If we had just a few on the team would it be hard for admissions to vet those few?

This is why I keep repeating that it isn’t a baseball issue. Of course it wouldn’t be hard, but Wake isn’t going to allow JuCos for baseball only. They will have to allow them for all sports and into the general student population. So it isn’t just a few players. It’s hundreds of potential applicants.
I wonder if Vandy has them on other their other teams.

Didn't he and Wellman have an old relationship in Wellman's coaching days?
I don't claim to know how it's affected recruiting at this point but I can tell you first hand that it's more than just an interest piece. I don't know what other collegiate baseball programs have as far as pitching labs, but it really is high tech stuff and could benefit a young pitcher who has the tools but needs to be refined. I have been in the lab many times and have seen what it's capable of (through travel/showcase baseball).
maybe the fancy new machine will get us some fancy new recruits but how did it translate into wins and losses for the 2019 season? seems to me like it was the same old results wasn't it. Maybe the fancy equipment makes you overthink the position of see ball, grip ball, throw ball at edge of strike zone

Wow! That looks gorgeous!
Wait....why was the original FieldTurf replaced so soon ?
It has been mentioned many time already that the "fancy new machine" wasn't really used last year. The pitching coach change happened in late in the process and nobody really knew (or had time to figure out) how to use it. I would hope that a year plus later and that is no longer the case.
It’s been the playing surface since 2011. It was starting to get worn about around the bases and at the plate. Even the outfield was starting to ware. It’s really hard to field balls when they’re coming at you so fast. That turf wasn’t slowing down anything. The new turf is supposed to play like real grass. It looks nice, hopefully it feels nice for the players on it.
When I was a junior ('78/'79) we had 2 new guys in our suite who were both juniors: one from Mt. Olive and one from Wingate. Pretty sure Mt. Olive was 2 yr school and Wingate had been but was transitioning. Neither played a sport.
