Secondly, while I agree we need another SEC arm- I fully believe 2 of our SEC SP's will come from Loo, Holcombe, or Loftin. We seem to forget that Loftin pitched alot midweek and we didnt lose midweek games. He gave up few hits. Those 3 simply have too much talent. Simmons will be almost 2 years post TJ surgery in January. He should be one of our best pitchers. We have some arms already on campus. The new PC needs to harness their talent and have them live up to it.

u r correct!

It wasn't a hurdle honestly. Just was all about timing. He wanted to get in the portal last year

I want some of the big in the know guys on here that have been calling Montgomery to State for weeks to put your rep on the line and call your shot now. He's in the portal now are we actually getting him? Some are acting like its been done and I admittedly doubted you guys until he went in the portal.

Now it sounds like LSU is getting involved but I wanna hear it from the "insiders" what's going on.

He and Hines are buddies and want to play together- but turning down LSU is gonna be hard for him to do. It’s gonna cost us to pull him

I've been telling you for over two months. And I stand by it. If something changes and I'm wrong then I'll own it.

HOPEFULLY with him being a first or second rounder next yr he will not be so concerned about a huge NIL deal for his one yr pit stop. And hopefully he will want to play for his home state school with his former high school teammate.
We will know soon enough.

Everybody is focused on Montgomery, but he's not the only big dog we got a shot at. Not close.

The statement we need to be asking is how much extra do we need to come up with and find a way as a fan base to make it happen.

NILSU is involved in everything yes? How could they not be. It would be malpractice to not tamper with a Golden Spikes candidate heading to Starkville

These past two years have jaded me from my internal optimism. I'm going to predict he goes with LSU

This is probably coming from the area of gene’s page, but it sounds like vandy is our main competition for Montgomery at this point. I say at this point b/c I have a feeling that this nil portal recruiting business is going to have more swings than hs football recruiting.

The thing that concerns me about vandy is, it is similar education wise to Stanford and Corbin was the first to offer Montgomery in hs. The Corbin angle makes me very nervous.

But then he'd have to wear the ugliest baseball uniform in the history of baseball... and ALL of their uni's are ugly.

And be called a "Vandy Boy". Has to be the worst nickname in all of sports

It?s not ?similar to? Stanford education wise. Well maybe to a layman but.. it?s like State football being similar to Alabama football.

Also I?m biased as a Stanford MBA but also **** vandy.

True story. But I feel better about Montgomery than burns or Holman.

That’s disconcerting. An ace is worth 2 stud outfielders, especially in our situation.

Go look for yourself, the Vandy players don't have majors for the most part. The ones that do, major in "American Studies". That means they watch movies all day. It's MLB or serve food at Starbucks for Vandy kids.

Hell yeah he's gonna get a big nil deal. Why would you even hope that.
