I find it funny too that our fans rip on a FR pitcher we bring in who has numbers not much worse than Dollander last year when they brought him in.

Yep. If you can't multitask with the other elite recruiters then find something else to do.
Especially at 1.2 mil a year.

Hmm, Just read about him, sounds like the modern mental kids companies have in HR nowadays. Hard Pass.

I’d rather my coach put all his focus on winning a national championship, when given the opportunity.

All the time I hear about Lenonis and Gautreau recruiting but never about Foxhall.

How much money did you lose betting Tennessee would win at all?

I love hearing our fans talk trash to the coach who finally won us a national title within 12 months of him doing that

This and from what I understand Cheese is pretty popular with recruits.

There is absolutely no way a coach named cheese is not popular with recruits?

Yeah. We've had some extremely talented teams in the past, but have never had a coach who could win a Natty. It was fun watching that team get better as the season progressed. Lemonis has coached 3 full seasons. 2 CWS appearances with a National Championship. Not bad. He has to rebound from this year pretty quick though.

That's what I hoped (figured) was happening. But it's weird that I only hear about people seeing Lemonis and Gautreau.

Lemonis is still new to MSU to a degree and I think he has to figure out our "forumula" for winning. Which is pitching, defense, and power blended with speed from aggressive hard working players who get on base. That's our identity. Last year we were a pull heavy 3 run home run team with a depleted by injury pitching staff.
People used to criticize Cohen as a coach but he knew what worked here. He brought back the toughness first and then once we started to have success we started to get the blue chips guys and ultimately had the best run in school history.

Only at State could a team win a National Championship and require a complete program rebuild a year later. SMH. Our athletics program is a joke.

Our baseball program needs to learn how to be champions. By that I mean learn how to win where we are built for long term annual success and not one special year. Hopefully we've done that.
At least we aren't USM talking about how special it was to host a Super Regional.

Not as much as I spent on those Royal Reds Saturday night

Well we did make the CWS three times in a row so it was certainly not unexpected to take a step back. Just tough thing to keep at that level every year. But we all recognize that it was unacceptable to drop back to an overall losing record. Injuries were a significant factor but the biggest thing is that our pitching staff, even with the guys that stayed healthy, just underperformed and were obviously underdeveloped. Cade Smith may be the only guy on the staff that you can say was better than the year before.

We didn’t just step back. We tripped and fell of a cliff.

Trying to get Skeene to visit. A lot of the other like Groff we're fine but he's evaluating how things look in the draft.
I think we will see a flurry of commits around draft time in about a month.
