Yep. Lose 2-3 pieces it?s ok depending of course. Lose 6-7 guys? Really hurts the roster

I?m hoping most go the Ben Davis route. Why go in the 15th round and take a meager bonus when you could play SEC ball in palace with a good NIL package? That was huge for us and more need to do that

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.

oh I know the HS guys- I was simply talking college guys. We really could lose a bunch of those guys if things went wrong

As much as NIL hurts us in football- we have stepped up to make it the opposite in baseball and that could save us

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.

The draft could rape us. Will it? I dont think so because of the money infusion we have gotten Lemon didnt have. We may be finally on the level of the SEC Big Boys that gets kids to campus in spite of the draft.

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.

[Coach34]

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.

If the ones in the #1 portal class go pro and sign- they arent in our class

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 Deadline

Are we getting the very best VA players except for the SS? The team didn't even make a regional last year. what happened?

Our new head coach severely underachieved in 2025. We’ll see how he responds in 2026. He’s a good coach and he should respond

This lie should be moderated and the poster sanctioned. It's literally been explained dozens of times how O'Connor did well in 2025 and only got screwed over by his athletic department, a dumbass murderer, bad luck, and a lazy and stupid selection committee.

[Activated Alpha]

Someone needs to shove crow up C34?s ass because he sure ain?t gonna open his mouth to eat it. He will open his mouth to spew some lies and hate, but not to eat his crow

[basedog]

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.

[AlSwearengen]

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.

You used this exact line to talk about how Lemonis was a great recruiter...

[maroonmania]

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.

[Cowbell]

Lolz, good one. Instead of a banner, he'd instead opt for billboards across the state (I'm joking, but not really).

I swear this has probably been mentioned by him

Lol, this plus the good hire "on paper" is just pathetic troll shit.

JFC, dude. Get a new hobby. I recommend one that involves family, your kids, golf, etc...

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.
