Don't know about that. But I do know that many more baseball alums are more involved now than they have been in the past 20 years.Quote:

If ONLY we had just hired my 1st choice in 2018 (Chris Klieman) instead of Cohen trying to be the smartest guy in the room with the Moorhead hiring we would be in great shape all over.
Grisham got sideways with the university when Polk would not give his son a spot on the roster in the early 00s, and no Ben Grisham was not his son. I know Ben and he was John’s nephew but John’s son was not on the team. He got sideways with Ole Miss on the same subject. UVA needed funding at the time and Grisham was willing to cut a hell of a check. However, Grisham and O’Conner got sideways on a completely different issue about 10-12 years ago and so Grisham does not really help them in terms of funding anymore.Quote:

We are terrible in regards to legacies and helping big time alums. Should have had Grisham?s kid on the team, Palmeiro?s kid, etc.
Wayne Madkin has a daughter playing volleyball at Arkansas. I hope we did all we could to get her. We just have to be more strategical in our thinking.
You are correct. It was Mac.Quote:

UVA guy backtracking. He asked to speak with BOC, and received this response -Quote:

They can gather all they want. Money is not the issue and never was. They let us pitch him on funding, facilities, etc and it was over. They had their chance and were too laissez faire with it because they just figured he would stay.Quote:
