How does the 34 player roster work next year? Is it a hard 34 or is it divisible?

Y’all do realize Chance was one of our best hitters for the last month or so of the season, correct?

But he wasnt for the first 2 months of the season. He did get hot for sure. He hit .250 in postseason including 0-10 in the Regional. He just aint "that guy" when it matters

Not exactly sure what you mean by divisible but it's a hard cap of 34. Gotta be at 34 by Dec. 1st.

I think he is asking if you have to provide all 34 with full scholarships. I think this is the case. You used to could divide up your 11.7 in baseball.

No. You don't have to provide 34 full but you can. And yes you can divide however you see fit. Up to the schools unless the conference makes its own rules.

We will provide 34 full. I imagine some schools, maybe a lot of schools, will provide less.

Probably a big reason we pulled OConnor. Would be interesting to see what UVa does.

He hit .350 with double digit stolen bases and is a very good defender with a weak arm. He would make a bunch of rosters.
If he's our 4th outfielder, that's a heck of an outfield.

You could say the same thing about Reese, who was much worse. You shouldn't, but you could.

Right. Shit happens and we all know C34 picks his stats when it suits his 17d up narcissistic mind.

He also told us Reese already had a deal with another team.

He had an offer from LSU before we hired BOC. We knew about it, is what I was told. I have no idea what we said to Ace and his father, other then let?s talk once the new HC is hired.

Teel has committed.

He had a lot of offers - mostly SEC. It was stated on here a deal was done to LSU.

If he had left, he wasn?t going to LSU.

So when we were told Starkville was too boring and small to get players, that was not correct?

Buckner to the portal, making room for Becker if I had to guess.

You were not told that. You were told it does factor in for recruits tho. We have been getting players season after season but so far All we have gotten is players following a coach because they want to continue to be coached by him. Also doubling your NIL for your new coach helps quite a bit

Oh I was told point blank that Starkville was keeping kids from coming here.
Of course having a hall of fame coach that kids want to play for helps. That's why the Virginia players are here.

*******, you 17ers are insufferable. Starkville is a small town, I grew up in it, left worked in some big cities and after 30 years gone I live here again. Small towns are not for everyone, it may turn some kids off it may be others cup of tea. But this line off garbage is tiresome FFS. So far we have been able to keep some kids we had to and added some that were already with our new staff. I?m hoping we can pull some more players out of the portal that aren?t so closely associated with us in one way or another. We need more arms and are weak as hell up the middle. Now Hail State and pass the Tito?s.

This. Yall hate on Starkville but change your story when the narrative doesn't fit. The one thing you've said that's right is it's about money. That matters as does the coach. The town not near as much as yall make it out to be. I never understand how you can say all this and watch what ole miss does at football and see what we've done past and present in football. Yall are delusional. It's money and staff. On occasion you get a guy like mangum.

Been day drinking in the pool, thank you.

If you're an athlete nowadays how much do those guys really go out anymore?

For most of the serious ones getting into the pros is the priority.

Those guys get out alot to chase girls. That is the main reason to go out in the first place. The advantage of being an athlete.

Which you can adequately do in Starkville. More than adequately actually.

Literally the last athlete I saw out anywhere was Ross Mitchell at a Wendy's in 2013 after we won the regional.

I get that these guys need to relax every now and then and whatnot. I've also heard of stories of MSU athletes being basically mobbed by fans when they're going out and I can imagine a lot of athletes not being real wild about that.

I'm sure that dealing with every Maroon Mary wanting a picture with you at the grocery store gets old pretty quickly. There's a reason why the players basically have their own area to hang out and relax at Dudy Noble Field so that they can get away from everything else. There are times that players are sleeping in there.

I'm not sure how much it's changed since I was there but I was there a lot closer than you were. Yeah they go to bars and frat parties but they usually have house parties, etc to stay out of trouble. They have no problem girls coming to them. The athletes usually party together.

Yeah. I think it's way different than it used to be where the baseball team would play a DH and then go out drinking beer all night at The Landing.

You get just as many beautiful women in Starkville and oxford than you do in Knoxville, Baton Rouge, and Tuscaloosa...and that's a fact. unless you an ugly Mfer.
