“I was committed to South Carolina two weeks before my sophomore year of high school. That was right off their back-to-back national championships so I couldn’t say no. They offered me a scholarship, [and I said], ‘Yes sir, I’d love to come,’” he said. “And I was coming back the June before my senior year and Coach [Chad] Holbrook, he told me and my dad to make a run through Columbia on my way back from Atlanta. He told me I wasn’t good enough to play at his program on a scholarship, so I told him I’d think about it and I called him a couple weeks later and told him I’d like to go somewhere else and try my chances. [Coastal Carolina pitching coach Drew] Thomas saw me at a showcase, and here we are going to LSU.”

I wonder if Liberty got a flyer from SC on the possibility that Lancaster was available...

We need one right!?!? Any chance we could get there coach?
He is a Coastal alum, and if he is not a "lifer" yet, he is the closest thing to it I seriously doubt he would consider an offer from anywhere outside the elite P5 baseball programs in the country, and when you look at what they have done this year, even that might not tempt him Other than the $$ (which is always a factor, no matter what anyone says) why would you leave a place you love when you are competing for national championships there
