Message: [QUOTE="Omahabound, post: 4935528, member: 12923"] Gotta win the BE. Whatever comes of the season, u can’t change ur roster now anyways…I think the yearly grad transfer influx while developing talent with “potential “ of elite play, in time, is showing its flaws and unsustainable path. Either high end HS recruiting or rosters being built by grad transfers and portal with a few projects in the program ( Im not saying “projects” as a slight) would be needed. As the term has been referred to on The Boneyard, Pendersball can’t really be played correctly with 1 year guys who most likely are not being taught “old school baseball” growing up. The talent is not at the levels to get around that, and if it is, it doesn’t mesh quickly enough with the constant yearly overhaul within the roster. I just don’t think you can take a 22 yr old with a lot of varying college baseball experience and mix them with developmental 18 yr olds with no college experience. Not unless they are ready to get on the field immediately without the learning curve negatively weighing down the team. The frosh will develop into productive players but not at the right time. The 22’ team and how that came together is not realistic to think it can happen regularly. It was a special team for Uconn. Those are difficult to put together because the margin for error/injury/transfer/pro etc etc exist. I’m venting some fandom, that’s all [/QUOTE]
