Care to guess how many SEC championships Kentucky has ever won in baseball? That would be one. As in the one from 2 years ago. He lost most of those guys, and 2 years later, they are #2 in the nation. What the hell else do you want? He can obviously recruit and motivate. And for Christ's sake, he played at State.
Unfortunately, since Templeton will be doing the hiring, we will have Raffo. You can book that.
Right, where the GM and the almighty $$ reign supreme. Free agency and salaries make the pro game so different than the college game. Nat would have to recruit his talent versus having the ballclub sign a check for them. Not saying he can't do it, but using his pro success as a reason that he would be successful (especially in recruiting) in the college ranks is a bit of a reach, IMO
