Completely agree. O'Sullivan has proven himself to be one of the greats of college baseball. He can't control the injuries, but needs to figure out why some of his players aren't developing like they should. He consistently has a Top 10, usually Top 5, recruiting class and yet this is the second year in a row we're struggling to finish the season above .500.
ehhh, if we're being honest Sully hasn't been much more than a Calipari of baseball with all the talent he's had.. I appreciate how many trips to Omaha we've had, but to have only won one time with the loaded rosters he's had.. It's time for people to start having some real conversations and be tough about how "great" is he actually.
Well, if we're being FACTUAL, Florida's baseball program has been ranked as one of the Top 5 in the nation for a long, long time. And the reason for that is Kevin O'Sullivan. He's gotten us to the CWS 9 times since he came to Gainesville in 2008. We'd only been 5 times in our entire history before that. 6 regular season SEC titles under Sully as well.
Obviously, you know more about college baseball than the experts at D1 Baseball.
Look I appreciate the hell out of what Sully has done for our baseball program long term, but all these things you're saying are right.. and they're constant and never get changed, that's not a good sign of good baseball management.. So we have to simply out talent everyone, cool as long as he keeps getting that talent.. again, VERY john calipari'ish.. the baseball version.
Yep - We have to start somewhere and a sweep against a very weak Missouri team is as good a place as any. We go to Starkville next weekend and right now they're only 4-10 in the SEC with another game tomorrow. But after that we have Arkansas, South Carolina, Texas & Alabama. Going 8-7 down the stretch ain't gonna be easy. But at least now we have a chance to make a run to get back in the hunt for an NCAA bid. Pitching was much better this weekend than it has been in a good while.
