Why We Should Make AT LEAST the Super Regionals This Year.
When Chad Holbrook was hired as HC in '12 he was one of the hottest names in HC candidate circles across the country. Our program was at an all time high and Ray Tanner pointed at Holbrook's recruiting efforts to be critical to that great run on CWS's we had. Nobody ever doubted Holbrook's ability to recruit, nor should they.
This year's team is probably the deepest team of talent SC has ever had, if you believe the recruiting site rankings.
Here are the Perfect Game Class Rankings since Holbrook took over in '12.
https://www.perfectgame.org/rankings/Recruiting/Rankings.aspx
(By the way, these are AFTER MLB rankings as well, so they don't count the players signed by MLB.)
'16 - #4 (not on campus yet unless they EE'd.) 5 Top 100 Commits, McIlwain EE
'15 - #8 3 Top 100 Commits
'14 - #3 2 Top 100 Commits
'13 - #3 1 Top 100 Commits
'12 - #9 2 Top 100 Commits
'11 - #1 4 Top 100 Commits
'15 (3 JUCO Top 100 Commits)
I did some research on the fall baseball roster. LINK
11 guys were drafted and offered contracts
9 were in the Top 100 of their class that year.
15 had an All American type of award
5 Players had all 3 (AA, Top100, Draft) 3 of the 5 were Pitchers, but 2 aren't available this season (Will Crowe and Cody Morris.)
With the '15 class we brought in 3 JUCO All Americans; 2 sluggers who got in on hitting and 1 stud Pitcher. We also got several great HS products who played for the EvoShield Canes club.
Also we only play 4 of the favored/ranked SEC teams this season.

It will not be easy to get to 40 wins, but it's do-able.
With all that said. It sucks that Morris and Crowe can't pitch this year, but we have enough talent to make it to the NCAAt and really enough talent to get to Super Regionals. Next year, with Crowe and Morris, we should have a CWS team, but if Holbrook can't even make it to Super's or at least Regionals, then he might not see that squad.
