NCAA Baseball Transfer Portal

D2 Slugger

29 HRs for Quincy University. I don't even know where Quincy is located but 29 is lots of production.

Would be a Senior in D1. When was the last time MSU transferred a guy from Delta State to MSU? I don't recal.

Montgomery-Hines-Jordan is a nice middle of order. Three guys with All SEC / All American profiles. Montgomery is an experienced star player.

We need this dude

Solid outfield if Lemonis could get Montgomery to come in

We've had a few players transfer TO Delta State. I can't remember any coming to us from there. They're a great program but honestly I can't remember them having very many players I would want at MSU since Edwin Maysonet played there. And that was a long time ago. That said, if they had a catcher that wanted to come in for a year or a solid relief guy I'm open for it. Haven't that being a possibility this year though.

Yes! And I would keep an eye on Gonzaga's third baseman. He may be Alford's competition.

Yeah Todd keeps moving the goalposts on Alford. First it was "he's going to transfer", then it was "he'll be interesting to watch in summer ball this year". When I asked him if that meant Alford was going to be our 3B next year, he said he'd either transfer or be replaced by a Portal guy.

Now we're scouting uncommitted Portal guys to "compete" with Alford, implying its his job to lose.

Seems to me Alford is going to be our 3B unless we get lucky with the Portal. But SEC ready 3B are kinda hard to get.

Alford is a mediocre hitter, awful defensively, and is a locker room cancer. Anything short of being forced to transfer is a fail on Lemonis imo

Do we know for sure he is a locker room cancer or is that just a rumor ppleiole have run with?

We're trying. He knows the deal. But we can't technically force him to enter the portal or transfer. I still expect him to leave

So what am I missing besides his pic looks like he throws sidearm (which is definitely cool given there are not a lot of them). But the link states the following:

"Hawkins made 13 relief appearances in debut season at Nebraska. • Went 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA. • Totaled 11 strikeouts in 10.1 innings."

My thoughts are haven't we grown too accustomed to 6.97 ERA pitchers?

That is from 2022. His stats this year are 44.1 IP and a 2.23 ERA.

Probably just a rumor. This is an 18 year old kid. Probably dominated everywhere he has played until now, team has a vacuum of leadership. Maybe he made a play at being the Man, or something like that.

It's a shame MSU does not have 21 and 22 year olds that can guide the younger guys.

As of now- no.

Second hand rumor but apparently Alford was told that we are bringing in a third baseman during his meeting at the end of the year with Lemonis and Alford apparently told him something to the effect of "that's fine I'll beat him out."

So we'll see if he can do that or not.

Losing can make people frustrated and angry too.

We don't know whose fault it was that the fights started and it could have been Alford or the pitchers. If Lemonis didn't think he should be back I don't believe he would be allowed to have the opportunity to do so.

Tack it to the Top if necessary.

Full disclosure: I was guilty of straying as well.

Nah... Let this one run wild for all I care.
Once the CWS finishes and pieces fall more into place, including our new pitching coach. I'll create a thread like I have done the past few years... Tracking the 2024 Team and will update transfers out and transfers in..and breakdown , draft prospects..and whatever else.

tell then, yall have fun.

If that?s true, he earned a little respect from me

Slate Alford is in the portal.
