Agree on the jucos. This state is loaded with quality talent and two of the programs are usually in the top 20 every year.
IMO, CDS came in a lot like Butch, even though he had coached here under Delmonico for a couple years. His way was proven in Cali and even Delmonico was more of a small ball guy as well. There was nobody in the UTAD to guide him any differently even if he would have listened. He underestimated how big baseball had become and grown in the SEC overall. He was also promised a major upgrade in facilities that never really materialized. Now he's used up his goodwill, even more so than Butch.
UT needs to honor the commitment on the facilities and to baseball in general. He is now recruiting and signing some really good future pro ball quality local talent. He has Simcox fixing the run production issue. They have a hot local product in Senzel in the Reds org that should hit the bigs by 2018 at 3B that they can sell to recruits. UT needs to be a go to option for local kids and in-state jucos so they can showcase the deep talent pool we have. If the team makes a good move upward this season they need to extend him a couple of years IMO. If not, with the talent he is working with on that roster, it will be time to change.
