Assuming we get a new coach after this season would we realistically be able to contend in the SEC next season or is this a multi year rebuild at this point?

Who is Arky's coach??? I'd hire that fellar.

If we hired a top notch coach would he be able to bring in some top Hs and transfer talent to turn it around? With the new transfer rules, I would think we could turn the roster around.

MLB teams will sometimes draft players out of high school and put them in their farm system which never happens in football. The NBA will draft exceptional players after 1 year in college. Both distinctly different than football.

So with baseball you can attract alot of players that just miss on the upper echelon of skills and put together a very good team in short order. In addition I think how scholarships work in baseball make it a little more flexible for the coach encourage players to leave, stay or come on board. However I'm not 100% sure how those scholarships work.

I'd give it about 3 years of rebuild before I hope to have a good chance in year 3. College baseball gives freshmen a better chance to compete than football so it's not necessarily time to develop players so much as time to get the a foot in the state and gather talent.

That being said, for both his presence in state and what he has accomplished at Iraq Texas Tech, I want to crack open the checkbook for Tim Tadlock.

Problem with hiring Tadlock , he is already well compensated. As a coach why would you take over a rebuild when you have been consistently getting to Omaha with your current team. He is also a tech Alum.

Possibly we could money whip the UVA guy or Schlossnagle

I still think we could compensate enough, but I didn't know he's a Tech alum, so that's not gonna happen.

Apparently Schloss isn't going anywhere. I even feel like I heard A&M has talked to him before and there's no interest.

That's simply Not the case... so I'm not sure you heard talking but... they were wrong.

11.7 spread over 25-30 kids. You see roster changes every year.

What do you think on the present team would be considered "a dude" or a sure fire player.

I'll just say people better get their licks in this year.

With the new transfer rule and the usual JUCO talent supply that waits to sign in the summer, a baseball roster can be turned over very quickly.

If A&M hires a very good to elite coach (and I think they will), you'll see an immediate improvement in year one, and by year two the new coach will have the roster up to full strength and making a run at Omaha.

That's what i wanted to hear!

and as previously mentioned...with the new transfer rule...

the new coach...might bring numerous players with him. Especially if he is a P5 coach already

New coach will definitely change up 2022 recruits as far as hitters. Can't remember the last recruit we had that had a great bat.

if I remember correctly...the great purge came after Childress' first season (2006) --- not before his first season.

so most of the underclassmen will get a shot with the new coach...and then the transfers will pour in.

only 3 players are hitting above .240 in conference play. Two of them for sure won't be back: Frizzell (draft) and Alejo (eligibility expired).

there could be massive turnover

Why? If we can get transfers now the new coach should do it.

"Tadlock, who took the Red Raiders to the College World Series for the third time in five years, will receive a seven-year, $7 million deal that pays him $300,000 in base salary and $700,000 in rights fees each year of the contract. The agreement runs through Aug. 31, 2025."

College World Series coaches' pay

• Vanderbilt's Tim Corbin: $1,300,000.
• Arkansas' Dave Van Horn: $1,100,000.
• Louisville's Dan McDonnell: $1,100,000.
• Auburn's Butch Thompson: $1,000,000.
• Texas Tech's Tim Tadlock: $1,000,000.
• Florida State's Mike Martin: $700,000.
• Mississippi State's Chris Lemonis: $600,000.

it will be fun for the aggie baseball historians to compare the "cupboards" left behind.

among the players MJ left for Childress:

Kyle Nicholson
Jason Meyer
Jordan Chambless
Parker Dalton
Craig Stinson
Blake Stouffer

and I think Kyle Colligan and Kyle Thebeau were November 2004 signees for MJ. Not sure if Luke Anders was too.

you know...that's a pretty good list of ballplayers

---

MJ left some other dudes for Childress whom he ran off went and started for other programs who made the CWS too.

---

Can you name some names?

That list sure brings back some memories. My first game at Olsen was in the spring of 2005.

Shew wasn't drafted in 2020. Give it another shot.
