“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...

Coastal is in the College World Series. South Carolina laid an egg in their Super regional.

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

Gilmore turned down Auburn and a ton of money in 08. He's staying at Coastal until 2020 when his contract runs out and then he's hanging it up.

I don't know the man, but something tells me he is not going to retire at 62

Except that's what he's said.
