Baseball Coaching Search

I figured I would take a little time and look at the recruiting rankings of some of the coaches who have been mentioned here. I tried to limit the list to coaches who have been at the same place for more than 4 years because you can't really judge guys like Mingione and Thompson quite yet.

All of these guys have been successful on the field, so that goes without saying.

What does this tell us? I'm not sure. If you just look at the rankings, Schlossnagle is the only that I would consider a consistent, elite recruiter. The rest are a bit up and down. I'm sure the daft has something to do with it.

I’m leaning Henderson.

RON POLK III BABY!!!!!!!

How has Heefner recruited?

How does this compare to 2016-2019 MSU recruiting rankings? I know it would be 2 different staffs, but still would be relevant to see what the numbers say in comparison.

Man, that really puts Cannizaro’s #2-#5 classes into perspective.

Looks good... mlb was gonna pillage those classes though. Kids committing as leverage imo

Be interesting to see how many each class lost to the draft. I wonder if a class that is 11-20th pre-draft could end up being better than the 1-5th classes after the draft. Probably worded that weird, but you get the point

Yeah.......those guys are killing it........in the minors.

Some MSU baseball fans probably feel the same as Florida football fans...

The Florida fans assume that Mullen will be able to recruit better at Florida than he did at MSU because Florida football is a 'bigger program' than MSU.

Similarly, those baseball coaches on that list (and others) should be able to recruit better at MSU than their current schools.

Of course, baseball does have the 11.7 scholarship thing with some schools able to overcome it, and the state of Mississippi doesn't have as many quality HS baseball players as the state of Florida has quality HS football players.

The obvious choice is RAFFO, remember he was around for POLK II

 

[HumpDawgy]

My vote is Jimmy Dugan. He hates women.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

There seems to be a lot of crying in our baseball though.

Mostly by the fans though.
