New AD- Dr. Michael Cross

Not so fast here amckillip. Elvis has brought in one of the best recruiting classes ever so I think it is fair to give him 5 years before deciding if he is a failure. Remember, some great coaches got their start elsewhere and never became successful until they found the right "home" (Coach K, Knight, Tubby, and others for example). Let's hope this happens here and Elvis puts BU back on the national radar.


Baseball recruiting classes are mainly based on questionaires filled out by coaches. It is not like basketball or football where services track where all the 5 star or blue chip recruits land. The majority of the Northern schools file the forms in the recycle bin and dont respond. Some coaches want the hype some dont but most dont care. It sounds like we turned in a glowing report. Schools from the PAC 10, SEC, and ACC will always dominate recruiting class rankings even if they don't do well during the regular season.

Many of those great coaches became successful at a new school because the new school gave them alot of benefits and resources the previous coach never had. Glasser, not KK, has brought her friend here and gave him resources that the old coach did not have. Sounds like Bradley is now even with the Valley average except for Wichita. Bradley was way behind before she got here so its about time. With the resources and benefits now available to the new coach we will see if he turns into a great coach. For every Coach K, Tubby, and Knight you have a Weis, Sampson, or Zook.
