If very few or no GT seniors made camp tryouts, that WOULD say a lot about our talent level, since being signed as an UDFA is very easy. However, the fact that many do make camp tryouts does not mean anything positive about our talent levels. Every P5 school worth anything at all will have all...

I can't believe GT grads think that having a bunch of seniors picked up as UDFA camp bodies indicates a quality talent level in the program. An NFL UDFA camp guy is the equivalent of a guy being picked in the 37th round of the MLB draft to fill out a rookie league roster for a season. A college...

Equating winning percentages between the coaches of wildly divergent sports at GT (football, basketball, and baseball) in the manner you did as support for Hall struck me as very poor logic, the 3 sports are apples, oranges, and bananas and cannot be compared. Going .500 or better in football...

That's dumb. Hall gets to play flimsy non conference opponents (approximately 50% of the baseball schedule is non-con, and year in year out, every non con opponent is an inferior program, depending on what you think about the 3 UGA games) at a much higher rate than Paul Johnson, who only gets...

So...does anyone have a sense of if we're actually good or not or is it still wait and see? We consistently bomb away mediocre teams but the FSU series was a disaster. Do other schools have these perpetual pitching injuries? Every year we're missing at least 1 weekend starter for the entire...

Why is Pitts still getting starts? Seems like these games would be good to get younger/more promising pitchers more experience. Seems like we have enough guys to get through 9 innings.

Yes, very strange. It's a shame how the minor league system completely kills college baseball-what if the top 75 college basketball recruits went pro every year? It would be an ugly sport. Also, it's disappointing that GT doesn't fare very well in a sport like this, where the top players who...

Yawn. Same old GT sports.

Yeah, the college baseball rankings are clearly not as standardized as those in CBB and CFB, more than a little bit of a mess. I personally love how ramblinwreck.com always uses the highest one, regardless of the poll. At what point do they give some alumni $40 to start their own 'poll' and rank...

Precisely. The NCAA hands out phony medical redshirts like candy to true freshman who play in the first one or two games and don't show up after that, that's exactly my point. Whether it's a normal redshirt or medical redshirt makes no difference: it's easy for true freshman to play early in the...

Then please explain the Montez Sweat situation I just described.

It's been happening as recently as last season. Off hand I can distinctly think of a guy from Michigan State, Montez Sweat, who got snaps in the 2014 non-con games and is listed as as a R-FR on the MSU official website. I think what happens is that the marginal freshmen play in the first one...

It's pretty common for true freshman to play in 1-2 early season games and still redshirt after that. I'd best most of the T-FR who played Thursday end up redshirting.

Indeed I am. I'm not asking for teams to put up 22 in every midweek game, but the scoring range for the power conference team should be a lot more like 11-15 runs than 4-8 like it seems to be. Even that loaded Palka-Evans team consistently output weak performances like 1 run against Mercer, 5...

I've only been following college baseball for a couple of years (starting with the Farmer/Palka/Evans team a few years ago) and keep having the same couple of questions about the sport nag at me. 1. Why aren't midweek games particularly high-scoring? You'd think games that feature a...
