Recruiting is a Huge factor IMO..I do not know for sure but in college baseball can;t players switch school rather easily? I do not think they have the sit out rles like in football. I know they have to wait 3 years before leaving to MLB but i think they can go to a different school each of those three years if they want to. So that would mean that you not only have to recruit new players but also rre recruit the current players each year. I might be completly off base there, but I thought that was how it worjed in college baseball. That makes a great recruiter a top priority in a coach, especially at a "northern" baseball program.
