We needed a Friday guy and you admitted so back in June/July. I broke it down then, almost every SEC team got better arms then we did from the Portal. It was a complete failure. Even that 3B you mention is the 3rd best 3B transferring into the WestQuote:

I do, Cade wasn't the same. Not all Foxhall fault. Cade left today for Tampa, it's a pitchers catchers camp. Not all pitchers are catchers for Yankee organization are invited.Quote:

Seems like we have had a few coaches over the past couple of years that make promises to individuals that end up hurting the team. But alas, I guess Jans made promises to DJ and Tolu as well.
The flip side is for every time we had nobody Dakota Hudson shows up..... he came back after we cut his scholarship!! Players get better.Quote:

The top portal prospect for pitching ended up at Wake Forest and not even in the SEC partially because he struggled as a starter at Tennessee and had an ERA of 6.10 as a starter. That's what you're mad about not getting? If we can actually pull an ace that's legit of course we'll take them but everyone will take an ace if they can get them no matter their situation.Quote:
