The best of my knowledge Rooker is as great as they come and deserves every bit of success he gets. I'll be honest, you seem to know more than the average poster on this board and with that being said you have to know that there are bigger issues than an occasional joint. And yes, there are plenty of great, hardworking guys that adhere to the rules. Then there are those that don't and I guess they'll either get away with it or it'll catch up with them eventually. We'll see.

I agree. I was just joking about Rooker.

I'm not staying smoking pot is good but I do believe some of the penalties can be excessive. Hate to break it to some of you but there's a lot of productive MLB players these days that smoke weed.
Here's an article on the subject that portrays a more enlightened and modern day opinion on baseball and pot.

I could care less what guys do. But until it's legal in college and MLB then it's dumb to do it and chance a failed test. Once it becomes legal then do whatever the **** you want. Until then don't do it.

I started wondering the same as I got deeper into this thread. Sounds like the Intense Bastard went soft on us. I recall someone here talking about how he had sold his soul a bit last year to get us back on top. Seemed ridiculous, but you look at a guy like Marrero, and he's got clubhouse cancer written all over him. I wondered what else was going on. We got part of our answer when Marrero was suspended, and the rest of the story is coming out. Kinda makes me lose some respect for Cohen and appreciate Cann even more.

Ross Mitchell - The horrible senior year
I think the consensus opinion was that the new baseball ruined his previous advantages and ball movement. But, the kid himself looked ragged by his senior season. In appearance he went from a citizen of Mayberry to a Austin Texas fried brain.
Wonder if the Cohen party culture ruined Mitchell and consequently the entire 2015 season.

Not bad advice. I just hope our pot polices are consistent with other SEC programs. I Will also admit to being more concerned with us winning than how many players who smoke weed.

Ross Mitchell wasn't anything close to a party animal. While many were out partying, Ross was sharing the gospel.

Yep, JC's expectations were so low in 2016, he needed to make a Regional and it was not clear that we could.
Was he lucky on sexton, hump, Collins, rooker, pilk, and Hudson too?

How long are some of you on here going to keep trashing Cohen? I know that is the MSU thing to do...eat our own...but damn..he was a damn good coach and will be a good AD.

I think he may have went soft or at least lost his interest in coaching baseball is probably more accurate to say. But to his credit- he at least stepped down instead of turning our program into a dumpster fire and he hired a great coach to replace him and left him enough talent to make a SR. So, we're in pretty good shape right now. And a lot of that is because of Cohen. He also knew to hire Cannizaro and he orchestrated that at apparently Def-Con 5 level.
Maybe the selling his soul part was referring to hiring a pitching coach that he knew wouldn't stay here for long. The story about him going after Nate Lowe after we got swept in 2015 by Tennessee to have a losing season is legendary in some ways- and tells me that he still cared on some level at least.

I'm not saying who did and who didn't smoke pot in 2015 because I don't know- but lack of discipline applies to other areas besides drug use. I think the general lack of discipline probably affected the 2015 team a lot. In whatever ways that manifests itself.
I think Cohen also realized or was starting to realize that to get to Vandy, Florida, LSU levels of talent he was going to have to hire someone with a MLB scouting background. Because what he was doing wasn't quite cutting it to that elite level.
