Gotta have a couple more of the young pitchers settle in and the sky is the limit. One more class with the same mental and physical makeup as this freshman class and I think they'll be the ones that finally get it done for us. First "day 1" class we've had under Cohen for the most part.

I agree. First class Cohen has signed that didn't take 3 years to produce (and yes, there have been a few exceptions, but that's been the overwhelming rule). I still think this team is going to be better in May - June than it is today.

To be honest

a few of us have been saying this was coming. This is really the first full class since Cohen change his philosophy, based on the change in the ball.

Yall should see our next few classes.

...but continue on w the "cohenZ sux!!!11"

This freshmen class is very, very special. I've never seen one this talented before in Maroona and White.

Gahdamn man, I'm not continuing with ****. I'm one of those objective people in life that can take a step back and realize that they are wrong. So my crow taste ****** because I didn't open my vent on my BGE, and I can admit that. At this point, if we fall off a cliff, I still won't ***** about Cohen because clearly you guys have been right, and I've never loved being as wrong about my skepticism as I am now.

I really like our freshmen, but I do wonder who will replace our extra base hitters next season if Lowe leaves. Do marrero and Alexander expect to develop power?

A few of you have been saying the same thin for the last decade. I'm happy to say you were right this time.

 

[KurtRambis4]

The past decade?

Not really. The fact of the matter is, it's been noted about the change in philosophy with the new ball, and it's all turned out to be like stated.

That is one aspect that will probably take a step back overall if all the draft-eligible guys hit the road. But I'm not at all sure we see that happen. We've been gutted by MLB in recruiting the high school power aspect of our team. That's a big reason we've had to keep going JUCO to find projected power IMO. Riley and Pickett last year, Vallot and Burdick in 2014.

The only recruiting class that was championed anything at all like the 2015 class was 2013. But while being highly regarded by MLB, many of those guys weren't mentally tough coming in, although their talent level is also pretty tough to deny at this point.

It's obvious 2015 is a total package. And we lost 2 power hitters from the class and a power pitcher. Wish the 2014 class hadn't been a total bust, but it is what it is with the lack of balance in our classes.

I was 12

and had never heard of MSU at that point in time.

Well that's your loss, because in '94 Sessums was blowin up. And the freshman class in McKee had a lot of talent.
