Maybe we should stop recruiting on player rankings and actually go see guys pitch. Just saying

You are 100% correct about the used car salesman. All coaches Lie. Truth is you don't need a 40 or even 35 man roster. We won 2 acc titles with a 30 man roster back in the 80s.

There were only 48 teams in the field while Morris Coached. Honestly, it's not that hard to make a regional these days. It is harder to understand how we consistently lose every year to teams that have far lower ranked recruiting classes. Time for a change. Look at Clemson with Bakich. Took...

He's a nice guy and we all know where nice guys finish.

Too many misses in recruiting. We recruit talent by numbers only (spin rate, mph, exit velo) but not mentally tough players imo. We're soft as was our schedule

I heard Schmolke to Wake Forest

I think development still needs to be a priority but probably isn't happening because I can get a quick fix through the portal. And you're right, some pitchers that were not successful at Tech are doing well post tech.

I think our recruiting has not been very good despite being highly ranked. How do you think the transfers got so good ? Were they misses out of high school by GT ? Chandler Simpson is a perfect example. Local kid, would have loved to come to Tech out of high school but wasn't ranked high enough...

Wonder why we need so many transfers if our recruiting classes are so good ?

Our coaching style is broken. We recruit hitters and play them anywhere in the field as long as they hit. We recruit velocity/spin rate pitchers in the hopes of striking out more hitters so our porous defense is not exposed. This model does not win at a high level. Look at Clemson this year...

Amen !

Let's start by saying that Russ Chandler is not a pitcher friendly park. A starting pitcher that can accomplish a 4.5 ERA for Tech would be sufficient to win a lot of games at Tech. You need contrast in pitching styles to accomplish this effectively. For example, if all my starters throw 92-94...

Thank you for proving impermissible benefits. I know the big Organizations provide airfare and accommodations for certain kids while they are playing. Does not receiving these benefits before college void your amateur status ? Seems pretty straight forward to me. My point is this. The recruiters...

Showcase baseball began with Perfect game. The more perfect game events you play the higher your ranking. If you play for East Cobb, Canes or Team Elite you are ranked higher by default. If you check the PG profiles for all the Tech players you will notice that they all played a ton of PG...

Poor recruiting which is based solely on PG rankings. The harder you throw the higher your ranking. It doesn't matter if you can actually pitch or throw strikes. Tech has gotten lazy on the recruiting trail. Their downward spiral can be traced to when Lakepoint was built and became the showcase...

Former Tech alumni here. Technology can't help throw strikes or throw breaking ball strikes in fastball situations. I brought my son to tech 2 summers ago for Danny to view. His spin rates weren't good enough for Tech. He was just names SC 4A state pitcher of the year. All he does is win games...
