David Thompson impact

[baseballnerd22]

Just read this: UM baseball has 21 wins and 14 losses. Thompson's has played in 23 games and now relegated to the DH role due to a bad shoulder the past dozen or so games. Even so, with Thompson playing, we have a .696 winning percentage (16 wins vs 7 losses). When Thompson is not playing, we have a .364 winning percentage (4 wins vs 7 losses). I will also add that even though he has missed 12 games now, he still leads the team in RBI, slugging, and HR's.

 

[Oh Snap]

In other words, he's really ******* good.

Wow. Yep

It is really two things.
Yes, he's really good.

Second point is that alot of his teammates aren't good at all.
It's really embarassing some of the players wearing that uniform these days.

We don't know how good he is because he's been banged up. From what I've seen, he's probably very good. What we do know is that most of his teammates shouldn't even be on an ACC roster.

His shoulder is inflamed. Had an MRI, which came back negative. Didn't hear when he'd be back, just a slow comeback. Not addl surgery.

I never go that route. The guys we got are who our coaches wanted and its not like we arent winning due to a lack of effort on their part

The embarrassment is Morris and J.D. running this program down

IMO the issue, aside from the coaching point, is Miami is a very, very expensive school to attend. You cannot expect kids to come to Miami on a 1/4 scholarship when they can go to a number of schools and get a full ride and play high quality baseball.

Didnt stop Yonder, Weeks, Raben, Sobo, Tekotte, Grandal etc from becoming Hurricanes

A much bigger issue is Morris recruiting a bunch of high draft picks that are never going to step foot on campus

True, but it does not change the fact that some kids simply cannot afford to go to Miami.
There is a current player FSU, a Freshman, that loved Miami and was offered a scholarship but chose to go to FSU because his parents couldn't afford the additional costs. Point is the pool to chose from is small.

I will agree about the expense and all but the above is first, second, and third on our problems. The recruiting classes are always ranked very high, till it comes time for said recruiting class to register for their classes.
