I think I have also seen it mentioned that Yeski isn’t happy at A&M for whatever reason, which looks to be a legitimate rumor.
Yeski wanted out of A&M. Hooked back up with Johnson because LSU will buy him pitchers (simple version). He butted heads with Johnson at Zona because they wouldn't get him pitchers and just loaded up on bats. I'd guess he's making a little more than at A&M. Wes was making close to $400K.

It would be hard to be happy in college station unless you are an Aggie at heart. That fan base is weird and cultish and they do not grow on you at all...trust me, I live here.Quote:

The Twins were paying him that and LSU doubled it.Quote:

Yet we sit on our hands… I have no clue what is going on, but we have literally got ONE kid. ONE!!!! I don’t give a shit about the super secret commits. That’s bullshit. I won’t believe it until I see it at this point…
His base pay was $380K at LSUQuote:

I saw something yesterday on twitter that said Burns was staying at Tenn. It said lsu and vandy offered him 6 figures but a Tenn booster matched it and he was staying.Quote:

and they may not- but I think they have too much talent not to develop. Between Simmons, Loftin, Loo, and Holcombe's country ass- we should have at least 2 SEC SP's this SpringQuote:

We have JUCO pitchers, guys from the portal, people coming back from Injuries, and then we may get some guys back from the draft for their senior year.Quote:

Right now, from the outside looking in, we appear to be failing at an epic level with the transfer portal. Only silver lining I can possibly see at this point is that we are banking NIL to spend when the next staff takes over next June. I hope I eat crow later, and I will gladly take seconds with that meal but it appears that we have totaled the Ferrari and insurance isn't going to cover it.
