That's fair enough. Evaluating it as we sit here today though, would you take three years of Mahtook of four of Dugas?

Id still take three years of Mahtook

Especially considering he was a huge part of our success in the NC run as a freshman, not sure if Dugas would have been able to do it (again, cant predict the future)

Mahtook was one of the few bright spots the past two seasons

Biggest mistake IMO would probably be his handling of Ott the last couples of seasons, kept trusting him time and time again and let him fail over and over until he really had no confidence out there on the mound

baseball is not like any other sport because of the 11.7 schollies.
to build a team, you need walk-ons or players that will accept 1/3 and not bolt to someone else because they are offered 1/2 or more. tulame has tried to buy two position players into their program with 3/4 or full schollies & it has bit them when the player is injured & they lose two positions- pitcher & batter.we were right taking mikie! won nc with him & bama has not made the cws & will not make it
