[QUOTE="GTJon, post: 944212, member: 4007"] It really hits home when I see those pitching recruits how different reality has turned out to be from what we hoped. Go back to summer of 2021. If you had projected our weekend rotation back then for 2023, things looked outstanding. You'd have Grissom as a junior plus 3 recruits rated 10 in PG along with depth after that. Now of those 4, 3 aren't even on the roster this year and the one that is has battled injuries all year. I don't believe there's any one person or thing to blame and certainly bad luck with injuries has played a role, but it just seems like a microcosm of what this program has faced in recent years and it's hard to see us pulling out of it without a full reset at this point. I know I still get bothered by 2019 and I can only imagine how much it hurt CDH. Not just the Auburn loss but also the injuries to Curry and Hurter and the thought that if they had stayed healthy, that really was a CWS winning caliber team. I can picture him thinking, just keep trying to hold on and get one year to make up for that. Maybe even the triumph of one more regional win would have been enough to let him retire satisfactorily. But again, that seems like a pretty far goal right now. I think what bothers me the most right now is how little we have to count on for the future. For whatever reason, we have gotten very little production on offense or pitching from our last 2 highly ranked recruiting classes. And now we are still looking at having to replace up to 7 players next year in our everyday lineup. Whether it's misses in recruiting, lack of player development, training methods that need to change to protect against injuries, all of the above, I don't know. But it feels like it's not going to turn it around on its own. And in regards to Borrell, I honestly don't see how he can have a job after that game Saturday. That felt like a "Collins against USF" moment where you have failed so miserably and to such extreme, that you are just causing more harm than good by being here. Promote Wieters, hire somebody from a top high school, get a former player to come back and fill in for the rest of the year, I don't know. But there has to be accountability somewhere and after 4 years at the job to still be producing overall numbers that we have plus a game like that, it just can't be allowed to continue. [/QUOTE]
