Talent level of the Baseball Team

Unlike football, rankings don't come out until after the last day for signings in the draft. So, for this years class, you won't find a ranking until July 15th?

We rarely rank high lately, but not many people rank baseball recruting.

Posted by Tiger 10S Actually, I think this was one of Manieri's better coaching jobs. We had a couple of good pitchers, a couple of good defensive players (Nola, for one) and Rhymes and Katz for hitting and that's about it. I think he pretty much maximized the talent and won more games than he should have.

Sometimes a "good" coaching job is directly linked to a "poor" recruiting job.

So basically what you are suggesting is that if you want to be percieved as doing a good job of coaching, just bring in subpar talent and assistant coaches....then if you do okay, you will be considered to have overacheived.....pretty clever. Seriously, whose fault is it that we don't have talent on this team, and whose fault is it we are so poor fundamentally and poor assistant coaching?

All post-MLB signing day rankings...

Collegiate Baseball

2010: #1 (5. Florida, 7. SC, 10. Vandy, 14. Arkansas, 16. UK, 18. Miss St, 21. Ole Miss, 26. Auburn, 37. Bama)
2009: #3 (1. Florida, 6. UK, 8. Vandy, 15. Miss St, 18. Ole Miss, 20. UGA, 30. SC, 34. Tenn, 38. Arkansas)

Baseball America

2010: #2 (6. Florida, 8. Arkansas, 12. Vandy, 18. Ole Miss, 19. SC, 20. Auburn, 22. Miss St)
2009: NR (1. Florida, 8. Miss St, 12. Ole Miss, 13. Vandy, 14. Tenn, 15. UK)

Are you sure that Collegiate Baseball is post signing ? Plus .. 2009 is after the 2008 season .. Right ?

BA puts theirs out in September and Collegiate Baseball does theirs in October.
2009 is from Sept/Oct of 2009. So 2011 is for the signing class eligible to play starting in 2012.

So NR in BA means we were worse than 40 for those 2 years? Seems way different than CB??

Doing OK? FYI- We won the SEC (by far the best conference in college baseball), won 7 0f 9 games against SEC CWS participants, and were within 1 win of going to Omaha when we ran into a hot team. A little more than "OK."
