    I guess I can assume with the AD being quiet he doesn't care about baseball?

    While you're 100% correct, every state fan including myself needs to better understand one major thing. we will be below average in football regardless most years and you can throw basketball in there as well. Baseball will have a chance to be a tick above average to good most years but NIL is...

    6 Conference wins, 8 run-rule losses

    Yep, it's really frustrating and I know the analytics are correct. Difference is spin rate/fbs that hold plain and all of that good stuff doesn't matter a lick if you can't throw it across the plate. what a lot of people don't realize is the arms we are signing analytically speaking will be...

    6 Conference wins, 8 run-rule losses

    Tell that to the MLB. Instead of making guys learn to go oppo they talk about removing the shift rule. the games changed from small ball team baseball to who can hit the most hrs and k the most batters. That's what the kids watch today. The I, I, I, me, me, me. That's what makes recruiting in...

    MSU and Marketing

    Also, if you think about it most of the most popular schools in each state tend to be the medical/law schools vs the ag/engineering etc. Alabama UGA Texas vs a and m Ohio state Usc University of Michigan vs Michigan state Only one I can think of that's a little flip flopped is Clemson and...

    MSU and Marketing

    It's funny just a few years ago we had fans complaining that our AD was just a glorified marketing guy and wasn't good at hiring coaches(Stricklin). Then the complaint with Cohen was he was terrible at marketing. yes, OM journalism ties help a lot. That being said it all goes back to money and...

    Member our paltry recruiting budget? Well it just got worse.

    The nil stuff is going to be a bigger thorn in our side than Larry Templeton was. We don't have the money or fan base size to compete with the big dogs. And that NIL is going to start sliding at the big money schools to other sports like baseball where we won't be able to keep up. In my mind we...

    I'll say it. I don't see the big deal about Cijntje.......

    What I'm saying is everyone you named outside of foscue still had ceiling, small was a tall relatively physical lefty. don't know smalls story if he was 83-86 in highschool then yea he went undrafted but he had the frame and ceiling to improve. If he was 88-92 in highschool he probably wasnt...

    I'll say it. I don't see the big deal about Cijntje.......

    His height and weight have more to do with him being in college now than stuff does I assure you. if the kid was 6'4 215 pounds he'd sniff the first round. comparing his stuff out of highschool to leiter isn't even in the same ball park same with Landon. Big difference in the size of those...

    I’ll ask this again

    So players that are actively getting recruited that happen to play with these organizations know less about the recruiting process that they are currently going through than random people on a message board? Or are you referring to the guys running the organizations? Most organizations have...

    I’ll ask this again

    You're going to see alot more high end highschool talent going to college over the next several years as well. That's coming straight from a guy that's been a scout for over 25 years. I'm sure you didn't think Ole Miss would ever catch us in baseball either and while we've done better head to...

    I’ll ask this again

    Not going to get into the specifics, but that's coming from a couple of people with ties to several of the bigger summer ball programs(east coast, EBC, and a couple of others) along with talking with the Whitesox scout, Mariners scout, and a dodgers scout about it. think what you want, but I...

    I’ll ask this again

    If we want to be elite it isn't an ad problem or a coaching issue per se. The real issue is $$$ you can't be last in booster money, nil, etc. We've barely got enough NIL to half way cover football like we should, much less baseball. a lot of these big money schools that haven't been great...

    I’ll ask this again

    Don't sleep on Burroughs the guy is a good coach and recruiter and knows the area very well. he's built a pretty consistent program. Know he's not a "big name" hire but he's a good baseball coach and a solid recruiter. I wouldn't be upset with him at all. Another guy I'd take a look at that's a...

    Bo Bounds kept saying a few days ago that fanbase/crowd sizes doesn't affect wins and losses.....

    Now days at least in football and basketball i wouldn't say crowd size is overly important but fan base size and more importantly your donor network are extremely important, more so in my opinion than whoever the current coach or players are. We simply don't fundraise enough money to be...

    Highfill’s Three-Homer Game Highlights Huge Week

    It can, but it can also go the other way just as easily and the team figures it out and improves through sec play. if this group has weathered the ups and downs (mostly downs) up to this point and still has good team chemistry that's a good sign that there isn't a lot of selfishness going on...
