Add Jose Fernandez to that list of guys that didn't make it to campus. Didn't he go Top 5 or 10 in the draft? A life cut way too short.

14th overall and $2 million bonus.

He passed up going to USF over $2 million bonus?  The F you say.

Where are we going? Do you have an issue with me talking about how good the recruiting class is?

Has the 23rd ranked recruiting class in the nation going into next year. 2 of those recruits are top 100 players, which is tied for 6th amongst teams overall. If we don’t win next year, something is seriously wrong. 

I have no issue

Brad Radke back in the day as well.  There were a few more around that early 90's time period

All goes back to the point, it's not who you get to commit, it's who shows up on campus that counts. I can't give any of our coaches props for getting a guy who's going to go in the draft and sign. We're just his backup/bargaining chip in negotiations. That goes for everyone, not just Mohl.

you can make that sentence bold but it doesn't change the fact that if we have good talent coming in this year and have back to back bad records, that's an issue.  Not saying we won't do well but we still need to be better next season.

And Mohl still hasn't shown he can clean up our persistent fielding issues, or that he can put together a decent and deep pitching rotation.

Yes he has.   2021 conference and regional championships.   2017 and 2018 seasons as well.

We can thank coaching adrenaline, Mark Kingston for 17 & 18. Based on how 22 went, we got hot in 21. Can Mohl get some consistency hot sauce going? I'm not sure.

Kingston isn't a pitching coach.  That's Mohl.   But ultimately what I'm hearing you say is that when we have had success under Mohl it is because of some other factor, but when we don't it is because of Mohl ....
