Super Regional Appearance or Bust

We had 6 consecutive Top10 Ranked Classes. There are no excuses to not make Regionals 2 years in row and really, he better prove that he can go deeper in the post season than that.

Here are the Perfect Game Class Rankings since Holbrook took over in '12.

(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 SC's Spring 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 of the above (All American, Top100, and Drafted) 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.


Seriously, I really hope Holbrook does well, b/c if he can't get to at least Super Regionals with that much talent, he damn sure isn't going to do it anywhere else.
