Baseball Recruiting

[bsquared24]

Well a week later, the dust has settled just a little bit. Anyone have any idea how our recruiting is looking without AC? I know there are people with better insight on this board than I have and perhaps some news is starting to come out on this front.

Seems like we are going to be in limbo for a while on baseball recruiting. I'm sure the current staff will do what they can but given we won't know who the permanent coach is going to be for ~4 months and not knowing who that person will or will not retain, sort of makes it tough sledding on the recruiting trail I would think.

AC was doing a great job, but I think MSU recruits itself in baseball. How long had AC been on the job anyway? 18 months or so?

Most of crootin is done during summer travel ball season... we will have a new coach by then...

I hate we have to wait for a coach. I would love to have it over with. Of course, it may not be a good time to find a coach and we might do better to stick with the guy we have for a while.

There aren't many

coaches that are just gonna quit in week 2, leaving a place high and dry.

Most importantly, Cohen isn't going to ask anyone to do that.

I don't want to sound like my standards are too high or something, but do we really want the type of person who would abandon his team 2 weeks into the Season? I don't think I would want someone like that coaching our team.

Anybody have a list or know where I can find list of our current baseball commitments and recruits for 2018?

I don't think it will affect our current group very much. The guys that are likely going to go pro would have gone pro with or without Cann being here. There may be a few de-commits from the classes down the line, but I anticipate that the new coach may bring in some more recruits to replace them.

I realize that. That's not what I am talking about. I think I have posted here enough for you to know I am not that dumb.

I just wish it had not happened opening weekend. We are lucky to have the coach we do to step in. It could have been very bad.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Right, I was

just adding that it is what it is.

We are just going to have to wait.

Think all of these have signed for '18 and Todd or someone else will need to let you know 'who' are MLB draft risks ..

Thank you Biscuit

I agree, to

an extent, that MSU recruits itself (now).

What I hated about Andy 17ing up, is that he had TONS of connections in the SE with MLB scouts.

When you combine his connections and intensity with the MSU factors (new stadium, fanbase, etc.), it was the perfect scenario.

I don't know if we can replace his connections.

just adding that it is what it is.

We are just going to have to wait.

Ok. This whole thing has made me grumpy as hell.
