Two points:
1) I had an experienced left fielder attempt to throw the ball to 1st base yesterday.
2) You will never build a fence or a wall around North Carolina on recruiting.
The first point is a reflection of coaching. Despite all the practice and all the instruction at a critical point in the game my left fielder went off the reservation. Somewhere I failed to instill a basic mental toughness and situational decorum so despite having a good team with talent my boys play right at the level of their competition.
The second point concerns the excess number of D-1 programs, the numerous fan bases, the presence of very good other revenue sports (basketball), and the fact that other states that come here to recruit lack all of the aforementioned items.
