The announcement was made Thursday that Monte Lee was the new face of the Clemson baseball program leaving his alma mater after seven years and four NCAA Tournaments, answering a question that has been hanging over the program since the dismissal of Jack Leggett.
Lee’s hire now brings other questions to the table, and TigerNet reached out to a competitor of Lee’s in the Colonial Athletic Association – Elon’s Mike Kennedy – to get Kennedy’s opinion on the newest Tiger. Kennedy has been at Elon for 19 seasons and is one of the most respected coaches in this part of the country, and Kennedy said he was excited to see Lee get an opportunity with the Tigers.
