I think Cohen has realized that the key to being a perennial power house in College Baseball is recruiting at an elite level annually, and I believe that, along with personality fit, were the first two boxes on his checklist during the coaching search. Yes, seems like a silly thing to say, because obviously recruiting is important in all sports, but I believe it is more important in baseball than football and basketball. In football and basketball, the coach is behind almost every play, he is the engineer, the puppeteer. However, in Baseball, the coach just sets a lineup, and for the most part, the boys play. Also, the seasons are longer, upsets don't matter as much, and the law of averages takes over. Better players=better team=better chance to win it all.
