He also has to recruit to Starkville, which is in the middle of nowhere and these recruiting trips are taking place in the dead of summer with no one in town. A lot easier to recruit to towns that have more than 3 bars and 9 mexican restaurants as the nightlife.Quote:

All one year guys who improved their stock under Lemonis. Hell two of them were even on crappy teams. I understand the frustration from people that we haven't been able to land the big fish, but if it was just Lemonis then none of those guys would've come here. Also that dud won a national championship basically on the back of one of the greatest pitching performances Omaha has ever seen....and he recruited that pitcher.
As I stated, he can land solid players. He can't land the big fish. He did win a national championship and then proceeded to go on a 1,000 day (and counting) run of no postseason ball at the dude, which was built to host regionals and super regionals. We claim to be a national power but we don't operate like oneQuote:

Again, let's just let this portal and draft play out and see where we end up. It's understandable to not be happy with missing on the Stetson CF and tOSU pitcher. But we are still on the ECU pitcher, the UVA pitcher, and I believe we have been in contact with the UTSA pitcher I mentioned the other day Riojas. We also are on Kash from TTU but he's a draft risk. With the A&M guys, I wouldn't hold my breathe. That's an uphill battle and we would need to throw probably a god offer at any of them to get them here. Which, if we have the funds.....do it.Quote:

Because the A&M guys know where they're going. They're either headed to TX or A&M will make them a huge offer. Again, if we decide to say screw it and dump all our NIL pot into Laviolette or Grahovac I wouldn't have an issue. But we'd be done from there.Quote:

There's smoke. We're trailing LSU but we're in the mix for him.Quote:

The UVA pitcher is the sidearm guy ? Hungate?Quote:
