Yea a little worried about Ace now. Was not until earlier today. There is some thought that he may follow Jake wherever he ends up. You cannot be held hostage by one player though.Quote:

They made an offer(just like Tennessee, LSU, Arky, UGA, Ole Miss, etc). We can easily match or exceed any offer so it will come down to how quickly he can cultivate a relationship with the new staff.Quote:

I had a player parent, and a recruit parent, tell me OM weekend that the reason we got over 50% of our roster was the assts. The kids loved Park and Jake. Now, as with A&M, you can't let the players determine hires. But it does speak to the types of people and recruiters both those guys are.Quote:

Henry Ford-although he is a huge draft risk
Our old friend Hollis Porter is in the portal after hitting 21 HRs for Maryland this season.
He's either going to hit a HR or strike out. Struck out 79 times this year. A whopping 34% K rate. To put that into perspective, Hunter Hines only struck out 60. And he only struck out 74 last year when we thought he K'd every other AB. It's Dakota Jordan with a fraction of the athleticism. If McMullan thinks he can fix him then I guess go for it because he only had 2 errors at 1B all year so maybe you can fix the bat to not swing at anything and everything.Quote:

We were on him last year too. He was pretty good for them this year, but he's a definite draft risk.Quote:

Any chance he?s coming to Vegas?
The "do not contact" would have you believe so. A .317 hitter with 8 bombs? Yeah, you take that all day.Quote:

Need a catcher BOC!
How is Ford draft eligible as a sophomore when he doesn't turn 21 until two weeks after the draft? What's the rule on that?Quote:
