Nope. They were 32-18 and just lost some games to bad teams early that tanked their RPI.

They are already developed and ready for play, unlike the project type players Lemo used and never could decide on. This is a breath of fresh air

How many times do I have to explain this??
Virginia wasn't bad this year. Virginia went 16-11 in the ACC, better than 3 ACC teams who won Regionals. They only played 27 conference games because an entire series at Florida State was canceled after a shooting, which really hurt their RPI. Their RPI was also hurt by their athletic director going super cheap on the non-conference scheduling.
Even despite all that, the selection committee really brain-farted by not selecting them anyway. One of the worst in/out decisions the committee has made in this century.

All the UVA guys will be great dawgs.

Yes. They were #2 in the country in the preseason as everybody recognized they were very talented. They had 6 losses vs Quad 3 and Q4. We only had 2 and fired our HC. Swept at home by Duke. Went 1-3 vs Boston College
He was the underachiever of the year for 2025
But here he has a much bigger bank account and fully funded schollys. It's going to be hard to mess this up

Yes, this portal ranking stuff is a 1/2 bullshit.
-UVA teaches me that I know nothing. They were #3 in hitting and #1 in the ACC Only Hitting. #3 in Pitching and #6 in ACC only pitching. They finished 6th in the conference and 4 teams below them in the standings made the regionals. Nutty stats.
- they were losing because the 1st and 2nd best pitchers, the dudes that beat MSU in 2024 turned to shit 2025. The assumed ace sucked in 2025. Evan Blanco sucked and Woolfork stayed unreliable as before, he saved his best ever performance for MSU in 2024.

And this is exactly why he did not bring his pitching coach with him. Everyone needs to rest on concerns related to UVA this past season. They were more than deserving of a regional bid and absolutely got the screws by the selection committee. Did they under achieve? Yes. It?s baseball, just ask Polk. Crap happens, sometimes things you can control and sometimes not.

Yeah, he was cutting ties with the pitching coach regardless of where he was going to be coaching. This guy had been with him for quite awhile and it wasn?t a case of the AD forcing him to fire him and hire a new coach. Oak wasn?t in danger of being fired, he just saw a weakness and moved to correct it immediately. Encouraging to me.

UVA: 32-18, 16-11.
A&M: 30-26, 11-19.
I get you've got a narrative to uphold because you were wrong but it's getting sad.

Yeah, there is absolutely no argument to be had who between TAM and UVA underachieved most. It?s TAM by a long shot. Again, UVA deserved postseason play and got screwed. TAM did not and sat at home like they deserved.

Va had more losses to Q3 and Q4.
A&M's RPI was 50 to Va's 66. Nobody deserves an at-large bid with a 66 RPI
A&M's SOS was 12. Va's was 87

That's cool. A&M was the preseason #1 and underachieved more. O'Connor is a good coach. Who came from a P4 school. Something many said we wouldn't do.

I debunked all of this weeks ago. Why are you dredging all of this back up to ѕhit on our coach when we all know why Virginia's RPI was the result of bad luck and a lack of AD support?
Just so that everyone is clear - Coach34 knows he's being dishonest and misleading here, and it would be one thing to do this about a rival, but he's doing it about OUR COACH.

I can't read the small print of the Top 100 graphics, so I will just ask. Is Milewski ranked in the Top 100 transfers?

I think that when he sick a few years ago and a troll hacked his account. Otherwise he just woke up an lsu fan and he is just a troll at this point.
