ADVERTISEMENTS coll=orl-sports-headlines College baseball changes looming Coaches fear new rules aimed at helping academic performance will end up hurting the game. Dave Curtis Sentinel Staff Writer May 22, 2007 South Carolina baseball Coach Ray Tanner fumes every time he hears about the changes. The NCAA, in an effort to boost the academic performance of players throughout college baseball, has approved changes Tanner thinks may harm the game he loves. "There are going to be issues with this," Tanner said on a Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference earlier this month. "And the caliber of play in college baseball is probably going to go down." "This" is a four-pronged overhaul of Division I college baseball rules approved in April by the NCAA Board of Directors and set to take effect for the 2008-09 academic year. Starting then, teams will face new standards for doling out their scholarships and new limits to the numbers on their rosters. Players must be academically eligible in late summer rather than mid-winter. And any player who transfers to another Division I school must sit out a year, a rule previously enforced only in football, basketball and men's ice hockey. The changes, recommended by a study group of coaches and administrators, are designed to increase the academic performance of D-I players. But they will affect almost every corner of the game, from summer leagues to high-school recruits to teams' budgets.

    Uncut Gems: Assorted questions, mainly literature, that weren’t good enough to go into other packets By Mike Bentley December 2019 1. An artist who commonly went by this first name built his reputation as a genre painter with ​ ​ an ambiguous 1859 painting that could be read as both pro- and anti-slavery titled Negro Life at ​ the South. That artist with this first name has his name emblazoned on the entrance of the Met ​ and earned a reputation as the American Rembrandt for his folksy paintings of Lincoln. A man with this last name developed a process for making ✂ dry plates in the 1880s and lends his ​ ​ ​ ​ name to a School of Music run by the University of (*) Rochester. That same man with this surname ​ introduced a wildly popular point-and-shoot device originally targeted at children called the Brownie. For 10 points, give this last name of George, who developed the Kodak camera. ANSWER: Eastman [accept Eastman Johnson or George Eastman] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. One of these people hatches a plot that relies on a woman having tattoo where the words "God" and "Love" form a cross. One of these people comes up with a ritual called a Particicution in which a ✂ guilty person is kicked to death and then torn apart by dozens shrieking people. ​ ​ Before becoming a full-fledged one of these people, they are sent abroad in pairs on Pearl Girl missions. One of these people writes the (*) Ardua Hall Holograph, a text that details how she schemed ​ ​ ​ to bring about the downfall of Commander Judd. Three of these people who, unusually for their society are taught how to read and write, narrate the 2019 sequel The Testaments.

Most importantly, Mainieri and his assistant coaches – Terry Rooney, Cliff Godwin and Blair Barbier – have spent the past several months educating themselves about the assets of the young men that comprise the 2007 LSU squad. Mainieri said that the Tigers’ four-week fall practice session in October revealed much about the team’s assets. “We found out an awful lot about our team this fall, and most of it was very good,” Mainieri said. “I don’t think we’re going to have many candidates for All-American this year, but I do think the kids are going to play hard, they’re going to play with a lot of enthusiasm, and I do think we have enough talent to win.” The ’07 Tigers feature 18 returning lettermen, including four position starters and seven pitchers that recorded innings last season. The youthful squad includes 23 freshmen and sophomores – and just four seniors - on a 37-man roster. “I do think we have enough talent to be a very competitive team this spring,” Mainieri said. “The kids have really responded to a new style of coaching, and it’s been a lot of fun watching them develop.” The 2007 Tigers Lettermen Returning/Lost: 18/14 Position Starters Returning/Lost: 4/5 Pitchers Returning/Lost: 7/7 Returning Redshirts: 2 Newcomers: 17 (11 high school players, 4 JUCO transfers, 2 four-year college transfers) By Class By State Seniors: 4 Louisiana: 25 Juniors: 10 Florida: 7 Sophomores: 11 Alabama: 2 Freshmen: 12 Mississippi: 2 Maine: 1 58 2007 LSU BASEBALL OFFICIAL YEARBOOK 2007 Outlook Position Players INTRO THIS IS LSU While pleased with the work ethic and team, is the Tigers’ projected starter at He batted .273 with two doubles, one PREVIEW energy displayed by the LSU position second base.
