What must AU do to build a competitive baseball roster?

You have to identify early players that may take a year to be college ready but are great students. Put them on academic scholarship and use your 11.7 baseball scholarships on players that aren’t great students.

Last recruiting cycle Vandy signed 11 of the Top 100. I think we signed 1 or zero. Thinking zero but can’t remember exactly. Granted Vandy lost 2 or 3 to the draft but you see the difference

Gotta also cash in on selling of we are one full season away from Omaha. So for 2 class Butch has had that available to sell to players.

Hope the hope scholarships go away?

I think the but Jesus deal is gone. Way more Christians would be in favor of it now then 20 years ago. It would pass easily if politicians would get out of the way and say all money goes to schools of the profits. Don’t try allotments for anything else except for education. No secret slush funds. No bail outs to the general fund (slush fund) etc…

That ain't going to happen. Part of that 'free' money coming from lottery/casinos is going to be part of the politicians backdoor approval.

ofc, alabama politicians, even though as you said, has broken the christian coalition of politicians, still fall all over themselves to find another way to kill it.

I thought for sure it finally was going to pass...my bad for being still naive.
