If Luke comes back, that would really help. Otherwise, we Have to sign a transfer catcher. Need 1 more OF. And need 1 more MIF. Then everything else has to go to arms.

Really like the ledbedder pickup. Just make the tournament next year. Should have a good young group that can grow to be special in the next few years.
I see it something like this....
RF: Kellum
CF: Groff or O'donnell
LF: Ledbetter
3B: Slate
SS: Lane
2B: Chester or transfer
1B: Hines
DH: Downs
C: Hancock or transfer
So that's 3 open spots for transfer position players. Then pour all other scholarship money, NIL money, and efforts into re-tooling the pitching staff
I think some will be surprised a little by what we bring in. We aren't settling for guys that haven't proven they can hit it.
If MSU can replace a pen with a weighed average ERA of +7 with dudes that just 4 on ERA, that's a huge swing in outcomes.
That's roughly 12 more wins, 7 more in the SEC. You make a regional and host it.
That's just 6 decent pitchers.
If you could find a Jonathan Holder (just a miracle) you are in a Super.
Oh no, I agree totally. You take everything and process what you don’t. I just wanna know when the pitchers are coming. There are several decent to good arms in the portal and have already went other places. We knew we needed pitching, we should have cleaned up on that.
True. But the JUCO's that played at a SEC school are a little bit less of a wild card. See Nate Lowe and Jack Kruger.
Next year is essentially going to be Lemonis's version of Cohen's 2011. With a modern twist because of the players we are going to get for the portal.
Exactly. And we don't have to get them all from the portal. I think we see some old guys improve- hopefully Fristoe- and we always seem to have at least one freshman pitcher a year that contributes in some role every year.
What website is the go to for monitoring who is in portal?
Cant rep you but good post Brunswick ... you always seem to do your research and it's appreciated
Cad - I feel your frustration and I thought our 2014 football season would give us a much better bump in recruiting - but it didn't really - not so much as one would expect
Here's a RHP from Stetson we should take a look at. Put up a 3.21 ERA, 55 Ks, 12 BBs in 53 IP as a freshman. He'd be a good bullpen piece with multiple years of eligibility. Currently in the portal.

Here's a MIF we've been rumored to have reached out to

Portal FAQ in a student-athlete website
Can anyone view the transfer portal?
When providing access to the transfer portal for coaching or staff members, by default, the individual will have view only privileges. Edit privileges should only be provided to individuals who will enter and update the student’s record.
Can the public view the NCAA transfer portal?
Coaches can see who is in the portal, but it is not public information. Athletes can withdraw from the portal; it’s then up to the school to decide whether to take that athlete back and restore his/her scholarship.
Can you remove your name from the transfer portal?
If a student puts their name in the portal, it is not in there permanently. Student athletes can remove their names if they want to. The portal gives coaches the ability to sort entries by sport, name, conference, division, and school. it also gives them the ability to save entries to a “transfer watchlist”.
Is the transfer portal public?
But with the advent of the Transfer Portal, interest in the process behind approving transfers has intensified — partly because the idea of a new digital tool for managing it is intriguing, and partly because the media and the public don’t have access to the portal.
This is supposedly a screenshot of the official "portal" database that coaches have access to:
