Is Bolt feasting off of Erstadt's recruits?

I don't know if you saw an opening and decided to seize the role of "baseball board troll" or if you're really this dumb. Darin Erstad (learn how to spell his name, he's only one of the best players in program history) showed zero interest in recruiting. In one full season at NU Bolt already has as many conference championships as Erstad had in eight years and has more postseason wins.
At least you've stopped comparing Bolt to Frost and inserted Erstad into the conversation, kudos to you. Everyone is upset at the state of our football and basketball programs but you don't need to start looking for problems where there aren't any. If you're going to stick with this narrative I don't want to see you in your faded Eric Crouch #7 jersey at TD Ameritrade when Bolt has this team in the CWS in the very near future.
Erstad was OK, but needed an assistant to run the offense, it cratered when Bolt left and was never quite good enough especially in tourney play. Bolt is a f***ing baseball pimp. End of story.
John Cook is just riding on Terry Pettit's coattails, man 🥴
Good luck winning without Bolt's pitchers and good luck winning without Erstad's position guys. Someone else can dig in to the position guys and see if their production increased or decreased under coach Bolt.

That was just a little joke and a funny one at that.
Look, no one is disrespecting DE but the fact that he voluntarily stepped aside is a bit of a clue that he knew we weren't exactly going in the right direction. God bless Darin Erstad but maybe bringing a team out of the plains and into the CWS isn't his cup of tea. DE will always be a Husker Hero and perhaps a little bit more so for stepping down. He didn't need to do that.
It’s somewhat hard to give Erstad credit for Schwellenbach’s pitching since he wasn’t even a full time nor successful pitcher until Bolts most recent season. However I get that he did recruit him.
I agree with your overall point 100%
It's obvious to everyone not a troll which staff got more out of their guys offensively.
