re: According to Big Ben on wwl..names he is hearing is Bianco and Godwin

I would be very happy with McDonnell or Godwin. I'm sorry but I can't get behind Bianco. He's a nice guy. I like him. But 1 Omaha appearance in 20+ seasons just isn't sufficient on the resume. If he currently had 5 CWS appearances and a national runner-up like Van Horn at Arkansas, I would be all for him. 1 just screams not able to win when it matters. Sorry...

The "more resources at LSU" argument holds some merit for Louisville or East Carolina-- it doesn't hold near as much for Ole Miss who already has a great fan base, good facilities, and very good recruiting. If you can't win at Ole Miss in baseball, I don't expect the advantages at LSU to put you over the top. I do expect those advantages to put you over the top if you're coming from Louisville or East Carolina, however, and you've already had great success at those lesser resource places.
