Miami has #1 recruiting class: "HAHA YOU MOPES DOUBTED GINO” Gino can’t get out of a regional: “Well, you know, it’s impossible to recruit well with only 11.7 scholarships.”

Disgusting.

Right, not enough to back up your claim.

There you go abandoning the topic already to make it about me.

Based on the last 20 years, he needs to call someone. If it’s me, fine. But call someone.

So don’t claim that I’m dense if you admittedly said nothing about the person.

As long as JD “trusts” his coaches, though. Right?

That’s you still missing the point. Your sales pitch was lame, worse than the resume of Nicholson. It still says nothing about analytics.

Then use better clues, because “two World Series rings and minor league coaching experience” literally says nothing about knowledge of analytics. Kristen Nicholson would be a better hire than most former players.

That addresses exactly nothing that I wrote.

I would rather have an assistant coach that understands 2023 analytics than a buddy that I "trust".

I am certainly going to give JD time before I put him on full blast. For all we know, JD thought Gino was just as much of a goof as we do.

This is where I'm at as well. Maybe we're not the draw we think we are.

But the state of Virginia doesn't compile CWS-level talent, so UVA has a ton of out of state players on their team. Out of state COA at UVA is $75,000 to $80,000. Virginia has the same battle we do, but they own us.

Talent IS an issue, but not for the reasons they are claiming. As has been said here for years, we have taken the lazy route by signing the local Perfect Game 9.5s, and those guys don't turn out to be much more than showcase heroes who are good enough for 2nd in the Coastal. We don't identify...

Dallas Baptist, with all of 11 years in a D1 conference, has a nine-year postseason streak. Our streak is four.

Vanderbilt still has to find players from coast to coast, and that takes work. But you CAN look at more than just south Florida. We were able to do that in the past WITHOUT the advantage of having everything available online.

Actually, the CIS message board regulars called this years ago. We said when Gino was hired that he wasn't championship material. Need I point you to his results?

When I say "it's a challenge" I am not calling it a "non-issue". If we're going to do this, respond to what I actually write. Don't make stuff up. Being "driven" doesn't mean driving to Ft Myers or Jupiter or taking calls from Miami-Dade travel ball bros. It means looking across the country to...

You mean like getting rid of Mark Richt to bring in Kirby Smart? That is what we are trying to do here. And please stop bringing up tuition. It’s a challenge, but nothing that can’t be overcome by a driven coach.
