Most of you thought that Jabari Henry would hit the first home run of the 2011 season for the Panthers. Well, Rudy Flores hit the home run tonight against Mississippi Valley State.
FIU National Signing Day Unveiling February 3, 2011

The NSD Unveiling Party was tonight at the FIU Stadium Club. It seems like every year these events get more packed. There were many fans at the party who are excited about FIU’s best recruiting class to date!
CiCi’s Pizza provided the grub with yummy cheese pizza while Pepsi provided the soft drinks. There was a lot of mingling between friends and oogling over the Sun Belt Championship and Little Caeser’s Bowl Championship trophies.
It was great spending time chatting with good Panther friends like Roman & Marlene Garcia, Jose, Pete Pelegrin, Berta, and Lori-Ann.
Roary greeted everyone as they walked inside.
While waiting for Coach Mario Cristobal to speak, Roary gave a speech… or at least he pretended to.
Fans and members of FIU Athletics listen to Coach Cristobal as he speaks.
Coach Cristobal, as always, is very excited about the future of FIU. It is obvious how passionate he is about this team. Coach said, “I want this city to be a sea of blue and gold!” I love the sound of that!
A video was played that introduced our new Panthers and was filled with highlights of each player. It started with this awesome screenshot.
I am very excited about this new signing class. I can’t wait to see them on the field and show the world what they got! Go Panthers!
