    Welp, looks like we basically struck out with baseball pitching recruiting

    We are getting two injured JUCOS, a JUCO from Illinois, and a HS croot with a competing offer from Troy for 2017.

    Cann needs to recruit as though all of Cohen's commits are fake, already injured, or mentally weak. Note: last year Cohen's 2016 class had two players not show up in fall, one quit after a few practices, one got dismissed while in Fall ball, one became the new Paul Young, one quit right-after fall, and another just disappeared after fall

    Won't have to worry about Tommy John's then. I already feel better.

    We have an entire recruiting class worth of pitchers comimg off Tommy John surgery, and lost basically no one off last year's staff.

    We'll be fine.

    I mentioned this about the pitching in this particular class before. It probably kept us from being a top 10 class.

    Cann kind of had his hands tied with this year's class because of when he was hired. Going forward we will be fine- we have several very talented pitchers coming in for our upcoming class.

    Don't forget about the transfer from Tulane also.

    We are going to lose one off of last year's staff. News hasn't come out yet.

    Baseball recruiting is not comparable to football recruiting. By the time Cann was hired basically every top pitching prospect for this class was already committed elsewhere. Baseball recruiting is done 2-3 years in advance- thus results cannot realistically be judged until a couple of years down the road.

    I am not concerned about Cann's ability to recruit whatsoever.
