I'm pretty sure he was told to apply for other positions...not making the conference tourney is a big "no-no" when we should legitimately be in regionals every year.

Based on what?

The fantasy that we get our pick of the vast baseball talent in the state of Florida?

There is plenty of baseball talent to go around in Florida...tons of kids playing at JUCO and D-2 in the State that would be starting on many other D-1 teams in other states but weren't sufficiently scouted.

Agree with this. Too many good players to scout.

So just curious...in your opinion what are we doing wrong? Because this team is terrible.

Coach Jerolman in attendance at Dunnelon v. Jesuit Regional Final tonight.  I presume he is "scouting"

I'm interested in this answer, also.  A lot of people have attributed the performance to many things.

Terrible?   They made it to the NCAA tournament 3 of 4 years prior to this one.  This year they were a game under .500.   They lost 5 guys to the MLB draft including their top 3 pitchers and probably top 2 hitters.   They lost a top returning hitter to injury and 3 pitchers that were expected to contribute to injury as well.   We are not FSU or UF.  I don't think we are going to be able to reload like they do especially with that kind of turnover.  We are going to have down years.  It was a down year, definitely worse than most anticipated and probably should have been, but the team isn't terrible and there is some talent returning.  Our top 2 pitchers comeback this time around and they looked pretty good down the stretch.   Need some hitters to emerge, but there are some guys to be excited about.

Wonder if Cates' leaving paves the way to bring in that pitching coach.  Jerolman brothers kind of replicate what Cates brings to the table from a baseball standpoint.   Curious if his future endeavors involves coaching at another school or if there is some other avenue he is going to pursue.

Cates will be announcing something soon per a source...he left on his own.  Not convinced of anything with this staff, especially the Jeroloman brothers.
