They quit posting here because of the stupidity I alluded to earlier in this thread. And because Turbine kept deleting and changing threads when we were outing administration staff...

Just because your title is not recruiting coordinator does not mean you can not recruit. I actually think this can work. Most of the recruiting now days is done during the summer when both coaches can be out watching players. There is some recruiting done during the high school season which would and has taken the recruiting coordinator away from the team. So now we have a guy who can stay with the team during the season and have a guy chasing down players at the same time. And both can go out to recruit during the summers. This could work

☝🏻This is true

We have a couple kids lighting it up in summer league, so we'll see.. I think Mr. Wells is going to be a star. We can discuss why after the announcement is official.

Btw, shout out to the poster who just called me and reminded me that "ahhh those jackasses on Ragin Pagin don't know _____... rabble rabble rabble" 😂🤣😬

Faceless Buffoon Society.. We're everywhere.. Operating in the shadows..

Fake new.......................... nevermind.

So you wanted Talbot fired and anything less would not have satisfied you. Is that correct? Not saying that is right or wrong. Just asking for clarification.

That's a fair question and I'll be happy to answer it. I thought Talbot should have exited immediately after the 2017 season. With 3 consecutive years of declining offensive numbers [I'll give him a pass in 2015 since 2014's numbers were so good], what other hitting coach in college baseball would have rode out that storm. But here's the bottom line that some of you may or may not know, Talbot is not a players coach. Period. End of story. This is fact, not BS. Over the past 4 years, players have not bought in one bit to what this guy was selling. In college sports, that's a recipe for disaster. There was a wall between him and his hitters and it was obvious. Enter Jake Wells who I have no clue about other than his bio and the fact that he was going to be the chosen one. I hope this young man comes here and lights a fire under not only the players but the remaining coaching staff [Including Tony]. This has been lost in the abyss since 2014. If this can't happen and happen soon, this new stadium won't be the only renovation that was needed.

I have been posting on this board since 2015 that players did not trust nor like JT. Pretty common knowledge to those paying attention.

With all due respect MAT, I'm not a veteran poster I'll admit so maybe I missed that but we are in total agreement !

But I do have a question for you. Do you think Talbot should still be around? You seem to be somewhat quiet on that subject or maybe I missed previous posts over the last few years when you may have expressed an opinion about that. Just a question.

Hammer and Zee are two of the nicest Oaksters I have ever met.

I like Hammer58 & ZeeBart21 a lot.

I posted that JT should have been fired at the end of last year because he would be poisoning a really nice recruiting class that we had coming in. It’s exactly what happened.

I destroyed the guy the entire year. Kids don’t trust him and he is a disaster in the 3rd base box. I never want our players taking instruction from the man ever again.

Having said that, I know his pipeline contacts have paid dividends for us in the past and they will in the future. Having him on staff has value. I am happy things are being structured like this and I think it will pay off for everyone.

I hope you're right. I'll sit back and watch what he brings in. So far, I'm not overly impressed.
