    Ark is too small of a state.  I would expect only about 25% from Ark.  heck the university is barely half arkansas based students.

    Pierce needs to make sure they are only getting his leftovers

    Go look at the the 2016 and 2017 recruiting classes. He's done the best he can to salvage a rough roster he inherited. Not many teams have much depth behind their top two catchers.  What JUCO is going to want to come in to play catcher with a solid starter and established backup already in place at his position?

    It's not realistic to just say "go get a JUCO." That's not how it works. You have to have a glaring need at the position, which we didn't have at the time JUCOs were committing in the 2018 class. 

    McCann has stepped up his hitting this year but based on 2017 and 2018 I would not label him an established backup.  I think he should have added a sophomore JC catcher and sell him on the fact that the job is open and that the other catchers at 1 and 2 are seniors.  I know hindsight is 20/20 but what was his plan for 2020?

    Getting 0 starts from your expected starters at the 2 most important defensive positions on the field combined with having terrible depth behind them due to the coaching change is a rough hand to be dealt. 

    How can you blame this on the coaching change?  Hamilton is in his 3rd season and he had 1 true catcher that he brought in last year from JC.  Pierce should have fixed these gaps with JC players in the 2018 class just like he did in the 2017 class.

    Well with only 11.7 Scholarships to pass out I would guess about half of our team is. This isn't football so being a walk on is a different deal.

    NCAA rules are minimum of 25 and a max of 27 on scholarship.

    I just finished S7 and I missed a few things.

    - I forgot Cersei and Euron's secret plot to hire the Golden Company and 20,000 soldiers + elephants using Iron Bank gold. It doesn't make sense to me, since the loot train from Highgarden got attacked by Dany and maybe that's why I had forgotten it. Maybe someone can explain that one for me.

    - I forgot about the Nymeria scene. I imagine she and Ghost will have a role to play in S8. 

    - I forgot Tormund and Dolorous Edd were at Eastwatch when the Wall came down. It didn't show if they survived.

    - Concerning Dorne, Ellaria Sand is possibly still alive in the dungeons of King's Landing with the corpse of Tyene. Gross. Maybe we see her again.

    They got the gold wagons into Kings  landing before the dragon attack. The crops were in the wagons that were torched

    Damn, that might end up hurting us worse than losing Hamilton.

    Pierce should have picked up a sophomore JC catcher for this season.  I think he signed 3 high school catchers in the 2019 class.  It is going to be interesting  next year with 1 sophomore and 3 freshmen.
