You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to basedog again.Quote:

Thanks for the memories Mule!
I don't think he beats out Alford at 3b next year. Kam may get a shot at RF some(with Kellum at DH), DH & play 3B occasionally.Quote:

I was told "he will be fine". I'm just gonna get this out there as I have been asked many times about Cade. It's a personal "family" disconnect, I want be commenting on Cade this fall. I hope you guys can understand as I stay in my lane.Quote:

Day 2 is done! Very likely we get all our recruits now.
well evidently Bill Knight was going to transfer here and just got drafted
Big loss on Knight. Damn. Look for Alford at 3B with Kam to the OF.
Might be where Kam James ends up playing. Not many folks talked about Knight but he was going to be a solid portal pickup for us. Likely gone now.Quote:

The final day of the draft will be interesting for sure. But I like where we currently stand.
Edited to say that I'm assuming that Knight will be leaving. I believe the team had a deal with Knight, or else they would not have drafted him.
Pretty good day today. Losing Knight sucks but that was always a possibility, I just hadn't thought of it.
Probably going to get all our recruits to campus which is good for us next year and in the future
Watch for Kam, KC, Fristoe, and a way outside shot at Hancock. Feeling good about things as of now.
Pretty solid plan B if notQuote:

Indeed and far from down. Let's get skenes and groff from Tulane... And maybe one or two moreQuote:

Agreed. Jett, Sims, and Logan Tanner were locks. They were signing and everyone knew it. So far, Knight is the only one that we’ve lost that we had a shot at (assuming he signs, and I believe he will sign). But we could get the entire signing class minus Jett.Quote:

He's on campus. So, I hope this is him saying "drafting me now won't bring enough $, so I'm staying"Quote:

Ugh just no. we aren't gonna burn this guy to the ground like that.Quote:

The arm gets all the attention, but talk to guys that go on short rest and the legs are just as crucial.Quote:
