TNET: Monte Lee thinks says his team motivated for a trip to Omaha

Monte Lee thinks says his team motivated for a trip to Omaha

For Clemson baseball head coach Monte Lee and his team, they did not end their 2019 season the way that they had hoped to. The Tigers once again exited the NCAA tournament in the regional round, this time in Oxford. In the three seasons prior to 2019, Lee led the Tigers to host the regional round in Clemson but fell short of making it to the Super Regionals all three years. Full Story »

what does this headline mean?

he "thinks says his team"

which is it. He says, or he thinks? ;)

I believe it means that he thinks he said his team is motivated but he can't remember exactly because there have been a lot of interviews and he doesn't remember who he told what.

This article actually doesn’t sound very promising. Sounds like the team is super young and lacks experience. That doesn’t bode well for a program looking to make a lot of noise in the postseason. Not trying to be negative. And maybe I read the article wrong. I hope I did.

You are describing the team accurately but I think it does sound like a positive thing.

I think new guys sounds better than saying "a lot of guys return" since we weren't very happy with the performance last season.

It's like when a bad football team celebrates having lots of returning starters. If a team isn't happy about their players at the end of the previous season, why are they all of a sudden so happy with them to start the next season.

I think a lot of the optimism comes from getting the two pitchers back from injury. Returning two of your top arms has a trickle down effect that makes all of the other pitchers' jobs easier as well.

I hope that's what the results show for the season anyway.

Re: ¿Qué?

Nope.

He described the team as "super young and lacks experience".

The is a pretty accurate description. Almost everybody on the roster is either young or hasn't gotten much PT.

What I disagreed with is the fact that it doesn't sound promising.

I think the turnover and new faces could be a good things because we weren't happy with the product we got last season.

Of course, with a new team it may not work out because they may be new faces that produce the same product but at least there is some suspense to it.

Third Year Now? We will find out how good a recruiter he really is this year!

Lecroy has to take some blame as well, he's the recruiting coordinator. That being said, Clemson is not playing on an even playing field with some of the other big time programs. I spoke with a scout a few weeks ago that works the Southeast and he went on regarding the disadvantage Clemson has going trying to offer good out of state prospects as opposed to other programs in neighboring states and the Gamecocks as well.

Clemson at a disadvantage? Come on now that’s ridiculous. They have an experienced coaching staff. Very good history. An unbelievable stadium and practice facilities. Favorable travel. And they are in arguably the best baseball conference in America. There is definitely no disadvantage.

Yea except for in the only area that matters which is "how much does it cost for their players to go to school?"

Clemson did away with the out of state tuition exemption policy. It allowed certain out of state students to pay in state tuition. It was a small to out of state recruiting for sports who have to give partial scholarships.

Clemson is also not able to give endowment scholarships like Vandy, UVA, and other schools who hand out scholarships to anyone they wish with little to no standards for acceptance for the scholarship.

11.7 scholarships doesn't go very far on a 35 man roster. That means our players are paying a ton out of pocket unless they are extremely intelligent and receive lots of academic aide on top of their athletic partial scholarship.

The playing field is not even in college baseball in terms of scholarships awarded at different schools.

Those that don't know, truly don't know.

Well said and well debated the last two seasons. Monte is a great coach. He proved what he could do at little bro. Only difference was at little bro, he coached top 5 talent. Here at Clemson, he's having to coach top 25 talent. Makes a difference and a little luck that you hit on every scholly and withstand injuries.... Especially pitching.

I've watched a good talent here at Gilbert that really wanted to go to Clemson but coastal offered him a partial scholly as did the citadel. Tigers just didn't have the $$$.

Ashamed really. With all that, I still think they'll kick it this year.

As the new season begins hope is enternal-- I hope you make it.

Call me pessimistic, but...


Jan 31, 2020, 3:19 PM

How can you:
- Lose your best pitcher to injury (which killed us last year),
- Lose your best hitter off the team from prior year,
- Not make the Super Regional 3 years in a row,
- Only have 2 returning starters, who have played a full season,
- have a VERY unproven group, yet.....

....talk about how motivated the team is for a run to Omaha? What in the actual chit is that?

How about host a regional and make it to the Supers Regional for once.
