Gino

[Mark Little]

The bar for this program is much higher than that, and if Gino keeps things where they are today, we'll see more of the same. That's all I'm saying.

You're not saying anything here.

We have high standards. We know that.

"Today" we have a good roster. We went through roster purgatory inn 2017 yet some people can't see more than a foot in front of them.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

It's not vague. I laid it all out.

It seems that you're just one of those "I only care about yesterday" guys with no perspective.

“Yesterday” has lasted for two years.

What does Gino need to do to avoid roster purgatory happening again, since roster purgatory happened on his watch.

 

[Mark Little]

3) Most importantly - I think we need to find players in recruiting that are more hard-nosed and get the job done no matter how it looks.

This is an embarrassingly silly statement.

And an empty cliche.

 

[Mark Little]

Keep going Lil Marko...where are we at now? Today?

We have a very good roster.

But you're still talking about years ago or the last season under a different head coach.

That's because I don't think you actually know anything.

 

[Mark Little]

I'm glad we did what we did in those CWS years. Great/fine/wonderful. But where are we at today? The past 2 years?

Yeah, man, you seem really glad about that.

Actually, you sound like the kind of people who were whining even then.

YES!!!! Now it’s because of a “different head coach”. I love it.

 

[Mark Little]

You're still ignoring that like it didn't happen and we're just a few weeks removed from 2 straight years of no postseason.

No, I just have a longer memory and frame of reference than people like you who only pretend to follow things closely.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Yeah, man, you seem really glad about that.

Actually, you sound like the kind of people who were whining even then.

And you’re still cheering about those seasons under “a different head coach”. We’re talking about Gino now.

 

[Mark Little]

We're not where we should be.

Breaking news.

BWCD is a genius.

He's saying mind-blowing things that nobody has ever said before.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

“Look at what Gino did to build 2015-16”

What about the last two years?

“Oh, you’re talking about a different head coach”

LOVE IT.

 

[Mark Little]

I love how he is giving credit to Gino for recruiting those 2012/2013 studs. Collins, Abreu, and David Thompson would have all come here no matter who the hitting coach/recruiting coordinator was.

I love the pretzels that people twist themselves into in order to stick with their preconceived notions.

So the staff gets attacked for bad recruiting. But when it's good, it doesn't matter man! Those good players would've come anyway!

It's impossible to reason with people like that.

 

[Mark Little]

The floor of this program should be hosting a regional.

So we should never (not even one season) be less than top 16?

Despite the fact that no program has done that in the history of the sport.

Yeah, we're dealing with reasonable people here. Definitely.

Yes, the staff gets attacked for bad recruiting. The recruiting coordinator gets attacked for bad recruiting. Not that hard to understand.

 

[Mark Little]

As usual, “LOOK AT 2015-16” as though the last two years didn’t happen.

Which is not true.

 

[Mark Little]

Then don’t use the word culminate if you don’t know what it means. Programs like Miami aren’t ever supposed to “culminate”.

Strawmen and then nitpicky nonsense.

 

[Mark Little]

Since we’re recruiting so well right now, when do you see the next decline happening? After all, 2017-18 happened because we were SO loaded in 2015-16, right? So which upcoming class is forced to be small because of limited scholarship money?

I can't predict the future but hopefully we won't be relying so much on just one (or two classes).

 

[Mark Little]

What should change in the future to avoid 2015-16 happening again?

Nothing since I think a lot of roster management is left to circumstance (like injuries, transfers and players bailing before school starts).

You've officially exhausted your bot vocabulary and are now repeating things because you've got nothing left to say.

No, you're just not understanding the context.
