A once proud program. Now in the toilet.

Dan,
So sad. I am in regular contact with two dads who i worked with whose sons were both star outfielders for the Pirates 5 years apart who both got as far as Double A (Cubs and Angels) graduating from Seton Hall in the late 2000s/2010s
The families can't believe how far they have fallen.
This team needs first 1) new coaching and secondly 2) new administration.

Take all the basketball NIL and give it to baseball and we could at least dominate in something.
This has been a difficult situation for some time. It has been a steady decline for many years with some limited success. Some may say the limited resources of the University are to blame. That would only be part of the equation. Actually, the facilities have improved. The weather is the same for all the Northeast Teams and that was never an excuse in the past. The BigEast Conference is not strong in baseball and that hurts recruiting too. We know that the NIL is crushing the Basketball Program. The Baseball Program was not doing well way before the NIL came down the pike. Personally, I believe that the popularity of baseball has declined, and the talent pool is not there. Good players leave the area. In the past some stayed and there was a surplus of recruits filling the void for schools like Seton Hall and SJU. I would say with the highest degree of respect that the Baseball Program belongs to the University and is not the Personal Asset of One family. Results matter. The Coach deserves the remainder of the season to get back to a level of respectability. Maybe, they can turn it around. The AD has to realize that it takes dollars to fund this program, and he can't keep looking the other way. Business is business.
It's sad what has happened to this program. It's equally as sad what's happened to our athletic program altogether. NIL may be the cause of men's basketball's downfall, but these other programs can't rest on that excuse. If only I were blessed enough to win the Powerball, I would dump $100m into athletics with the caveat that the entire department be nuked and started over.
With each passing year, my ability to stomach the mediocrity and apathy lessens.

It’s very easy to pay attention to other sports as well. Especially when they only sponsor the D1 minimum.
I thought this post was about men's basketball at first.
But seriously, this is an administration who keeps bringing back Rob Sheppard year after year. And they expect anything different? LOL!

It seems like it will only get worse with the new roster/scholarship limits rising by a factor of 3 (from 11.2 to 34) per the House settlement.
Dominate who? Lol. Not the true baseball powers…no chance.
Having said that, baseball, a once proud sport at the Hall, has suffered from “Pirate Plague”… that is this school’s inability to be proactive about just about anything. And for MANY years, going back to the 70’s, we had so many true stars…And MLB players…stars…HOF’s…what has the school done to cultivate those relationships over the years?
Nothing, or darn close to it…so now we find ourselves scrambling.
Same old story.
It’s my Alma mater, but honestly…between our athletics and our “ ineptness” ( call it what you want, lack of ability to keep a leader, politics, it’s all the same) at finding a University leader for so many years, I feel like there isn’t much they’ve done in so many years, to make alumni proud.
Very sad
The Sports Management program within the Stillman School was once billed as a Top 3-5 program in the country. I don't even know if you could find it on a ranking sheet anymore.
