BB: NCAC: North Coast Athletic Conference

I feel like Deegan could be a good choice, only issue though is that one of the preferred list is previous head coaching at the collegiate level.  Does he have head coaching experience?  Also would he need to change his recruiting requirements Denison requires for admittance? 

On the field I feel like he'd be a great person to lead this team, I'm just hopeful he can take this talent to its potential. 

As far as recruiting local Ohio talent, one of the big pushes though from the admissions is to go after people outside Ohio.  Over the past years Denison has grown in getting all students not just baseball player is only 20% Ohio.  Surprisingly they do very well in California, Chicago.  Denison wants more diversity on campus which means people from out of state.  This is just information through the grapevine, don't quote me on that though just from what I've heard.  I know next years class has people from Ohio but also have another 8 states represented.  So they are going after that "national" feel that admissions would like. 

Coach Clark from what I"m hearing has left to pursue other opportunities.  I wish the best for him.

Finally got around to looking it up. Coach deegan does have coaching expierience form the Great Lakes summer league. He was the head coach of the Southern Ohio Copperheads.
From Marietta's Site:

Deegan spent the summer of 2007 as the head coach of the Southern Ohio Copperheads and earned Manager of the Year in the Great Lakes League. Deegan, who guided the Copperheads to the most wins in franchise history with 25, also led Southern Ohio to their best postseason finish in history.

Not sure if thats enough.

Big Red, any news on who Denison is looking at.

Sorry I have no idea.  Not hearing too much.

I was in Tiffin this weekend to watch my youngest in a tournament. I had the pleasure of meeting Ex Wooster player Zack Vesko http://www.woosterathletics.com/sports/bsb/2011-12/bios/vesco_zack_6q9t

He is currently working with Tiffin University Base ball and hoping to latch on someplace as a GA. An outstanding young man. I wish him luck in his endeavors and hope to see him on an opposing bench next year.

Just read on Denisons web site: http://denisonbigred.com/sports/bsb/2011-12/releases/2012062850iwf9

This should be a good pick up for Denison. Hope he gets it going for the Big Red.

So much for Denison wanting someone with previous head coaching experience.  I was hoping they wouldn't hold to that blindly.  This is a great hire for DU.  Best of luck to Coach Deegan.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

Dr. I believe they count his time as head coach in the Great Lakes League with the Copper Heads as experience. They made sure to mention it in the article. This should be a good hire. Looking at Marrietta's roster most kids are from Ohio and PA with a couple of east coast kids thrown in. He surely recruit, he will need to learn new territory unless Denison lets him recruit were he wants.

I had heard Mike Clark wanted to recruit Ohio more, but i don't know that he ever did.

Miller's 33 K to 4 BB in those 28 IP is sick.  Those are GREAT numbers.

I saw him pitch in the spring and He is a very good Pitcher. Unfortunately my son was the opposing pitcher that day and we could not get him much run support.

[Bishopleftiesdad]

That's it for the Prospect League I will look through the Great Lakes another day. Looks like Depauw is very connected at least in the prospect league. Jake Martin is doing a good job of getting his players into the league.
