That's both good enough to keep Lemo another season, AND it's better than we'll be in '25. He aint it, or we wouldn't have finished 14th and 13th these past 2 seasons.

Should have fired him and brought in a better coach. We're extending the mediocrity 2, 3 more years and digging the program deeper into a hole.

2 seeds go to supers and Omaha every year.

We will see. If you're right and we're not a host or in a super, it's a failure like any other season where neither of those happen. If we do, then all the complaining a year before the season was for naught

LSU landed an OF. That seems like it will State with Montgomery. I?m not sure how serious are LSU and Montgomery are with each other.

I was thinking Mershon in CF and Cupp at SS to be honest with you.

Rooker wasn't ready until his third year on campus as a Redshirt sophomore.
Frazier wasn't ready as a true freshman.
Stratton year 3.
Dakota Hudson year 3.
On and on.

Again, we should have a few guys make a jump

We need some of them to make a Jared Liebelt sized leap. I'm really optimistic about what Parker can do with the talent we have. There is no way (from a physical talent perspective) we are as bad as we've shown recently.

You do you but it sounds like you're awfully nervous that you're going to be wrong about Lemonis.

There?s no strong reason as of right now to think, or certainly assume, we will be better. But the problem is, we do not just need to be better, we need to be WAAAY better.

He also was not good as a sophomore.

But he did improve quite a bit:

• Hit .252 and ranked second on the team with 58 hits and 20 extra-base hits, including 16 doubles and four home runs • Set the school record with an SEC-leading 10 outfield assists

Dead bat and ball era also

100% ! Every level you go up in competition there?s an adjustment period to catch up with the speed of the game. Just the way it is!

Quit being deliberately obtuse and intentionally misunderstanding what we're saying.

Some of us doubt we will get as big of jumps as we need from as many players as we need it from. That's it. Nobody is saying our returning players literally won't get better

I'm old enough to remember people on here claiming Hines was the same player this year as last...

Just going to say a super Trolly thing here...Foxhall in 2018 and 2019 was Muscara good. Players were getting better and MSU was leaping the SEC pitching rankings.

You're right - hired in 2018 but not coaching until 2019.

That's when Leibelt made his leap. Small became a National Ace.

Nate Snead of Wichita State is going to Tennessee- that's the best Relief Pitcher in the portal, if you consider Chase Burns a Starter now.

Happened on June 28, so not just now

Jack Selinger the 100 MPH LHP from UNLV is a Marlin Signee

Tennessee definitely has the best Portal class this year. We have a shot at #2 if we land Holman and Montgomery. If we land 1 of those 2 we're like 5th after Wake and LSU and UF. If we land neither, that means all we got was a decent Saturday starter and a decent 3B and that's worse than most of the conference honestly.
