What They're Saying About Adrian Holloway
Tarrik Brock, Pittsburgh Pirates First Base Coach
"Xavier couldn't get a better guy than Adrian Holloway. I could not be happier for him.
I've known him for the last three years and have developed an unbelievable relationship with him.
We talk about baseball, family, life. The Xavier program will flourish and grow, and Adrian knows he has my support.
His biggest strengths are his care, his wanting to teach, and his ability to build relationships.
He will build strong men and lead them, but he will also be flexible."
