Gonna lose 4 hs guys I feel certain. Others I feel good about. Just aren't many. Sullivan would be a kick to the nuts. Frei could go either way. Siary is idk. .... we shall see.Quote:

Regardless what happens in the draft, very impressive in what BOC and staff have put together in recruiting. Future looks really promising with this staff.
I'm gonna disagree. Take out his guys from Va and his recruits to Va- and then add in alot of his portal class could be drafted and sign- we are firmly in a wait and see pattern.Quote:

The draft and its effects will let us know where we are
O'Connor brings over a lot of players from Virginia: "This is a huge concern! He's just getting the guys who already know him!"
O'Connor doesn't bring over a lot of players from Virginia: "This is a huge concern! He's not getting the guys who already know him!"
Meanwhile we have the #1 rated portal class, which got even better today with a pitcher from Rice.
and to explain it further- if BOC brought in a bunch of guys that end up being drafted and then sign- thats really bad recruiting.
So thats why I said we are in a wait and see situation
The only concern is the ones who are draft eligible.Quote:

My point was "regardless of draft" and future looks good with this staff. BOC and staff lots of support with money, fans and our tradition in baseball.
We made a good hire on paper and we shall see how things shake out this summer. I'm just hoping we hang on to Ace until the DeadlineQuote:

BOC has proven he can recruit and win. I’m not concerned about our future. He has been on campus around a month, he has signed kids that were committed to him and now are following him. Says a lot about him. It would have been bad IF none signed with us.
Most successful hired coach ever for any sport in my lifetime. I don’t understand being so critical after a month on job and season hasn’t started.
Virginia went to Omaha in ‘09, ‘11, ‘14, ‘15, ‘21, ‘23, and ‘24, winning it all in ‘15. I’m not going to sweat whatever happened to Virginia last season.
Hopefully, we can get back on topic.
and to explain it further- if BOC brought in a bunch of guys that end up being drafted and then sign- thats really bad recruiting.
You used this exact line to talk about how Lemonis was a great recruiter...
I will still feel better when we sign a true SS. Even if we play Woodson and Sanders up the middle as starters we've got little to nothing behind either one of them should we have an injury or some other issue with one or the other.
I swear this has probably been mentioned by himQuote:

And it's about more than just recruiting. I expect our team to be much better coached under BOC in the fundamentals of defense and baserunning. If not I will be very disappointed.Quote:
