Most freshmen hit a wall, especially pitchers.
Floyd wasn't a freshman. Neither was Money, Cooper, Hasty, Fontenot, Vietmier, Reyzleman, Collins, Gervase, or Hilliard.

Next year he will be judged differently having another year to develop the pitchers on staff. Next season I would expect to have better starting pitching. If they have the same problem next year than Jay and Kelly are going to be under pressure to get that situation figured out.
Agreed. I'm not calling for Kelly's head and neither is OP. My only point is there are some red flags.

The bullpen threw 56% of our innings this year and really that number is higher because I excluded Hilliard, Money, Dutton, and Floyd but Floyd and Money had several of their innings out of the pen. They averaged roughly 5 innings per game.
I don't believe the guys noted above hit a wall because they lacked development, but more to the usage and that's why they struggled in Hattiesburg. JK even said on the podcast that after the Alabama series they were concerned because they were being taxed. You can argue it's the staffs fault for not having 3 quality starters but the truth is that we just didn't have the talent for front end starters you keep talking about this year. Those guys pitched really well all season.

I never claimed any of those players were freshmen. I was responding to this comment, "We had several talented freshman come in last year and 1 barely seen the field and other 2 underperformed" to give reasoning for their fall off toward the end of the season.

We did not have the starting pitching this year, what they did with this staff to be 4th in the SEC in era with the lack of starting pitching was quite impressive
Due to the lack of starting pitching we taxed the bullpen too much and as Kelly said it was unsustainable. But to be able to mix and match the pitching staff with the lack of starting pitching is impressive.

What was the red flag? How would you have handled the staff differently? They tried to go the portal route to find starting pitching but there just was not any. And with the pitchers we had on staff there might very well be pitchers with the potential to be good starters but they were not ready.
The one promising observation is that Floyd got better as the year went on. Him, Taylor, and Dutton look to have a bright future as long as they continue to develop.
