Back in the 2022 CWS?
- Thread starter Ranchdawg
- Start date
Arkansas this year proved that you can have great talent and not make it. We've had unprecedented success in getting to Omaha but it's not easy to get there so we shouldn't take it for granted.
So we've made three consecutive trips to Omaha before? I must have missed when we previously set that precedent.
Or more likely, I'm using the word unprecedented perfectly in this situation.
This is the unknown factor that can derail a team in any college sport and all you can do is hope you have enough quality depth to plug the holes.
I’d really like to get to the CWS every year but realistically, if we could go 3 or 4 times per every 10 years that would be pretty impressive.
Without knowing which draft eligible players come back and without knowing anything about newcomers…
Logan Tanner, Kellum Clark, Lane Forsythe, Landon Sims, Cade Smith, Stone Simmons, Jackson Fristoe, KC Hunt.
Those are our young players with Omaha experience. That plus the best coaching staff in the country is not a bad place to start.

They are draft eligible. I’m not saying they aren’t coming back, but my point is even before seeing who comes back we have a core of guys returning with experience.
Can’t wait for the fire lemon head posts if we don’t make it to the cws next year.
Ahead of time, if you post that, you are stupid. Don’t be stupid.

And they proved in 2018 with great talent that if you don't make routine plays you can lose National Championships in a heartbeat
That's true. Question will be where will the leadership come from. After losing Jake Mangum, Rowdy and Tanner stepped up. Who will be "the guy(s)" next year? I can see Logan Tanner being one, but he kinda clowns a bit. I think Luke Hancock has some leadership qualities, just looking from the outside.
We might have people step up and have the best talent and we might not make it.
Anything can happen in a regional or super regional.
The goal is to keep being in the top 16 and top 8 and make it to the cws 3 to 5 times per 10 years.

That's definitely going to be an issue. I hope we don't have an entitlement issue as well, because these players are being treated like kings at the moment. I'm sure there will be some rough patches at times, and that will be when Lemonis earns his soon-to-be upgraded paycheck.
