While I agree that the last coach caused the downfall of the program to say that JMU can recruit against any program is a stretch at best. That is not to say that we can't recruit effectively, but unfortunately we are not going to be stealing pitching recruits from UVA anytime soon.

Personally, I would give Ike two more years to see what he can do.

There was a time we played UVA even up. Since UVA hired their current coach, and JMU continued with Spanky, that situation/level of competitiveness with UVA has dramatically changed. But to put this into perspective, would you say JMU softball can't recruit against UVA or VT?

Of course JMU softball can recruit against UVA, and there was a time the same could be said of baseball. It can be done again, if JMU has the right HC.
