And the anointed Captain was devoid of the leadership qualities. And the coaches were devoid of an actual coaching abilities. And here we are.

The squabble started earlier than that. It started in Frisco and escalated later. Hunter was the alpha dog and Alford the bitch.

Well I do believe Alford has a ton of potential. Go back to when we signed him and then again last year when all our message boards were penciling him in as a starter and probably the 3rd baseman. He was definitely highly thought of coming in. I really think some lines were drawn after the 22 season. Then when the team was allowed to lolligag all fall even after flunking out in 22, they looked bad again to start 23 and it snowballed and they never became a <team>.

More like a bunch of misfits pieced together by a clueless coaching staff who only had to write a lineup card in 21.

He probably does have tons of potential. He looks the part. But that attitude was awful and apparent any time he was on tv.

Not to mention he played like crap hitting and fielding.

And there was a time not only coaches would wait for potential to become talent and the players would work hard in the off season to make that happen. And the majors were patient for that to develop over 3 years in their minor league programs. Colleges can?t afford to PAY someone for potential where as the Pros could.

So much for Alabama competing in baseball. They have the money but seems they'd rather spend it on basketball and football

Luke Holman, kid from PA, maybe Bednar should call him up to help Lemons

The same thing that's up with NC State, and most of the rest of the ACC. Not dedicating significant NIL dollars to baseball. The SEC is raiding their rosters for the best talent for larger NIL guarantees.
