Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 5029829, member: 2504"] Being someone who has followed UConn baseball pretty closely since 2010, I have always gone on the assumption that Coach Penders and his coaching staff knows what it is doing, especially considering that UConn baseball has been pretty regular at making the NCAA Tourney since I started really following the team. While I certainly don't mind the team bringing in transfers with college baseball experience from many different levels, I have to admit that I have always viewed the freshman class as providing a good floor for team development. Of course, this season freshman contributions during this season were pretty small aside from Tyler Minick and Ben Schild (prior to his injury). However, I certainly understand what Coach Penders is saying when he says he doesn't want to recruit guys he'll eventually have to cut. Still, I have always thought quality freshman provide a good floor for the team. Even so, Coach Penders and company have showed they know what they are doing in terms of building a team that is competitive year in and year out. [/QUOTE]
