Status Quo or Changes

[Rougarou]

Do you have a vendetta against JT?

What kind of backwards question is that? He has been defending JT's recruiting.

[Dad04]

Ok and if they don't suck with a new hitting coach will you admit you are blind? Doesn't everyone come from high school hitting 84mph cookies?

Everyone comes from high school. A few have talent to play above that level. Achieving is about adjusting at the next level. Talent and coaching combine to rise up to the next level. We have neither the talent, or coaching in place required to achieve offensively at this level.

I have nothing personal against any player or coach here. I want them all to reach their goals.

[Rougarou]

JT is not necessarily the best at talent evaluation, but he is great at closing kids and does have great connections. If you doubt that, go ask Robe.

WHat have they (some not all) done at the Div 1 level ? We have cut or sent to Juco several since he’s been here after their freshmen year. Nothing personal against the guy.

And some go juco and go on to tcu and southern miss, some don’t. Every coach before him sent guys to juco when they were freshman. Every coach after him will send guys to juco after they are freshman. Again, how many guys from the best programs send guys to juco? You think we are the only ones that do this? Injuries, need, current depth, the draft all effect the numbers. We ran with one catcher forever..now we are gonna have 3-4...those spots gotta come from somewhere. The guy in charge apparently thinks he is valuable enough to keep around. It’s his job to make those decisions and the results will be on him...but i forget every t ball dad is a D1 baseball coach.

Which players has he stolen from P5 schools. I hang up an listen. anybody can recruit scrubs that have no chance of being good college players.

Yes and the only way to evaluate any kid before college is watching him hit 84mph cookies. So no matter how good or bad they are..every coach is evaluating them off of 84 mph cookies.

Not sure if this will work. That’s my guess. Most hitting coaches are also recruiting coordinators. It will either work or turn in to a major @&$T storm. I think it’s a huge gamble going down that road.

WRONG and WRONG. Nobody goes to high school games to seriously recruit. they go to https://www.perfectgame.org/, get lists, follow kids that express interest in the school and watch them against the best high school pitching talent (90's) in the country. This is very, very basic stuff you aren't aware of.

Just off of the top of my head Nick Lee, Hogan Harris, Dylan Poncho, Handsome Monica, and Todd Lott I am pretty confident had garnered P5 interest and MLB interest. Edit, Kennon Fontenot is another. I think he was a JT recruit. Could be wrong on that one.

I'm sure CajunT can pull some names for you.

I'm just telling you what the perception of the staff is of JT's recruiting abilities. They don't necessarily believe in his coaching ability, but said he is great at closing on recruits. I think someone has to come in and have control over who is targeted though.

I'm not the recruiting coordinator for one and you brought up 84 mph high school cookies not me. While playing at this perfect game, are they not still in high school? Are you saying our coaches don't know where to go to recruit? Interesting you bring up perfect game...go look at the accolades all these kids have from perfect game...I'm sure you will find some way to discredit their accolades against the best high school pitching talent in the country.

You brought up high school, not me.

They didn’t suck at it in high school, they don’t suck at it in the summer. A lot of guys are moving on this year and changes will be made and we will see how it plays out. Did all Trahan’s recruit suck in 2012? A lot of Those same guys deggs coached in 2013-14?
