If you listen closely to our baseball coaches (past and present) talk about recruiting, they give you hints that Starkville and MS isn't for everybody. These kids aren't living in Dudy Noble. If they were, we would be able to cherry pick, but that isn't reality. This is why I won't get my hopes to high for these pitchers from California.
There's some truth in this. We can't sign "anyone we want", but we should be able to get our fair share of the top talent.
