Vitello has Spirit Chuck big mad today

[Coach34]

Saw a screen shot of that idiot whining about Tenn snaking them on Fischer. But it's just more of what I've been saying for awhile now. The big boys have made college baseball the same as college football now.

Fischer had an NIL with Mississippi
After having a great season- Fischer wanted to renegotiate for more money. Mississippi complied and gave him more NIL money for 2025.
Fischer then jumps into the portal 3 days before the deadline. Why? Tenn/Vitello slips in and offers him 6 figures more than Skenes got from LSU.

This is college baseball now.

[Todd4State]

More like this is Ole Miss baseball now. They have major NIL issues. Luke Hill almost left during the season because his NIL wasn't what he was promised and they had to smooth that over.

On top of that they have boosters that are rumored to not be donating until Bianco is gone. They're going to deep six their program which should end well.

Hate to see it.

[confucius say]

Walker Jones is crying on Twitter that "tampering is a problem." I mean....

[BuckyIsAB****]

Im just glad we finally got sports to what they are supposed to be. All those wasted years all those poor children

[Coach34]

The funniest part of all this is anybody from Mississippi whining about tampering after everything they do and have done is a complete lack of personal awareness.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I can assure you Lemonis isnt tampering.

Six figures more than Skenes? Vitello is just dragging his nuts on Ole Miss.

Tenn has crazy money. Now with a Natty- it's pumping in. Vitello aint leaving that place for the next 20 years. He is going for his statue

I honestly dont think Tenn would care in today's world

[Todd4State]

Not sure that I believe that. Although Skenes is a different kind of guy. I think he donated all of his NIL to charity. Most people aren't going to do that.

Not sure how many remember but Georgia tried to poach Dakota Jordan last year from us. And we stopped it from happening. Everyone would remember if he left.

There is a reason why Tennessee is poaching Ole Miss and not say- Alabama or Georgia or MSU. Ole Miss has some major NIL issues in baseball. They're vulnerable.

[Todd4State]

The funniest part of all this is anybody from Mississippi whining about tampering after everything they do and have done is a complete lack of personal awareness.

It really is. Hi Malik Heath, Jarrian Jones, and Fabien Lovett!

[Todd4State]

Hate to see it.

And they thought Jake Mangum was bad for their program. I think this is going to get pretty ugly for them. If Fisher wants a counter offer based on the way that Walker Jones is acting I don't think he gets it. Which means if he isn't bluffing he's walking. And losing Doyle is going to hurt as well.

And then when they finally are able to buyout Bianco in a year or two I think they're going to have a hard time finding someone between salary and the remaining crater left behind. I only say two because the buyout is apparently that bad.

[Coach34]

Tenn offered just south of half a million. People wonder why Vitello is such a good recruiter? Well here is why.

But let’s blame Lemon because we have offered Dirtbag $150K to not sign

[SpaceBully]

I can assure you Lemonis isnt tampering.

...or poaching when Lemon gets most of our portal players from Div. II or III teams.

[Ranchdawg]

Put the chairs in the wagon revival is over. Damn I hate college baseball has come to this. Really liked college baseball because it was one of the college sports more non effected by NIL than basketball/football. Well we damn sure won’t be winning any national championships anytime soon. I just don’t see us having 500K to spend on ANY player.

[Offshore Dawg]

Will not matter, I thought that was a hillbilly standard with your cousins.

Time to treat them like big boys. Mandatory non-negotiable buyout clauses and strict non tampering rules/ And this needs to be implemented before these kids unionize and have bargaining power.

Disheartening when C34 is the voice of reason. It takes big time NIL monies to get thet best... not 15,000 fans at game. Sure, all our fans make if fun but money talks and bullshit walks. It is what it is.

Hi Todd, what do you think of Ole Miss' JT Quinn and Grayson Saunier. It's not tampering, they are already in the portal and were rather big recruits.

You don't break the bank with players that are not currently stellar. Plus they come with 170 combined innings of D1 experience. Maybe they come humble and ready to work with Parker. Seems we can catch their peak year of performance as Juniors.

What sticks out about OM is that the whole staff is on fire. Like when MSU had Foxy. Seems more like coaching issues that talent.

Is C34 saying that MSU offered Mershon 150K in NIL and that UT is offering Fischer 500k?

Not disputing, I don't know anything.

What I read about LSU with Crews, Skenes, and Tanks is that their money was way lower than that. More like 80K but with money promised after school. Like Tanks stays the Baton Rouge face of Raising Cain's for a few years. Crews continues to rep Mariucci bats for a few years. But the money was not that big. But I am not saying that I truly know the numbers.

[BHildreth3]

I'd love to see what Augie Garrido would think of coaching in the NIL era of College Baseball. He would have had a heart attack every game from cussing so much. This post is for the baseball gurus that knew how he coached and how he approached the game. I think his last stop was Texas?

