I'm not concerned with Florida State. They seem to always hit a brick wall. We haven't yet.
Van Horn in some of his Six CWS apperances, he has managed to overachieve in the post season.
Now the recruiting has exploded, he will finally win one because he will now have the better team. While in other appearances, he did not.
It’s just so hard to win one. Duke basketball had three top 10 draft picks a couple of years ago and a HOF coach and didn’t even make the final four despite being the best team all year long. Baseball may be a bit different since it’s not single elimination but you’re still behind the 8 ball if you even lose one game.

Duke has won five titles including 12 final fours. Winning a title is very hard but winning five in basketball is a lot. Considering it is harder to win the NCAA tournament than the CWS. Most schools would be very fortunate to win more than one.
You have to look at the trajectory of the baseball program from where it was and how it got started. It was bad in the 90s to the early 00s. Van Horn took a while but he was able to build up the baseball program as one of the best each year. We had very little baseball history program prior to Van Horn. Norm did a good job but Van Horn has taken us to heights we never been before.
Our recruiting is getting consistently better these last three years. We are making more CWS apperances and it would be three years in a row if not for covid.
Do I expect the program to win multiple titles? No but I do expect them to win one in my lifetime. Van Horn at age 60 may not retire until he does. The possibility is always greater if making the CWS is almost a yearly event.

losing one game early in the CWS completely screws your pitching staff the remainder of the CWS. Even if you play your way through to the title series, you won't have any regular arms left. Happened to us in 2017.
