it will probably be a shock to our players. Assuming that they are halfway competitive, of course. Polk and Raffo have turned our team into a YMCA outfit.
I think that might be why some of our players don't want Cohen (per rumor). They know that he will come in and want to win, and probably will yell at them if they screw up from time to time. By the same token, they know Raffo won't yell at them and will keep things status quo.
I wouldn't be surprised if Mississippi College, Samford, Belhaven, and Millsaps get an influx of MSU players in the very near future.
And the other thng that really pisses me off is why do we have to keep guys like Crosswhite and Bowen in the rotation when they have proven that they can't do the job? I mean TRY something different. I think Whitney should get a shot. But here again, if we had some creativity, I think we could have a successful season- and as easy as it is to make a Regional now a days, we would probably do well enough to go as a three seed, which with this team is a feat.
Also, our next coach needs to change our recruiting philosophy. We need to go after players who are better- even if it means that we will lose a couple to the draft. I look at the other SEC shools, and they all have pitchers who are at least 6'0" and have pretty good stuff. We just throw a bunch of off speed junk, and worse, don't throw it for strikes. I also notice that the other SEC schools sign a lot more players than we do. It's ridiculous, especially with our resources.
