Due to scholarship limitations and cost of tuition, Tulane will never have pitching depth. Can’t supplement the schollie guys with walk ons to develop so when schollie guys don’t work out they are doomed to avg to below avg pitching staff. Good schollie guys’ parents also don’t want to pay for remainder of tuition because noonebon full schollie.
Tulane pitching blows up again,UNO wins Game 2 15-10

Only 27 players on the 35 man roster can be on scholarship. I’m sure that’s the reason some of those new pitchers like JC Ariza were cut in the fall.tpstulane wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 8:54 pmMy guess would be a tuition/money thing caused the roster spot shake ups.express wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 8:10 pmActually HC was a recruiter at Vandy (and our current recruiter was a JC coach in WA).

They reduced Solesky’s scholarship after his freshman season. They may have done the same to Massey by now.mbawavefan12 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 8:28 pmI’d imagine Massey has a large scholarship.express wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 8:10 pmActually HC was a recruiter at Vandy (and our current recruiter was a JC coach in WA).

Jaxwave has a habit of absolving coaches of any and all blame because things are tougher on an expensive private school. It’s infuriating, until 2017 we rarely had problems with pitching.
Coaches can’t be fully absolved but to Jax’s defense you do have less margin for error at a high dollar private like Tulane.Profoundwizard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 1:47 am Jaxwave has a habit of absolving coaches of any and all blame because things are tougher on an expensive private school.

Michigan, Duke, UVA, Wake, Stanford, Cal , St. John's, Rice, etc. all deal with the same tuition issue. Need to do a better job landing the bright kids who pitch well. Pitchers tend to be high GPA kids anyway in HS so this should not be that hard. Also, can't have a HC telling a local paper "I probably got caught up with the FB velo thing and didn't give said player (a soph doing well the last few games) a fair shake last year" . This was a published comment when talking about one of our pitchers. Goes right to the coaching staff's assessment ability.tpstulane wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 9:38 amCoaches can’t be fully absolved but to Jax’s defense you do have less margin for error at a high dollar private like Tulane.Profoundwizard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 1:47 am Jaxwave has a habit of absolving coaches of any and all blame because things are tougher on an expensive private school.

I know a lot of people that pitched at eh college level. Most were not high GPA guys. I have no idea where you came up with that thought.

I don't want to be net picky, but Michigan, UVA, and Cal do not face the same tuition issues we have with our athletes since they are all public universities.express wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 3:22 pmMichigan, Duke, UVA, Wake, Stanford, Cal , St. John's, Rice, etc. all deal with the same tuition issue.

And Stanford and Rice have 100% need based aid at much higher income threshold so baseball scholarships can saved for out of state kids.GreenPuddleSplash wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 4:56 pmI don't want to be net picky, but Michigan, UVA, and Cal do not face the same tuition issues we have with our athletes since they are all public universities.express wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 3:22 pmMichigan, Duke, UVA, Wake, Stanford, Cal , St. John's, Rice, etc. all deal with the same tuition issue.

If the game was in Springfeld, did they get to vist the original "Bass Pro" and then make a quick trip to Branson ?

We all know the challenges.

Michigan and UVA are state schools, what is you're point bringing them into the conversation? They don't have nearly the tuition issues Tulane does. St. Johns is a fraction of the cost of Tulane. You blew your argument up by citing the wrong programs.express wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 3:22 pmMichigan, Duke, UVA, Wake, Stanford, Cal , St. John's, Rice, etc. all deal with the same tuition issue.
