RADFORD -- Joe Raccuia is right back where he started.

After five stops on the college baseball coaching ladder, the former Radford University baseball player and coach is expected to be named the new Highlanders coach today.

Radford has scheduled a 2 p.m. news conference to introduce the successor to Lew Kent, who resigned when his contract expired in April.

From reading the article it appears they actually got it right...of course, if the admin doesn't pull its head out of its backside then it won't matter who they get.
