How many wins vs top 25?...

You got it...

The TD.com poll...

[quote]Apparently the staff takes as much care in recruiting in state pitchers as you do when figuring out where to start a thread.[/quote]Sooo... Not a lot....

"We still get good players." "He was recruited early by them." "They can offer more." That's what I was told when I made a similar thread. Who knows? Maybe he gets drafted and we dodge a bullet....
