“I associate Todd with the greatest period in Houston baseball history, so obviously it made sense that UH went after him. He did a great job building TCU to what it is today with the constraints that it had being a private school. By putting Todd at UH where he doesn’t have those con-straints, where he is working at a public school in an urban area with a lot of recruiting possibilities, I believe that Houston can succeed like a Texas or a Cal State Fullerton. Todd’s work in recruiting over the years speaks for itself. It’s an excellent hire for Houston, and it’s the best hire that they could have made.” -Kendall Rogers, Perfect Game
What they are saying ...
“Coach Whitting is a great players’ coach who relates well to all his players. He was the main reason that I came to Houston when he re-cruited me. He is one of the top recruiters in the country and is going to bring outstanding players to UH.”
-2006 National Player of the Year and current MLB pitcher Brad Lincoln
