New UA baseball coach Johnson scrambling to build team
Nevada took two weeks to name a replacement for UA baseball coach Jay Johnson. It hired UCLA assistant T.J. Bruce. Johnson has already received commitments from two pitchers in the class of 2016, one from Colorado and the other from Southern California. Johnson is scrambling to add pieces to his first UA team — he signed a junior college catcher from Santa Rosa, California — but it might be too late for Johnson to do much more than avoid finishing last in the Pac-12 next May.
