Sources: @NCStateBaseball is expected to hire Florida's Taylor Black as its new recruiting coordinator, I'm told. Black has spent the past four seasons on the #Gators staff and will be the final coaching staff addition for new #Pack9 skipper Chris Hart.

Great hire. Good look taking a coach from a top tier SEC program.
lil blurb from his UF bio...
" In the 2024 offseason, Black again spearheaded an elite transfer portal effort to supplement an exciting group of freshmen arriving in Gainesville. Alongside O'Sullivan, Black helped bring in top-100 transfers Blake Cyr (Miami - No. 10), Bobby Boser (USF - No. 48) and Billy Barlow (Clemson - No. 96) to campus in addition to Freshman All-American Kyle Jones (Stetson). In just two recruiting cycles at UF, Black leveraged his heavy scouting background to reinvigorate Florida's recruiting and talent evaluation."
Taylor spent several years with the Tigers as a scout with him rising up to East Coast Crosschecker before heading to UF. Along with Hart we got us another good talent evaluator.
