Recruiting: Robichaux's Press Conference & Radio Show

[babysitter]

PLEEEEZ get these coaches off the radio for the next 4 weeks. They are not helping themselves at all. These cats are trying to sell us beachfront property in Montana. Make it stop.

He mentioned how fans would always complain that all we did was pitch but we needed to recruit hitters. He said:

"I don't recruit, my recruiting coordinators recruit" and then finished it up with maybe now fans will see how important pitching is.

So basically we allowed this program's worst hitting coach of my lifetime find and recruit all of the players on this team? And we're still confused about why we suck?

Didn’t realize we recruited hitters over the last 4 years. Could have fooled me.

Only coaches allowed on the road are paid assistants and head coach. Wells and Talbot are the paid coaches. The statement 3 coaches on the road infers Robe is one.

However, that contradicts what he said Saturday on O-Zone. Robe said there he does not travel for recruiting, which has been my understanding for a long time.

Dad—Robe talked about JT’s and Wells’ travels to recruit—inferring, imo, they were doing the majority of traveling.

Interesting he said in two interviews this week he doesnt go out and recruit.

Is he saying this horrible roster is not his fault? If so, why has he not fixed the problem?

Maybe he is signaling the recruiting disaster is about to end with Talbot getting the boot.

Who’s the 3rd full time recruiter that was referenced then?

When they effed up his pitching staff, he finally said something about the ongoing recruiting fail.

No idea.

EDIT: Listened to the replay. Freeman.

Thanks. That was my understanding. Did they mention who else was out scouting players?

Freeman, Jt, and Wells are doing the recruiting. He said it publically tonight. Freeman was looking at some local high school kids, Wells was in Tx, and JT was in Mississippi.

Sounds a lot like Bobby Bowden at FSU. He built a tremendous program, only to stop doing the things that he did to build the program. Once he stopped doing those things it was all over for him as the HC.

Didn’t someone post the ncaa bylaws for volunteer assistant not too long ago? Pretty sure it limited what that position was able to do in terms of recruiting. Are we breaking rules or was that post outdated? Are we publicly admitting to breaking rules? Is tony claiming freeman as a full time recruiter when he’s limited and tony would not be?
