I understand completely. Especially since you had a family member living his dream by playing for State and this coach ruined that experience for him and the entire family. I get it.

The point is that you and others have kept trying to point out that we lack talent. I've constantly pointed out that we do have the talent and in 24 it will be more mature and ready for SEC baseball. Guys like Dohm and Holcombe being rated among the top 10 in the country just support my position.

Former player, current donor states he's been told he is staying at Stanford. No clue if he knows what he's talking about or not, but he knows more than me. Just passing along.

Arent we going overboard just a little bit here? While Cade's Soph and Jr seasons werent successful team wise- Cade is leaving Starkville with the only national title in State history and was drafted into pro ball with a decent paycheck to get started in life. Hard to say his college experience was "ruined". Cade played in the same number of College World Series as Palmeiro and Clark

1) nobody has said we lack talent. In fact, I've used our routine top 15 recruiting rankings against Lemo as he can't even make Hoover with said talent. He underperforms.

2) these 2 guys are not top 10 pitchers. They may have the potential to be, but they literally arent aren't top 50 right now as far as actual pitching is concerned.

3) I don't deny we'll be better next year. I deny Lemo is the best man for the job

This is so Mississippi state. Serious question, have we ever had one of these ?secret commits?, ?its coming?, ?not announced yet? things work for us in any sport?

He was never secretly committed. It was known he was entering the portal. His parents, mother want him back closer. Not sure if that's what Braden really wants. We shall see. We had a really good visit w him at the cape...... obviously we want him.

Cade loves Msu, he told scouts in High School he was going to Msu. Here is the deal, Cade missed 6 weeks of the start of his freshmen year, when he came back he did very well at the end of the season. His Junior year, he also missed a month with sickness or illness, IF he would have been healthy his entire time at Msu, I believe he would have been even better. So, he mostly pitched against Sec teams in his career. In saying this, after being out a while it akes a few games or weeks to get back in shape, his overall stats aren't all that bad considering.
Very proud of him, he is such a great young man, he will be successful in whatever the future holds for him.
Ok, I'm done, LOL!

If we don't land Montgomery, I see no reason to keep Lemonis any longer.

Now that the portal thing is about wrapped, who were the secret commits?

No judgement on the rumor creator, just asking. Maybe they secretly decommited.

At least no player we wanted to keep left.

I agree - this just shows that we are dead in the water barring a miracle

Well, it is not like he had quit school at Stanford and was actively searching for a new school to transfer into. It is disappointing that we had a shot at maybe landing him but we did not lose him to LSU, Vandy, UT, etc. Hard to blame Lemonis for not getting a player who just decided to stay at his present school. Had he actually transferred some other place then I would have been pissed.

Fair enough on Montgomery, but it's not like he's the only good player to transfer this year. LSU got a .375 OF from Aizona, for example. And let's not get started on the pitching

Oh no doubt. Just referring to Montgomery. The rest of the debacle rates about a C minus.

One thing that bothers me in the expecting/hoping/needing theory that our young players will make a big jump up in 2024 is that the 13/12 teams who finished in the SEC ahead of us in the last two yers are expecting the same in 2024 and many made the "Honor Roll" in the portal vs the C- given above to Coach Lemonis. I too, am hoping for the best. Hail State!

Or maybe he didn?t get asked to transfer to the school of his choice (which wasn?t State) so he decided to just stay in the land of opportunity.

Hmmmm. Sorry mama. Just too many things to do out here in Fruitcake Land!

Well he was asked to transfer to LSU and A&M as well as us- so not sure why you would even post that ridiculousness
