    I'm pretty sure one of those not coming back is Rigby. It's weird because he's

    going to be a senior but apparently he's transferring, or so that's the word. Rigby's Dad and the coaches don't geehaw.

And I pretty much agreed with him.

    Seems like if it's just a balancing act, they could cut scholarships from other less important sports.
    The NCAA voted back in 1991 to reduce all scholarships across all sports as a cost reduction measure. Baseball was trimmed from 13 to 11.7, football had a phase in to 85, and basketball from 15 to 13. Also the number of baseball games scheduled went from a maximum of 70 to 56. Title IX screwed up a lot of things but this wasn't one of them.

    Plumlee pitched pretty well down the stretch so you have to wonder what the deal

    is with him. I think Blaylock and Bragg would've been good in due time. The rest are very much expendable.

    All 3 aren't very talented. If you want to build your roster to look like the CWS teams, you can't have dead weight.

    Define talented. If talented is getting drafted, then we just took a pitcher from Tulane that wasn't drafted. I don't think MiLB level talent is necessary at all the positions to win in college baseball. Look at Cody brown this year

    Title IX still plays a part though because it was responsible for the original number both before 1991 and now having to be balanced. Even if you went back to 13, that is still WAY too low. How can you justify enough scholarships to be 4-deep at every position in football with scholarship players, 2-3 deep at every position in basketball, but not even 1-deep in baseball...especially when you consider needing 5 starting pitchers plus 5-6 relievers? If everything was proportional, baseball would have an absolute minimum of 18 scholarships, and realistically the fair thing would be 20-21 scholarships.

    We were already looking at 16-18 returning healthy players. Factor in all these, and it's closer to 10.

    I'm excited about Cann and his recruiting skills, but filling a roster with SEC-worthy players after this and after the draft put a hurting on us is going to be interesting.

    Interesting yes, as far as hurting, pretty sure Cann has a plan.

    I think a couple more who played want make the cut next fall. Out with old and in with the new!

    My question has to do with replacing them. It's pretty late in the game as far as finding replacements to come in August and go through fall and then get ready for next spring isn't it?? We're in June now, going on July. Are there 6 replacements out their with more ability than those 6? You do want guys with "more" ability, not just equal. If you come out equal, you may as way have stayed where you were.

    Can anybody answer this?

    If you get equal from the juco ranks, you really got less bc they'll have less sec experience.
