1. plainsman is known as a hitter's park, right? So, elite hs pitcher prospects must be aware of this. Stands to reason that if they had their druthers (whatever that means. Only ever heard my granddaddy and Bebes use it) they'd prefer a bigger park.
BUT, butch supposedly lets the pitchers call their pitches. All of them? I dunno. But if so, I'm taking a hard look at AU if I'm an elite pitcher.
Trouble is, if it works well and we start lining up All-American pitchers, everyone else will start doing it.
Point is, it's going to take some time. I don't keep up with recruiting much but I hear we've got some good prospects.
I don't see Thompson like with Pearl in basketball. I think most of us agree that if Pearl doesn't make us more competitive that we should just give basketball up.
Thompson isn't as proven but he's known to be a good recruiter. And solid coach. Yet, he's learning as a HC too.
I still think he was a good choice. Next season should tell us a lot.
