Glad he isn't in the SEC, especially at Vandy or LSU.

Disclaimer: Assuming his credits transfer and they offer his major.

From what I’ve heard that legitimately did tank their plan for tcu. Wouldn’t have been eligible this season. Their academic department screwed that one up

 

[WGWTFA98]

it was never about nil. if it was he would most likely still be here

Yup

 

[Weezer]

I'm curious about the use of technology in college baseball and TV's feelings about employing it to improve our team.

Agreed

We are the anti wake when it comes to coaching style

The kids I named.

2 entered the portal

1 went to Walters state and pitched this spring . Not sure if he did enter the portal or not

I’m curious where the other two end up ?

anyone heard their schools they are looking at??

Bruin, i'm gonna drop this topic for now, unless you want to do as Freak suggested, and start another thread. You've managed to kidnap a thread and turn it upside down over a grievance of yours that is thoroughly off topic. I would participate in a thread you start if you want to do that, and we can hash it out there.

Give me some time to put together some real numbers with recruiting class sizes and stuff to compare and I will. It make take a few days
I look forward to it

WF is super ahead of the curve. I think TV is pretty old school from what I’ve heard. But Tony literally eats sleeps and breathes this program and I don’t think is ever against anything he feels makes it better

as long as FA is here there won’t be a movement toward that WF style

What curve? Analytics?

 

[BruinVol]

I need to learn more I admit but I think a lot of what they do is in the training side of things. Lots of cutting edge technology and techniques with their arm care routines

I know WF has their "pitching lab", but I'm actually more interested in the use of VR in batting. The idea of simulating a pitcher you're about to face in this way sounds pretty damn cool.

 

[WGWTFA98]

What curve? Analytics?

Yeah analytics/medical and physical science. When I say ahead of the curve I guess i don’t mean they’re any better than what we do, but they’re definitely doing things different at WF than they are most places, and most people feel it’s going to keep trending that way - hence why MLB teams are trying to steal the guy who implemented all this stuff at WF

TV and FA are old school, but it absolutely works well and hard to criticize them given their results

 

[AllThingsTN]

it’s clear to those kids and their families they didn’t make the cut.
I call a spade a spade.
it’s the harsh reality of what’s allowed in D1 baseball

It wasn’t the word “cut”. Being cut from any team, job, or what-have-you is never a good thing. But the way you referenced it in terms of TV, and all of your other arguing against him, made it a seem quite a bit more abrasive. Like he was the one doing it the most or that he was the worst apple. That’s the way I took it at least. Lastly, Preach has a personal relationship with TV so of course he takes the hate more personal, as any of us would, and defends the man and program that he knows much better than any of us do. That’s it from me tho. Sorry again for clutter this thread everyone.

It’s a fascinating discussion

Does the science/technology/coaching matter or is less more??

Meaning is talent the only thing that really matters

Hard to know

Who knows. Two teams that did it polar opposite ways had the two best pitching staffs this year

Different doesn't always mean better. And programs like that cost money. But I would want my program to be looking at every new promising thing in case it will become something good.

 

[Orange.]

sounds like burns is headed to wake forest per vq posters

Sorry to hear that but not shocked. Glad he would be out of conference, if the rumor turns out to be true.

Yea only thing I’d “argue” was tenn had more ready made talent than wake

And to be fair I don’t know that’s true but it seems to me tenn had a head start with talent

it is unfortunately. he just announced on his ig a few minutes ago.

Do not know Tony V personally but if what people who do know him tell me is accurate I guarantee he’s put a ton of thought into it.

But at the end of the day, he really trusts Frank to do his thing with the pitchers and doesn’t wanna mess with it too much. Easy to understand why given how good they are as a pitching staff every year

If you buy into recruiting rankings/preseason draft rankings/portal rankings I’d say that’s definitely true, but even then it’s a fine line. Lots of talent on both staffs this season - Wake ended up with a ton of guys drafted

I guess it more just suggests that as long as you pick your style and do it well, you can create a great staff no matter how you do it. No right way
