It?s just wild to me we are so excited over a kid staying on team and not being a shit teammate. What happened
Elitedawgs/Me reported long ago LSU was in contact and hard after Ace. Way before any of the paid message boards even mentioned it.
We make a new hire and our coaching staff has to fly to Ace at the last second to secure him for our program. Elitedawgs remains at the top of Miss State info.
I'll take a bow as usual. Elitedawgs is where its at
One thing is a fact, Ace loved small town Vegas and the new coaching staff more than any other offers.
I do not know if I know a bigger retard than you and that is saying something.
only a bigger "regard" thinks we spent thousands of dollars and the staff loaded up at crunch time to just go say hey to Ace for no reason. We were fighting to keep him for our lives. This staff was desperate and brought the house to make it happen. Kudos to them. We were a thread from losing our best player
It's going to come down to MLB signing bonus vs MSU NIL. If Godbout comes to MSU I'm sure it would be to play SS. He almost immediately entered the portal when Becker announced he was returning to Virginia. But he would be very expensive NIL wise because he has a 2nd-3rd round draft grade. He would be turning down a million dollars and lose draft leverage to come here. Latta is draft eligible but doesn't have nearly as high a draft ranking. I think he would be expensive to get but way cheaper than Godbout. Arroyo is in the same boat and we might as well include Bevis, Stallman, Valincious, and Frei in the boat with him. I wouldn't turn down Arroyo but I like the idea of maybe using Frei at first base if we get him back. I think he could have a monster year if he plays more than half a season.
There was definitely something there. Usually if a rumor isn't true they get the MSU writers to squash it ASAP. I can tell you the LSU people I know didn't think that they were going to get him. And then they seem to be zeroed in on Carraway from Oregon State who is a third baseman just a day or two ago.
When this rumor was started it sounded to me more like something that Vitello and Tennessee would do. LSU just never really made sense to me because of some things that I have heard about Ace and his Dad liking Starkville and MSU better plus the NIL deal we gave Ace. Now, yes I could see LSU coming back around to kick the tires after they won the NC to see if they can get him while selling winning a NC to him but that would really be a Hail Mary more than anything.
Tennessee on the other hand needs to try to find someone to replace Fisher and they had a connection through Henry Ford who was on Ace's team in the Cape. Fortunately for us Jay Powell was the coach so if there was something up he could notify our people pretty quickly.
Since Ace wasn?t even in the portal, you can?t say he was a thread away from leaving. It?s a critical step that must be taken first.
It can also be true that Ace was getting uninvited attention from other schools and their signees, and our staff decided to fly up and show support.
He still didn?t enter the portal. Close enough to take credit for being ?right?, I guess.
Everyone who has any sort of sourcing on this has said the same thing, Ace Reese was very close to leaving. Faulk said he had the tweet ready to post. Steve and Co. had the article ready to go. Like this was a real thing. LSU was pushing but there were other teams sniffing around such as Tennessee, Texas, A&M, and UGA.
IT DOES NOT MATTER!
