Cohen built us up and got out at exact the right time.
Cohen did his best coaching job for us in 2013 and 2016 when he just put the best players out there on the field and let them play. I hope we see more of that. At his peak, that is what Polk did. He lost the program when he quit recruiting.
He did scheme so hard for the type of baseball that gave you an advantage that when they changed the baseball, that season was just screwed. We went from having a pretty dominant pitching staff to a bunch of guys throwing BP. I understand taking advantage of anything you can but Canny is going to give us the best advantage no matter the rule changes.

Yep, talent conquers all.
And again, in Cohen's defense, we were not in position to recruit the best in 2008. We are now, largely because of him.

We also played in the first National Title game in the big 3 in MSU History because of how he recruited, developed, and schemed. He left a pretty good team for Canny and without the crazy injuries to the pitching staff, we might have been back in Omaha.

Well I just think pg has a sense of bias. Baseball America and collegiate baseball 10 years ago were the best. I guess that's biased on my part though.

I would say Collegiate Baseball because they do their rankings around September after the draft has taken place and they count JUCO's and transfers.
