they would sign in the fall of 2005. Its arguable he didn't have a large hand in the sophomore class.

And regardless of how highly recruited marks was, he's good and has been since McDonnell got there.

McDonnell's latest class looks to be a good one though.

And I still think he did. That doesn't mean that he was the wrong hire long-term. While I think we should've done better this year, I still remain optimistic that Cohen will turn things around. What is full of **** is you comparing Cohen's job to McDonnell. Two completely different situations, it's apples and oranges.

Marks is good. I've watched him pitch since Little League. And while he inherited some good players, he took LOUISVILLE to the CWS in his first season.

a 4 seed won the College World Series last year. The No. 1 overall didn't make it outside of their own regional in 2007.

He's a good coach and I wouldn't mind having him at all.

Will you dumb mother $+*!%$* wake up? Cohen had all the polk pussies. It was a terrible team with a couple guys that could hit. Wait till he is in the mix next year and all the same guys will be singing his praises. Our fan base takes the cake. If we gave croom 5 years............atleast give the man 2 years. jesus

Cohen did not have a great team but as a team we hit pretty well this season. The problem this season was pitching and you dont just get first year pitchers in the end of the recruiting season that can come in and start in the SEC. I like the style of baseball we play and in the long run given another year or two he will have us hosting regionals and hopefully super regionals. There is talent everywhere in the south. We will get some of the players in there that fit Cohen's system and we will be fine. If he doesn't workout fine but we will be getting back in the SEC tourney next year and start making noise in regionals. We have to rebuild the program's tradition but it doesn't take long in baseball with most good players only sticking around for 3 years.

The advantage of tradition is it never has to be rebuilt. Once you have it, it is there.

And when you have a good tradition in baseball, I think it makes it all the more easy to recruit because you can say "Hey, we've done it before, and we can certainly do it again."

Once those championships are won, they hang on the fence forever.

If he doesn't work out you will get back in the SEC tourney next year and make noise in the regionals?

He recruited 6 of their 8 position players. Stewart Ijames, who is one of their best hitters, is sitting out this year recovering from shoulder surgery. He is a McDonnell recruit. Marks is the only top pitcher that he didn't sign, but he will be the first to tell you that he owes a lot of his success to McDonnell. When he first signed, the plan was for him to redshirt, but McDonnell made him the #3 right out of the gate and he worked his way up. It will be interesting to see what big job comes open this year, but McDonnell has to be at the top of the short list.
