Recruiting rankings for Indiana the past 3 seasons

[Cowbell]

39, 39, 61

Pretty low numbers for a "great recruiter" - Anybody care to justify (besides being at Indiana)

[msstate7]

I think that's actually pretty good. Well assuming the rankings aren't propped up by some guys that went mlb draft

[Jack Lambert]

He will recruit good at State. He's got everything and I mean everything in the world to make him successful. I don't know if he had the facilitates, revenue, support of the AD and Fans that he will at state. I could be wrong about Indiana baseball. I just don't see it.

2nd best in Big 10, Oregon State and Arkansas did not rank. These are the Juniors in this year's team. Lemonis maybe inherited his 2015 commits, don't know

[Really Clark?]

What was those numbers compared to other B10 schools?

[dawgs]

Wow, at Oregon state not being ranked in the recruiting rankings.

You'd think their croots would be getting the bama bump in crootin' rankings at this point.

4th best class in the B10 and out-recruited Oregon State again.

[Turfdawg67]

Hmmm... X's & O's do matter.

[The Federalist Engineer]

What was those numbers compared to other B10 schools?

He is averaging 3rd or 4th place in the Big 10.

[msstate7]

He is averaging 3rd or 4th place in the Big 10.

Over his tenure? That's kinda sobering if so for the best recruiter in the country

[MSU338]

Your asking a man that coaches for a team that has snow on the field and 20 degree temps for half the baseball season to have a top 10 class. Look at their program and look at their facilities! It’s little league ball compared to MSU! He did great for the circumstances at Indiana and he and GoTro are about to blow the doors off recruiting here. We need some energy in the dugout and we got it.

[ScottH]

Thanks for posting.

I'm too lazy to look it up but I would be curious how Smith recruits the 3 or 4 years before Lemonis took over.

[Dawg61]

2015 Oregon St. is ranked 12th

[HoopsDawg]

Recruiting has never really been an issue for our baseball team.

[Todd4State]

Recruiting has never really been an issue for our baseball team.

It was an issue during Polk II. A BIG issue. Arguably the main issue.

[Todd4State]

And as far as Oregon State- Hiemlich's past helped them out a lot this year. Normally no one gets pitchers back for their senior year like that. Take him away and it hurts their team quite a bit. That would be like us getting Hudson or Stratton back for their senior years almost.

[msstate7]

If we were going big10 guy, not sure wasikowski (Purdue) wasn't the better choice. Purdue had 4 straight losing seasons and finished no better than 10th (13th last 2 years before wasikowski) in the big 10 before him. In his first year, he went 29-27 (12-12 8th place). This season, he 38-21 (17-6 2nd place), and he got a regional. He also outrecruited lemonis this year.
