Do you ever start positive threads, lol?
This is a positive thread. We have #7, #14, #25, #38, and #72. Just eyeballing it, we arguably have the top haul in the country so far. Let's add #2 and #5 and leave no doubt.
#17 Chris Arroyo and #36 Evan Blanco are uncommitted from Virginia. Are we on them too?
Find it odd Tennessee hasn't gotten much from the portal. At least so far.
I put Fla in there because the commitment happened a couple hours before my post
Not sure how this thread can be anything other than positive. We have 3 of the top 25.
Also, take those rankings with a grain of salt. That outfit is not some baseball expert.
This outfit has us as the best portal class in America currently. FWIW
And we're not done yet.
I think we add as much pitching as we can with a priority shifting to LHP. I think we have done well with pitching plus what we know we are keeping so far- Foster, McPherson, and Burns...but I think we would be very happy to find someone with legit closing experience and maybe a Hungate/Schuelke type if we can. We have enough where we can find a closer I believe as it is though. So we're really talking about being in a position of luxury here.
We need a SS and another catcher. Those are our major needs right now really. I'm sure we would also take someone that is too good to turn away if they wanted to come like Henry Ford although the consensus is he will commit to Tennessee. Would love for us to get involved there and at least muddy up the waters and drive up the price some. I think our outfield is most likely Chance, Teel, and Nunalee. That's a really strong group.
Anyone a little concerned that Virginia players are all over that top 50, and yet, Virginia wasn't any good?
