RHP Blake Goins has opted to transfer to a Junior College. Likely landing spot will be San Jacinto Jr College.

There is a ton of back ground info on this that led to his decision. This was his decision, not the coaches.

Best of luck Blake!

Do you know anything on a LHP by the name of Justin Knode? He's up your way..

2-sport kid from Kennewick, WA.

2018 I believe. Younger than what we generally see in our games. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can find out where he plays his summer ball.

Just got word that Andy McGuire will also be leaving the program. Andy is headed to USC Aiken which is a Division II school.

Yep. It's a great move for Andy. He will have an opportunity to reset and get some quality looks there. Solid coaching staff and they've had some players drafted including a couple this year.

The D2 route means that he doesn't have to sit out a year and can play right away. There was some interest from D1 schools but sitting out a year is not what he wanted.

He will get time at SS, 3B and likely see some innings in late relief.

Best of luck to a great kid and his family. They're good people.

On another note, I am hearing that Andy wants to come back to Texas and complete his degree. Kid bleeds burnt orange and ya gotta love that about him.

Good luck to McGuire. I became a fan of McGuire when he moved to the mound and didn't complain at all. 

Does anyone know if he's going to continue to pitch or move back to SS/3B?

Both from what I've heard.  Will play either SS or 3B, and will probably get some late relief opps on the bump.

Spoke to his Dad.. Sounds like he will strictly focus on hitting..
