Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4328852, member: 2504"] No question about it, Coach Penders is quite open about the kind of kid he is looking for when it comes to recruiting. Basically a blue collar lunch pail type who is willing to put in the work, and someone who pretty much puts the team first. Also someone who fits with the team ethos that the coaches have built, so to speak. He has talked about this quite a bit in interviews when talking about the new baseball facilities. Coach Penders seemed pretty concerned in these interviews that the bells and whistles of the new facilities would be most attractive to the kind of kids he wasn't looking for, and he felt it was the job of the coaching staff to figure this out and not take in these kids. Penders is certainly into team building, and it would seem even though he lost his starting job this season, Christian Fedko is probably the poster child of the type of player personality the coaching staff wants to bring into the program.
