Quote from: sickboy on Today at 03:43:45 pmI'm totally down. I just hope fans don't get bent out of shape when it doesn't yield deep runs every single year. I'm just down to watch some elite talents play at Arkansas, rain or shine.

Amen brother.  I realize how difficult it is to make deep runs and championships are rare.  Even with UConn's success it's an anomaly.  Honestly man I just want us to be competitive and recognized as a destination for great talent.  WPS...rain or shine!

But they think they are, and will transfer out to prove it.

Quote from: TebowHater on Today at 08:37:21 pmDidn't sound like someone mulling a coaching change or even remotely being dissatisfied with any of his assistant's performance

Sounds like a man who understands the ebbs and flows of baseball better than anyone on X or this board...

Quote from: moses_007 on Today at 11:15:31 pm247 also shows Wagner 100 percent to Arkansas.  Hopefully Cal will reel him in this weekend.

He's already landed.  This weekend is the commitment photo shoot.  Likely announced Monday or Tuesday.

If you're stacked 1-9 like nobody's business (like, say, if we added Wagner and Pryor) and the number 10 guy is legit D-1 but knows his role, and you have several PWO level or DII or mid-major role players to close out the roster, then you just whittle the rotation down a bit and use your reserves as role players when needed. But being stacked 1-9 with the likes of Fland, Wager, Nelly, Knox, Theiro, Richmond, Pryor, Big Z, and Aidoo is already a tall task to distribute all the minutes to the guys who are worthy.

Quote from: popcornhog on Today at 07:48:27 pmI don't hate it.

But I still don't understand why you wouldn't use the last 3-4 scholarships on sub par guys that you think could develop. Especially since one or two injuries would ruin your season with a 9 man roster.

What I've read coaches saying is you spend a year developing them only to see them hit the portal.

Quote from: Kris P. Bacon on Today at 07:41:30 pmGo back and look at playing time for our recent teams or Kentucky's. Even with injuries, eligibility issues etc... once you get past 9-10 the min/game falls off a cliff

Not so sure about falling off a cliff we do know how injuries caused UK to struggle during the season a few years ago. And UofA during NSJ's one and only year. It can be a problem. But again I get the narrated ( talking point). Alphas for bench warmers wont work.

Just wondering. What would you do if you have multiple injuries in a season? I get the narrative but a few beta? Maybe...

247 also shows Wagner 100 percent to Arkansas.  Hopefully Cal will reel him in this weekend.
