The Texas A&M Aggies have made a massive addition to their coaching staff, according to D1 Baseball’s Kendall Rogers. The Aggies are hiring an LSU assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Nolan Cain. He has spent the past five seasons with the Tigers and recently had the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation that included Tre’ Morgan and Dylan Crews. In addition, they ranked three of his past four recruiting classes in the top five. Cain was a former LSU pitcher and promoted to assistant coach/recruiting coordinator in November 2016. Cain also serves as the third-base and outfielders coach.
