Man, that's pretty harsh. I hope JMU won't let a bad situation linger like they've done in the past at times, but I think you've got to give the guy a full recruiting cycle to develop some pitchers. From everything I've read, he's well regarded out in the hinterlands, so I'm still cautiously optimistic that we'll see a nice turnaround in the next couple of years. I guess the red flag to me will be if he doesn't appear to be out recruiting the middle-of the-pack CAA teams after a few years. I'm not able to judge that, but I imagine there are some others on here that can.

Giving him a "full cycle" as you describe is exactly what could/ likely will result in a "bad situation lingering."