I thought he got bumped up a year. It would be hard to believe that Selmon would let him enter the final year of his contract.

They are negotiating his extension currently

The numbers are “total package”. Nobody is handing them that much in cash. 40K may be in the form of a car donated by a car dealer. Then set them up with X amount of dollars with this or that company paying that part of it- etc. Crews, Tanks, and Skenes total packages were way north of 80K

UT paying Fisher double what OM offered. Not 500k though.

Most players aren't getting anywhere near this amount. But Fisher checks off a lot of boxes for UT

I like Saunier but I will say really the only game I saw him pitch was against us in the Governor's Cup and I thought he did a good job. I know he lost his rotation job at Ole Miss. He seems like a guy that Parker could "fix".

Quinn apparently wants to go play closer to home in Florida but I would be fine taking him too.

Quinn has some upside with the right pitching coach

Agree. I'd love to get him

it's not 5 but it is stupid amount considering. more than braden mont got

[Coach34]

yeah thats why I said south of 500K. Crazy packages out there for certain guys.

2 good pulls by us this week. Need a couple more quality pulls and we will have had a good portal season

Tenn got the title and money is coming in. Overpay to rebuild and make sure you are there in the mix again. Makes your HS recruiting easier and portal guys even more interested. Good plan for 2025

Do what? After all those jokers have done in football. Shoes on the other foot now Walker.

[Pancho]

1/3 of their baseball boosters are refusing to donate til Bianca is gone

And the money they do is have is all being shifted to football per Kiffin's request. If they don't make the playoffs it may be the biggest flop season we've seen in a long time.

[State82]

I will be doing my best to send as much bad juju as possible to those schmucks between now and the start of the season. And during the season too.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Clawson is going to get them in Winston-Salem on Sept 14th but they will still win 9

[Coach34]

I think they go 10-2 with losses to Jawja and @LSU

Slip in the playoff

[CaptainObvious]

I think they go 8-4. With losses to Wake Forest, UGA, and LSU. After their 3rd loss assures they will not make the playoffs, per usually with hired mercenaries, they play a WTF game the day after Thanksgiving and lose to The Dawgs!
HAIL STATE!!

[Coach34]

Every team has hired guns now. We have what? 30 news guys or so?

They will beat Wake by 2 TD’s or more unless Joe Dirt gets hurt. You guys better brace yourselves this Fall. This is the best team they have ever had

And they have the second or third easiest schedule in the league per the analytics. Anything less than 10-2 is an abject disaster.

[Todd4State]

Why do some of y'all think Wake Forest is going to beat Ole Miss?

They went 4-8 last year. They were worse than MSU with Arnett and Barbay.

Did they get Mahomes in the portal?

Bc people blindly want to believe that they won't be good. Bc logic of that makes ZERO since. Winning by 21 makes way more.

They are spending their NIL money on the sport that matters. We should probably do the same.

[PGHBulldogBG]

They struggle with Wake historically similar to how we do with GT, it’s @Wake and Wake is supposed to be improved. Clawson is also a really good coach at probably the hardest power 5 school to win at and he took them to a record straight number of bowl games along with an ACC title appearance and usually has a good offense. I am not saying Ole Miss is not going to be a good team as I think they still win all their other games besides UGA and @LSU

They struggle w them historically??? How many times have they ever played?? And how many times was the talent gap this wide??? You're smoking crack. They are going to kil them.

They may be good enough to beat Georgia since its at home. But damn I hope not

I think we should spend our money on all of our sports we care about.

It's not like Lebby is recruiting poorly in the portal or high school right now while we're also recruiting well in baseball at the same time.

We'll see how Ole Miss feels next year when they win 23 games in baseball.

I can almost guarantee you that if we played GT without Croom or when they had two of their best teams during the Paul Johnson era we would win our share of games.

I continue to be amazed by the Dave Clawson love on this board. There is no rhyme or reason to it.

They played them twice. Once with O and they were skulled and once with Nutt, where he was still figuring out that team. So yes they have "historically" struggled with them being they are 0-2 in their only two games against them.

However, that was 3 coaches ago for OM and 1 coach ago for Wake. At that time, they were probably pretty equal talent wise. They haven't been equal talent wise in over a decade though. OM will win that game by 3 scores, and it may not be that close.

They aren't anywhere close to Georgia good. Still 20 points or more behind UGA. They aren't close to Bama either. But Bama has a tougher schedule, so OM may finish ahead of Bama in the SEC. Bama has more five stars right now than OM has ever had.

[Coach34]

They are one of the best 10 teams in the country. They will have a shot to beat Georgia at home. I agree Georgia is the better football team but Stop kidding yourself. Upsets happen on the road in the SEC every season.
