I have the highest regard for Coaches Bakich and Schnabel.
I am unclear on what you are seeking, though. What information would you like?
Bakich is part of the Jack Leggett (Clemson) coaching tree. He left with Tim Corbin to be an assistant at Vanderbilt. While at Vanderbilt he was one of the top recruiting coaches in the country. It led to a head coaching job at Maryland. He only stayed at Maryland two years. Bakich is young (30's), from the ACC and SEC and on a fast track. I doubt Michigan will be his last destination. I believe he'll be gone as soon as the right ACC or SEC position becomes available.

Curious as to your thoughts on the odds of him building Michigan to a contender in the B10 before he'd go? After being just above .500 (59-56) in two seasons with uppers he didn't recruit I'd be thinking this season should be big for him to move the program with guys he brought in. I would think bigger baseball schools would want to see that progression too. Or better yet he could be like D'Antonio (MSU Football) and just build a national contender and stay for a while!!??
MI. was binvolved at looking at my guy for well over a year.he went there game,tour,meeting some of the players.one of the assnts. even came to a couple of travel teams practice and came to one of his starts with school ball.haven't heard from any of them since the last practice.Can't figure.
Sons team played Michigan at Mets spring training complex earlier this year. MI seemed to be very well coached, focused on fundamentals and aggressive. Looked very disciplined. Big + is that they seem to have the resources with the Wilpon's and Michigan's commitment to athletics. Not sure how they will fare long term in Big 10. Indiana and Nebraska seem to be very solid, but rest seem to be dealing with challenges of all northern schools. Time will tell.

Don't forget about Maryland joining the B1G this year. I expect them to be in the mix.
Good point--forgot of Maryland. Very solid.
