2020dad posted:D Mac my take on what people are talking about is more the average player on a roster or even more so lower roster kids. And yes it makes sense. Why take an out of stater for your 28th roster spot?? Doesn't make sense. Both from a financial and home sick standpoint. I think we all agree if a kid is throwing 95 he can go wherever he wants and nobody will care if he is out of state.
In state kid, sure. Local Southern kid? No way. Do you think Arkansas alumni/adminstrators are going to put pressure on a coach to take a kid from Texas over a kid from New Jersey? That’s what I was replying to. Every baseball program is going to have a base of in state kids. The rest are going to be comprised of kids who can help the program win regardless of where they live. I’m referring to the Southern programs that recruit nationally.
