It stings losing two top 10 recruits in a class like this but I'm by no means devestated. MD basketball's outlook and recruiting is on the rise. Now, you move onto what are likely two multi year top 40 players in Peters, Jordan,etc.

I said the same thing to a MD friend after the announcement. We will continue to improve and chalk another steal for the recruiting guru known as John Calipari. How does he do it? I guess some day he will write a book and tell us how he did it........or rather...share the secrets of his success.

Simple he prepares his players for the NBA. He brings out the best in each and everyone of his players and provides a environment for these young men to grow.

You cannot argue with his success for preparing players for the NBA.

I hear this argument all the time, and I'm sorry, it's very silly.

He gets players to the NBA because he brings in the best recruits. Most of these guys would have went straight to the NBA if not for the age limit requirement. It's not because he's some great developer of players.

I do give him credit for getting his players to play hard for him while they're there.

It is true that he gets the best recruiters, but you don't have any idea how he does in developing players. You ever watch him at practices? You ever see him work with kids in the off-season in individual development. He is very good at developing talent.

How do you know? What is the evidence? The effect does not automatically corrolate to the cause. Bringing in a guy who would be a Top 5 draft pick before entering your program, and still having him be a Top 5 draft pick after he spends a year in your program, does not mean you are a great developer of talent.

I have no doubt he works very hard for his players, and I do believe he legitimately cares about them.

I am a high school coach. I have seen him speak at clinics. I have seen his coaching DVDs. You can say "corrolate to the cause" but I have seen his ability as a coach. Watch a Kentucky All-Access practice and tell me he can't develop talent. I am sorry the man can coach.

I'm not saying he can't coach. You don't accomplish what he's accomplished without being able to coach.

All of these guys look good in drills/clinics, because they all are good. Watch a MD all-access practice and you'll see the same thing about Turgeon. A good friend of mine is a HS coach, and one of the guys he was always most impressed with and tried to model his style after was Kelvin Sampson. It's all pretty meaningless.

I think you are overstating what you think I'm saying. Not saying he's a bad coach. I'm saying this notion that he puts players in the NBA is ridiculous. He doesn't. John Wall could have went to New Mexico State, and he would've been the #1 pick.

      Hopefully cionel Perez is back in the not too distant future as well, though with obliques you never know. I imagine Baumann would be the next one in line for a dfa.    I’d hope we’d dfa Ramirez before optioning two arms throwing better than Ramirez in Akin and Tate.    I can’t really see means going to the bp….his stuff isn’t especially suited to it. Though if Suarez is pitching THIS well you can’t move him to the pen either. Good problem to have, as you said.

      They definitely have the ammo to come back up into the first if someone is sitting there that they want.  I do think a tackle is a priority before camp starts one way or another.

      2024 Bowie Baysox

      By Frobby · Posted

      The Baysox are off to a 9-6 start mostly due to their bats, which lead the Eastern League with an .819 OPS and 5.87 runs per game.  They have no fewer than 7 players with an .800+ OPS: Bencosme (1.026), Bowen (.989), Beavers (.972), Fabian (.969), Pavalony (.919), Cook (.815) and Ardoin (.805).    The pitching has been unremarkable so far.   The highlight has been Kyle Brnovich, who’s sporting a 2.08 ERA, 0.923 WHIP, and 10.4 K/9 in three starts.  Brnovich had reached AAA before his TJ surgery in mid-2022, so I expect he’ll get promoted before long if he remains effective for Bowie.

      You don’t downgrade Mayo because of the defense? Or do you think that the plus arm will allow him to play in RF?

      Austin Hays 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      I'd handicap it differently, even though Austin hit the ball more solidly the last week. After his 10-day stint on IL, I think there is perhaps a 85% chance he goes on rehab with the residual chance due to a gaping hole in the Orioles lineup/bench which has been exposed. Assuming he goes on some form of rehab assignment, there are at least 3 groups I'd offer as qualitatively different outcomes: 1. He goes on rehab for 5 days or less and either a hole/spot develops or he starts hitting right away 2. He goes on rehab for between 6 and 20 days (max rehab time for a position player) and the Orioles use much more, if not all of the shot clock before making a decision.  It could be a matter of Hays not hitting particularly well in the minors or the Orioles playing well with everyone healthy. 3. The club reaches the end of 20 days and uses the remaining option on Hays to leave him there because the O's don't have room given the set of quality OF/DH/1B they have and don't have an easy roster move to make.  The Orioles may be forced to trade him if this occurs, but I would not be shocked if he returns when an injury opens up a spot. Please let me know if you can think of any other possibilities that are not subsets of these 3 outcomes. If I am handicapping the 3 options, I'd say it's: Return to the big leagues immediately after 10 days: 15% Short rehab assignment (option 1): 50% Long rehab assignment (option 2): 25% Optioned after rehab (option 3): 10% Effectively, the Orioles will have already optioned Hays to the minors for a reset with option 2, but under the guise of the injury.   I'd like to hear from as many other posters as would care to handicap these 4 outcomes.  Simply post your percentages for each of the 4.

      I don’t know what Friedman or Stearns make. But I’m sure that will be the comp used by his agent. And whatever that number is I’m sure Rubenstein will work off of that to ensure that he stays running the Orioles for a long time.
