@nycdad posted:Aren't they also known to recruit giant underdeveloped pitchers, redshirt them in the hope of developing them? I know of at least one, but was pre-covid. Kid was about 6'7" skinny as a rail.
If a program brings in a young stud recruit, developing them should be about giving them opportunities to learn, not redshirting on the bench.
Bringing in a lot of future studs to sit it out is like hoarding, you don't want your biggest rival to have them.
