Those are the same coaches that believe we should be offering kids that are FCS level. We’re going after high quality FBS locally. We’re not getting p5 kids except in exceptional circumstances. We can only visit serious prospects.

Unless it's the same person doing both, I'm not sure why you are being a complaintant?

That was Hud and before, Billy made great in roads with local kids and coaches. Hud was starting to crack that nut slowly. The problem is the local coaches have the same stigma the casual fan does about the school that needs to be broken.

Say what you want about recruiting ranking, but it is the measuring stick. It's about mitigation of misses.

Billy understood this better than most. Hud used the wrong means.

I would hope CMDs local-centric staff will pay dividends.

Based on the current rankings, LA Tech and Tulane are knocking it out of the park.

I think Tyler Grubbs, the kid from Tech is in the portal. I'd take him.

Tech also has a 1st year head coach. Only won 3 games this year, and is killing us in recruiting!

I didn’t realize this was a baseball thread. But I don’t recall anyone complaining in 2014 when we had Connor Toups, Adam Angelle, Blake Trahan, Ryan Leonards, Tyler Girouard, Michael Strentz, Austin Robichaux, Jace Conrad, Cody Boutte, Kyle Clement, Chris Charpentier, Evan Powell, Nick Zaunbrecher, and Trace Guidry. That’s a lot off home grown talent and you say people were complaining because we recruited to many local kids in baseball? Who are they? Do they hate 58-10 with local boys? No one has ever complained because a kid is local when they are playing to the level that is expected here.
