plus it's not a good sign when scouts are saying Henderson is going to be an easy signing.

On the field, things went well. The outfielder hit .322, second on the team, and he hit eight home runs and stole 10 bases. Not bad numbers considering he had a few hamstring issues. The Flames went 41-19, beat bigger schools such as North Carolina and Virginia and almost made it to the NCAA Regionals (Smith feels they were snubbed).

Academically, things were frustrating as he wasn't allowed to pursue a business major because of school rules involving his transferring credits. Smith was put into whatever degree he could fit so he could be eligible to play, he said. At first, it was religion; then it was sports management. For the most part, he took school-required classes. The idea was he could take all the sports management classes his senior year so he could still graduate on time.

Smith, who takes academics seriously and sports a 3.85 grade-point average, wasn't happy with how things went. He's thinking about not returning.

"I'm kind of up in the air," he said, "but I'm leaning more to not."

If he doesn't return, it means the year he spent a year taking classes didn't get him any closer to a degree.

Sad thing is the same thing happened to Rasmus last year. He was going to transfer for the exact same reason.

Ironically there was a time when baseball and to some extent soft all players were strongly DISCOURAGED from majoring in SMGT........

This is just wonderful. He seemed like one of the better recruits we had coming in. Any word as to why the change?

It will be tough to turn down the type of scratch that will be dangled in front of him. I get the feeling he is coming to school at LU whether or not he plays ball for us.

I know Stony Brook is only a football member but they just made it to the Super Regionals and are now 50-12. They had an outfielder, Jankowski, drafted in compensation round and picked 44th overall!

Yeah its amazing what Stony Brook and Coastal have been able to do nationally the last 2-3 years. Whereas we’re waffling in mediocrity on the national scene in the big 3.

You don't get as far as they get, especially SB without talent.
