It's not money. We could pay handsomely. But we're not paying him more than mlb minimum. Which is what his handler is demanding. Screw him.Quote:

Correct ....Well more than mlb min.Quote:

Way off base here.Quote:

Exactly, he deserves to be embarrassed and exposed on as many platforms as possible for acting pettyQuote:

I know many don't want to burn bridges there bc of his connections.Quote:

Alford had an attitude problem. He needed to go. If Jordan wants to go with him cause he doesn’t have the sense to not be pressured into it, let him go.
i just went and looked up mlb minimum. Ho-lee-shit is all i got to say.
Agree. Go get Montgomery if he portals. I doubt he's asking 5 times what Skenes got like Dakota's handler is.Quote:

Jordan is following bad info. He's not worth what it sounds like he thinks he is. A coach can't save a kid from his own delusions.
Now if Jordan was trying to go to a top tier program I could say he wants to win, and thus blame Lemo for not having us winning enough to keep him. But if he's going to UGA then that narrative doesn't fit.
Still, at the end of the day Lemo gets paid to put a good product on the field, and loosing our 2nd best hitter would not help with that. This problem isn't his fault but he'll be held liable for overcoming it
And he won't get anything close to that anywhere. Certainly not Georgia.Quote:
