I’m hoping it never leaves Hoover.

OF Owen Diodati, Alabama
Diodati has one huge advantage if he finds his way to Mississippi State: SEC experience. The Crimson Tide outfielder has been in the conference since 2020 and was a strong and steady force for the team last season. He ended the year with 26 RBI and 27 runs scored while batting .242 and being walked 25 times. On top of a solid offensive performance, Diodati finished with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.

Auburn wins their 9th straight regional game to make their 3rd Super Regional in 4 years. But muh scholarships.

We are obviously getting a 6th year of Bo. But it’s pretty obvious coaching and development are an issue.
I fully expect to move on to a new staff this time in 2023. Thank Bo for rebuilding the roster and hire a better fit.

The scholarships are a real issue, but Auburn and the Mississippi schools are proof that it can be overcome with investment, good coaching, and player development. Our program is running out of excuses.

Maybe hire Scott Berry if he wasn’t about to turn 60. Not sure he’d ever leave Southern Miss though. He’s been there as an assistant or head coach since 2001. Incredible what’s he’s done there though. Very consistent since 2016.

What the last 5 years has confirmed to me is that the next guy we hire has to be from the Mark Stoops school of coaching/recruiting.
- Identify players that will be 3-4 year guys with raw skill sets you see as able to be developed
- create a culture of toughness and chip on your shoulderness - not assholery like Tennessee but a program that just grinds every game
- development development development
We will never be a consistent Top 8 SEC baseball program if we aren't a program that consistently takes raw material and molds them into solid to very good college baseball players over a 2-3 year period.
We will NEVER recruit enough depth of elite players year after year after year to compete with Arkansas, Vanderbilt, LSU, Florida, Texas and now Tennessee (and soon A&M) that way. We have to do it a different way. We have to have an identity and a system.

Excuse my French, George, but this is bullshite.
Money makes the world go round and with enough of it we can absolutely compete with these other programs.
The question is do we take cash from the football team and invest it in baseball?
We all would like the answer to be yes, but does the University agree?

Bama baseball has proven it can be successful…. Just takes a little more than it used to. As SOG said we have to develop players but I absolutely believe we can get some elite talent

The scholarship thing + the fact that we aren't an elite legacy program + we aren't a state that churns out mass numbers of elite talent just makes it really difficult to recruit in that Top 5-7 range every single season.
We can sign good classes (as Bo has), but we're just not ever going to sign an incoming class like LSU or Vandy currently have with 8-10 potential top 100 picks from all over the country.
It sucks to say it but Butch has shown the model for it at Auburn. And, obviously, we hoped Bo would duplicate it due to working with Butch and coming out of that general system. And in recruiting he has. But development just hasn't been on the same level as what Auburn has done. Maybe it'll break through next year, but if not...

Also, I want to make it clear I wasn't saying we can't compete with those programs. I was saying we can't compete with them by just stockpiling our roster with elite talent year after year.
We can absolutely compete with them, but we have to do it in a way that fits what we are. And quite frankly Auburn is showing that exact model right now.

Future non football facilities are at risk as boosters heard the NIL call for recruiting very clearly

Yeah, but that said, if Vitello or someone Vitello-like wants to come on down, I'm cool with it.

I dont necessarily agree here. The kind of boosters that give mega bucks to a university have more money then God. The true NIL deals are coming from big co. who see the potential of getting their guys signed early so they can still be doing ads and sponsorship deals with them when they go pro. I would love to see a list of the players who make in excess of 1Mil and who the sponsors are.

Four SEC West teams advance to super regionals.
aTm
Aub
Ark
OM
And LSU was damn close.
We went 7-4 against that bunch.
Ridiculous.

But at least we tried hard in our 7 losses against South Carolina, North Alabama, UAB and UT-Martin!
