Men UConn Baseball 2024

I think Oregon beat UConn in that regional held at Dodd Stadium. Twice as a matter of fact. Nonetheless I agree with the rest of your argument.

My bad.

 

[ahmed69]

Not only was your original post ridiculous, this post is inaccurate.

Oregon has been to one CWS, 3 Super Regionals with a total of 11 tournament appearances.

UConn has been to 5 CWS, 3 Super Regionals with a total of 25 tournament appearances.

Also in 2010, UConn and Oregon were in the same regional with UConn winning it.

So your argument about Oregon vs UConn is also wrong.

I really hoping you were trolling, because if you are serious it would be very sad

If you follow this board, you will find that I am almost never critical of other posters. But I had to respond to your absurd take.

Now do oregon st, I confused the two, but the idea is the same. Oregon st doesn't even have good academics

Resources are not the same. OSU has budgeted $1MM+ per season for head coaches in the past, which is like triple what Penders gets. This is actually a good case study though because it will be interesting to see what happens to OSU the next few years as they seem to be currently left out of the power conference shuffle and those resources may dry up some as a result.

Ironically, if Penders were suddenly fired or unavailable as Uconns head coach, the best candidate available would probably be coach Mac.

That’s an advantage for them. Schools with extremely high academics are at a disadvantage recruiting wise. Vanderbilt and the Wayne Graham led Rice Owls are the two notable exceptions (and hey, look at what happened to Rice when they inexplicably forced Graham into an early retirement!!)

Just opening this thread for the first time in a few days and oh boy, what a doozy that take was...

Objectively, UConn is a top 30ish program with a top 60ish budget (not accounting for NIL) if you look at yearly RPi. Bump them higher if you look at Super appearances recently. That’s pretty great even not factoring in weather, the conference, etc.

Factoring in NIL, there is the SEC and everyone else. SEC baseball dominance is making their football dominance look cute by comparison. It is an absolute parallel minus the B10 being competitive in the sport. The good ACC teams are working their tails off to compete, including finding NIL. B12 will take a hit with UT & OU gone.
One name on who SEC teams can buy with their multimillion dollar NIL budgets: Paul Skenes.
UConn Baseball is downright killing it in this environment.

I agree. What they do up here in the Northeast is incredible. Getting closer and closer. Just a matter of time before they get there.

IMPRESSIVE RUN!!

 

[huskymedic]

This is the write-up that went w/ the ranking:

-> 14. UConn​

Previous ranking: NR
Weekend record: 9-4
NCAA Tournament: 3-3, eliminated in super regionals

UConn won the Big East for the fourth straight year since returning to the conference. The Huskies went to the Norman Regional and took down host Oklahoma, beating the Sooners twice to advance to super regionals for the second time in three years. UConn was swept at Florida State, but this season further established the Huskies as the preeminent program in the Northeast. <-

You make your bones in the postseason. From a bubble team to the Top 20.
Many programs would kill for UConn’s recent outperformance of expectations in the tourney.
What a great ride this year!

Garrett and Korey made themselves into great baseball players. Got better every year. Hope they get a shot in pro ball.

Garrett recently signed with the Lake Erie Crushers of the Frontier League (independent ball).
