Does anyone know anything about UNA (North Alabama) baseball? I have noticed they have very few PG commitments for 2023 and 2024 (on e2023 listed). More recently, they have announced plans to build a new "multi-purpose" stadium on the site of the baseball complex. One article says it would host baseball, but others list only football and soccer. For reference, the softball field in about a mile up the road off campus, evidence that they do not have any real vacant land to relocate baseball on campus. They are new to D1 with a new coach - did not fare well in 2023 and assume they may lean heavily into the portal for their immediate needs.
