Message: [QUOTE="Omahabound, post: 5060780, member: 12923"] This is all very very confusing from a fan’s perspective as to the direction of the baseball program as a whole. I think the NIL fundraising is a necessity but again if these dollars are going to retention based on eligibility, then why wasn’t Quinn locked up last summer. That could be the piece that was in place that’ll have to be replaced( again) and hope the development program bears the fruit to get them to Omaha! They need 2-3 years minimum with these guys to fully benefit collectively as a program. I recognize it’s money but if the plan isn’t 3 years then how will the talent that’s currently being rostered be experienced or talented enough, all at the same time? It’s a tough ask. Another season of overachieving. The difference against FSU was merely 3 top picks and some home field advantage both thru the fans and the weather. One bad pitch from Quinn and perhaps it’s a winner-take-all game 3 for a chance at Omaha. Not bad. This is why planning on retaining guys like Quinn for that extra season seem necessary. Now the search begins for another one year Fogell or Poulin. Having gotten 2 full productive years out of those guys instead of the one great season, is the equalizer. Quinn back, would have been ideal. [/QUOTE]
