Just because we didn't bring anyone in doesn't mean we didn't try.
We certainly expected to have Stewart and McCoy.
Not complaining about Earley. But, the good to great coaches don't try to bring someone in. They get someone in. Earley may get there eventually.
No offense, but that is one of the more idiotic statements ever. Especially in the NIL era. Your assumption is the "great" coaches just sit in the office not even picking up a phone and magically talent walks in the door.
You aren't very intelligent are you. In the NIL era the good to great coaches find the pitcher or pitchers that will help them and sick their NIL guys on them. As an above average coach you know who and what you can afford and who you can beat NIL wise to secure them. With the position players, we seem to excel at this. Pitching wise, not so much this year.
I have a feeling you're in the same crowd that likes to forget last year Grahovac and Sorrell were injured.
With what any coach would have expected we'd get out of McCoy and Stewart this year. And also no one expecting Sdao to be our worst starter there wasn't a giant glaring portal need. Yet we still went and got Darden who has a winning career record as a 3 year starter at Clemson. What we expected would be some of
Our biggest contributors on our pitching staff either are out for the year or collapsed. No coach looks at the portal planning for any of that to happen.
