No, but it's not like he can schedule several in a row like Holman did. That's all I was sayingQuote:

I do not know the specifics but the longer Montgomery takes, the less confident I feel about him but I still feel like Montgomery comes to State. As far as Holman, I know the reports says that he is still undecided between State and LSU. I hear that we have people inside his circle. I am curious who those people are.Quote:

Good Grief! I hate Lemonis for putting us in this position where we are at the mercy of 2 or 3 20 year olds to get State out of this mess. Whereas the teams we are competing with for these guys just played in Super Regionals and the CWS and don?t really need them to turn next year around. Really sad!
Note: I don?t hate Lemonis as a person. Just what he has done to this program!
damn man I hate the way things have gone the last 2 seasons but we are a player away from arguably the best line-up in the SEC. We need Holman but I can handle losing him to LSU- we arent going to win that battle very often when they have a competent coach. Not getting Montgomery would be extremely disappointingQuote:

What is probably biting the PAC 12 schools is suddenly becoming the SEC's minor league in baseball.Quote:

Wait I thought pitching was all that mattered? LolQuote:

Pitching is absolutely more important. My post didnt say different. My post talked of the excitement of landing Montgomery who is much more likely to be at State than Holman. Landing top notch pitching is harder than landing position players- and going head up vs LSU makes it even harder. While I value the pitcher- I can handle losing a recruiting battle to LSU. They are country's top program in the last 30 yearsQuote:
