As ruthless as the schools can be with scholarships and such - this kinda cool to see
Sucks for us but whatever
Who the hell is Alford’s daddy?
Alford leaving is really not that big of loss. But DJ leaving is huge! He had so much upside. This NIL and portal crap totally sucks. I just believe that schools like ours that don?t have daddy warbucks lined up to pay we will going forward lose more and more games because our inability to retain rising stars regardless of whom the coach is.
It?s really really sad that a college sport that I truly love and devote a lot of time and expense is being ruined. The NCAA has totally screwed this up. I?m pretty much fed up with this crap. I?ll be in Starkville a lot this fall not to support the football team but rather to support my granddaughter that will be a cheerleader.
Just so everyone is clear, this had nothing to do with NIL. It was all a player, player daddy, and travel team coach being mad their player was shown the door.
Them going scorched earth and doing this is further proof that we made the right move, and I don?t like Lemon.
We won't miss him. When this type of situation happens in football, it has almost always been a neutral at worst case for us. Dakota ain't the kind of player we need right now if this is his attitude and those he surrounds himself with.
Ok so we?ve heard about travel ball coach
Made me wonder from EDs perspective - what are the good TB programs and which ones are viewed as be cautious with
Big hitting outfielder for Arizona just entered the portal
Bye. Idk how we will replace them and keep our chemistry together*
The Tim Dulins of the world are only concerned about themselves. Having organization players get booted or asked to leave looks bad on their program of getting players in front of colleges and MLB Scouts.
I remember when Dulin was in bed with olemiss big time. Then Bianco cut one of his former players and he was actively sending them away from olemiss.
Easley and East Coast Sox are two pro MSU organizations. I think we have had over 50 players over the years from East Coast Sox on our roster. Eric Dubose is the VP of East Coast Sox.
Easley baseball is of course named after Ed Easley and is one of the up and coming organizations.
I don't blame Lemons for this. Vandy loses players to the portal too. When you recruit stars with no ties to MSU, this can happen. Part of the modern portal.
If his price is as high as people saying. It was ridiculous. You could go get 5 or 7 RJ Yeagers and would be hammering people all the way to Omaha.
Jac Caglianone is the best player in college baseball next year, a legit two way Super Player with numbers to back it up. Malcom Moore of Stanford now that's a star freshman. DJ has meh numbers and has a stooge personality. No loss here.
