It's solely up to Parker and what he does with the pitchers. Lemo is there on the bucket and being a good PR guy and saying all the right coach speak phrases. It is what it is at this point.

I honestly can?t think of a reason why we wouldn?t.
Pathetic if we really didn?t.

We obviously recruited him. Has it occurred to you he wanted to go out of state since the beginning?

LOL. We couldn't even get him to Starkville when we were going to Omaha three years in a row.

I love how it went from "BM is coming here and is silently commited" to all of the sudden "there's literally no way we could have landed him even in an alternative timeline"

The fact still remains that MSU will have extreme difficulties landing what we call a top of the line portal guy at any position as long as Lemo is the head bucket sitter. We are staring at a situation where coach Parker is faced with needing to have 4 or 5 pitchers have breakout years similar to Pilkington, Small or Bednar.

Dang it. Sucked me back in.
Is it not only possible, but probably, that Lemo and a Foxhall recruited swing and miss pitchers to the old strike zone, and the teams that pitch it that way all flopped this past year due to the new tight strike zone? Maybe the smart hitting coaches told their guys to be patient because with the Umps being evaluated electronically, they aren?t going to call pitches 3-4 inches off the plate, and they are going force the pitchers to pitch between the top of the knee and the belt buckle to get called strikes, especially breaking balls.
I guess the walks stats might bare that out for the teams at the bottom 1/3 of the SEC.

If Parker pulls this off he will be royalty in 'Vegas. I hope he is wearing a jeweled crown next summer.

Pulls what off? Coaches talented guys to get people out? We'll have at least 4 if not 6 pitchers drafted next summer.

You can't make this statement when you have placed blame on foxhall for not doing a good job

You can absolutely make that statement. Our talent has not lived up to it on the field with Foxy. I look for it to do so this Spring. 6 of our top 9 in IP's were Sophs and Freshmen. Just growing up some will improve the staff.

I don't know who people use as sources but those that do claim that they got them from the coaches or people close to them. I don't doubt that really but even if that is the case I don't count people as in until they actually commit.
If the coaches heard from Braden's parents that he is coming and thought that he was coming here without talking to Braden first- then that's a mistake on their part.
Being from Madison- I had always heard that Braden was "different"- really into academics and didn't really give us or Ole Miss much time of the day. When I know that a kid is different I definitely don't count them in until the ink dries.

That still Foxhall's fault. Regardless of whether you are into analytics or not you still have to command the zone. That's a big difference between Bednar and Sims and our other guys the past few years- they could throw their fastball and breaking ball for strikes. You don't even have to be a smart hitting coach to tell guys to lay off spin if the pitcher can't ever throw it across the plate.
