re: Question: How is Vandy out-recruiting LSU in baseball?

Simply put, a 'Jerrell Powe' type recruit isn't walking through those doors, no matter how good of a recruit one is.

How many of those do think are floating around the baseball recruiting pool?

Top 10 worst post of all time. Just spewing shite out of your arse.

Vandy’s Tim Corbin makes $2.3 million a year and Mainieri only makes $1.2 million a year.

This is not true. Corbin received a 1.2
Million Dollar bonus in 2016 after winning the CWS. That boosted his 2016 income to 2.3 million. He does not get paid a salary of 2.3 Million.

Vandy has to abide by ncaa scholarship rules. They might have more academic money. They have a pitching training and technology center that is MLB level.

In addition Nashville is most likely the best SEC city.

I think you're missing the point. The point being that they don't actually have to abide by NCAA scholarship rules.

Rumor has it that Mainieri never leaves Baton Rouge and won’t go farther than a day’s drive from and back to B.R. to recruit players.

Holy shite

Tim Corbin has made it to Omaha 4 times in 16 years, won 1 natty and is making 2.3 mil. Do you think we’d be happy with these results?


He’s just about the last coach I’d want here.

Better Coach

That's funny. You think the regular requirements apply to athletes

I had three daughters attend Vanderbilt - one was a varsity athlete - and I can assure you that the normal standards do not apply to athletes there.

However, they have higher standards for athletes than most schools. Baseball is one of those sports in which there are plenty of smart kids playing. It's more of a skills sport than a raw talent sport, and that's why Vanderbilt can be good at it. Before they won the baseball championship Vandy had one - yes, ONE - national title, and it was in women's bowling. That is a shockingly bad statistic.

I mean, given the scholarship advantage he has, and the talent he's had over the years, you'd think he'd have vastly outperformed other coaches. Except he hasn't.

Vandy is the only team that is capable of making a Skip like run from the 90's. It would be slightly more difficult, because there are more good teams, but Vandy uses the resources into baseball that could make them THAT much better. Corbin has not consistently got it done though. Vandy had missed out on plenty titles they should have, as well as missed many trips to Omaha they should have made. Anybody thinking Corbin would be head and shoulders above Mainieri is clueless.
