Yes, it’s January but it’s time to start thinking about college baseball. Illini baseball, to be more specific. Their first game is exactly one month away when they take part in the Stetson Invitational in Deland, Florida on the weekend of February 24-26.
Their first home game is March 31 (when the weather is substantially warmer here in Illinois). That is part of a four-game set against Purdue on March 31-April 2.
Here are the eight rooks signed by new coach Dan Hartleb.
