    @PaulS:uellentrop: Maize South INF Wes Phillips will take a spot as a preferred walk-on at WSU. He's happy to be new coach Todd Butler's first Shocker recruit

      Wow, I hate to see Taylor Doggett leave. I think he has a lot of potential. Tobin isn't really much of a surprise. He didn't pitch a lot last season.

          Any idea of the reason that Tobin and Taylor are not returning? Particularly Taylor.

            I thought this was the interesting part of Paul Suellentrrop's article:

            Most of the recruiting efforts are aimed at athletes in the classes of 2014 and 2015. Butler and his staff are trying to make up ground with rising seniors. The Shockers don’t have any commitments from that group; a school such as Arkansas, where Butler coached the past eight seasons as an assistant, might be full of 2014 players and looking at future classes. Under Butler, WSU will offer more scholarships two years out, as is the trend, a practice the coaching staff avoided in the past. His ties to Texas fit an increased desire to recruit the Dallas area.

            The implication would seem to be that by the time our previous staff got around to offering scholarships most of the the prime beef may be been claimed. Am I misreading this?

              It is no longer "business as usual"?

                I'm not sure how to interpret this change in philosophy. Whether the previous staff did not do this to avoid over recruiting or they were more concerned with staying just a year out. But its like SB says its not business as usual.
