2 baseball signees to MLB.

Brandon and Livingston Morris give us 2 really big and athletic OFs, the kind of athletes that don't often make it to the college diamond these days.
