We're the New York Yankees at West Virginia, right?

It's so passionate.

So when people come here, they feel it, they know it, and people are looking for development.

So there's no shortcuts in this thing.

What we've done better than anybody in the country is develop players faster.

We didn't always have five-star recruits when I got here.

They hadn't been to the NCAA tournament in 20 years.

And so to fast track and go from not even being in the conversation for 20 years to playing in Omaha, that's a that's a pretty short decade, man.

That thing went quick.

And so for us to be able to do that, it was investment.

It was passion.

It was work ethic.

It was Coach Mazzie's vision.

And then a whole bunch of staff outworking people and a bunch of players that believed.

It does everything.

We've been on kind of the best kept secret in college baseball.

So if you're a baseball player, if you're in this arena, if you're an amateur coach, if you work with select players, you know about West Virginia baseball.

Only us in North Carolina have been to three consecutive Super Regionals.

So the consistency of winning has been elite at West Virginia.

But we hadn't been to Omaha.
