Baseball is the hardest sport to truly project, especially with pitchers. I'm not calling out 18-22 year olds by name, but we've had several top 5 and top 10 pitchers in the state come out of high school and do next to nothing for Ohio. Mixture of coaching, injuries, "college" and just being overrated plays into that. It looks good on paper with all these guys dominating their local HS leagues, but it's really hard to tell how good or bad the class is without more unified rating systems like football and basketball.

Really nice to see a very broad recruiting spectrum.  IThere is good talent in Ohio and PA, but we should be able to beat just about every MAC school in recruiting with our facilities, athletic personnel, and campus life.  Been to a lot of colleges in the past years and I may be partial, but Ohio University is still extremely hard to beat in my opinion.  Hats off to the coaching staff for putting in the work to recruit a wide range of locations.

Huh? Yourself.  My intent was that I trust the way our coaches rate the kids they recruited not some outside rating service.  Seeing how things play out is true in all college sports.  The jury is always out.  As a side note, if you have a staff the can not project the type of player that will fit into their system and be productive during the recruiting process, you probably have the wrong staff.  I don't think we have the wrong staff.
