Anyone have any scoop on baseball recruiting? Would like to know what geographical area Goff is going to start focusing on in order to develop a pipeline.
Apparently Hinds Community College! I like it, #1 JC college baseball program last few years. Think we signed 5 off this team, many from LA schools.
Well Goff is a Delta State product so I imagine he has deep connections in the Magnolia State. Any link showing bios of signees?
I think we signed 6, we signed another one of their pitchers late... I listened to the interview of the Washam brothers...they are classy. Should be a great fitOriginally Posted by Gooddawg

I tried to find it at latechsports but couldn't. There was a release at one time, nice looking class with several N LA kids in it and 3 from Hinds played HS in LA.
I think I found the list. Be interested to see if he goes back to Hinds for this upcoming class also or if he loads up on more high school kids.

He said when he was hired that he would have to build the team around some jucos and that he would use scholarships to build a pitching staff. Smart move since we have TOPS to supplement the rest.
Not using jucos to build a team is really silly since the P5s are using jucos as a "farm system". We will still continue to pick up freshmen who can play immediately. IMO, it doesn't make sense to pick up a freshman who can't be an impact player only to red shirt them or for them to just take up a roster spot. The more pitchers the better.
I figured he would farm the Metroplex and try to develop a pipeline there, but the Juco approach makes sense, especially in Mississippi where there are so many. Straight shot down I-20 and he presumably has connections there.
This was in TNS today...

Outstanding article - timing couldn't be better! Like the fact that some of these kids have North LA ties also.
Seems like we don't recruit N LA at all
One high school recruit is from West Monroe. Several of the JUCO players are from north Louisiana.
It's time to close the doors to the Temple of Janus.
Fixed it.
We've had some pretty good players come out of West Monroe but none since 2009.
