Tony Vitello to the Giants?

@Blake Munroe heard any news on this? Crazy to even think this could happen but if so it could obviously open up a lot of talented players to the portal. Could the Horns benefit? I'm thinking they are already maxed out on scholarships.

There was a fun discussion on MLB yesterday about this possibility.  Turns out that Alex Avila played at Tenn......not this coach...... The issue, of course, is will MLB players listen to a college guy.   There have been college guys that make the move.  I tend to think that at the professional level, the boss makes suggestions....not demands.  We will see.

Then Again:    Will Devers listen to anyone?           we all no the answer......

The smoke is real. I don't know if Vitello will end up in SFG or not. His run at Tennessee has been spectacular, but many college coaches are starting to feel like they are coaching pro teams. Might as well go coach a pro team.

Not sure his current demeanor would translate at that level. I’m sure he knows that though.
