Gotta face the music....

_ You're absolutely right, we would not be talking about this if we were winning. We also wouldnt be talking about the downfalls of small ball, and the positive/negative impact of selling beer at games. But the fact is we are losing. Everything is going to come into question. Would you want it any other way? Fans have a right to voice their concerns. This is why I would personally prefer my son to play elsewhere. Once less distraction. Moreover, its not like Justin Robichaux is the next Jason Heyward, and letting him go elsewhere would have been a catastrophic loss.

Im not trying to be sarcastic when I ask this because I honestly dont know the answer to this question. How heavily was justin recruited by other colleges? _

I want to warn you before the answers start coming in to your question..Their are two things that high school kids always lie about: 1.What their SAT score was 2.How heavily they were recruited

And what constitutes recruiting . I could start a whole new thread on this topic.

But I'll be short! I got letters from 50+ schools my entire junior year. When it came to the first day they could call I got 5 calls and not all from D1 schools. And when it came down to offers I had 2 D1 offers. But was I being recruited by 50+ schools who were writing me letters telling me they were recruiting me? That's a very tough question to answer and I believe only the player could tell you how many schools were recruiting him. I can't think of anyone else that would know that besides my family.

Have you ever thought about coaching?

_ Have you ever thought about coaching? _

When I started college I wanted to be a recruiter and thought that would be a lot of fun. It's a lot tougher job than it looks like when you're 18 going through the recruiting process. Traveling from GA, FL, CA, and TX in the off season on your weekends to watch HS Amateur baseball would be very tough on a person's family life. I would love to be a pitching coach in college, but the lifestyle is not what I wanted. Not much job security and a lot of moving around.

On a side note I did coach the 7th Grade Cathedral Carmel Tigers and the kids won a Catholic school championship this year .

_ You're exactly right. If you want daddy ball...sign up for the rec league or USSSA ball. Ever since Justin or should i say "Jut" got here, the program has gone down hill. The only reason 2007 was worth anything was because of Lucroy and Tatford. And the bad news is...there is another Robichaux on the way. _

hey benny, your buddy lil robe has 2 clutch hits with 3 RBI's so far tonight....and his daddy is still the coach

There is no question Justin is a D1 player and a valuable part of this team.

Anyone who's visited this board over the few years has seen some pretty dumb posts. I've had a couple of weak moments myself.

But NOTHING that I can remember at this moment is as stupid as the one below. If we voted for a "Dumb" award, this guy would be way out front. Sounds like either "Ben", or maybe his son, wasn't could enough to play, so he's gonna blame somebody else. Or maybe he just wet his bed.
