Buzzards roster made up of mainly Mississippi players

[5049]

We don't have to call them dirtbags though. It's not about how hard they play.

There is actually a profile of player that you have to target.

Pro scouts like guys that profile. Meaning, center fielders that are fast, corner outfielders hit for power, SS that can field & hit, 1B that hit bombs, etc

In college baseball recruiting you have to recruit "tweeners". Just like in football recruiting, the tweeners are the guys that are good players but don't quite fit a position.

If you can corner the market on good tweeners in college baseball, you can consistently get to the CWS.

I am with you. I like the sound of recruiting the top talent but I do not think the reality matches up well with that. I think, being in Mississippi, with no extra scholarship money, we should be targeting the 4 star type players, or the tweeners, as you say.

The only way to entice the top guys to come is going to be money. The Floridas, Vanderbilts and LSUs will always be able to do that more readily than us. Especially Vanderbilt.
