Yay?

 

[patdog]

Looks like a solid hire.

 

[57stratdawg]

Phone call for Mr Stewart..

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

Elite hire. Yes, yay.

 

[Clarence Boddicker]

Looks like a solid hire.

It's a home run. It's a hire I did not think we would be able to make, if I'm honest.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Is it bad the first thing I thought was "We hired Razor Ramon?"

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

I'll believe it when BrickCityDawgs confirms...

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Is it bad the first thing I thought was "We hired Razor Ramon?"

He could walk out to the mound like this:

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

What's his bench press?

 

[HotMop]

Can he dunk?

 

[Xenomorph]

Hope he skips leg day.

Met that dude at a party in Memphis back in 2002. Dude has a huuuuge head

So was reading the dawgsbite article which said he had been at NC State the last 4 years. He was at Auburn before. In the same article it said, "One of his pitchers, Casey Mize, was the No. 1 pick in the MLB draft this summer." Mize was only a 21 yo junior this year. This guy had nothing to do with developing the #1 overall pick. Sounds like a good hire but why do we puff someone up to be more than they are.

 

[mcdawg22]

Because he recruited Mize.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Now all we need is an elite 3rd base coach and recruit a stud player who can be our first base coach.***

 

[PreacherDog]

That's not what it says. I'm sure he recruited him. But Mize was a senior in high school when he was in his first season at NC State. Mize never played under his tutelage. Therefore, he never developed him as a pitcher.

This is the text:

Foxhall joined the N.C. State staff after four years at Auburn. Not only did he develop the Tigers’ standout pitching staff while on the Plains, he also was credited with assembling four-straight outstanding recruiting classes, all of which were ranked in the Top 25 nationally. One of his pitchers, Casey Mize, was the No. 1 pick in the MLB draft this summer.

Sounds like you are making something out of nothing. Recruiting is done years in advance now. So, if he left Auburn after the 2014 season, it’s plausible that he helped put together the 2015 class.

 

[Shmuley]

I'm down with a guy who can spot elite talent early and then sign it eventually.

 

[PreacherDog]

I have no issue with the hire.
Why.not say "one of the pitchers he recruited" instead of "one of his pitchers." He never coached Mize. Mize went from undrafted to #1 pick because of Thompson and a coach during summer league after his freshman year. It is a bit a stretch to include that in the article as something special.
