Yes, BOC is in communication with a few more portal guys and a SS is definitely in play.
I didn’t know there was a big one left in the portal- hopefully we are tampering
I think it’s the Cal State Fullerton SS if that’s true
There are still several really good SS left.
Not elite but with the way our lineup is shaping up, we don't need elite.
Well, we are going to have to sign a SS whether elite or not. We have Woodson who could play the position but I think he played more 3B and 2B at NC State. We have to have another legitimate SS on the roster. Jojo Parker could start there day 1 but the odds of getting him to school is probably less than 1%.

Sounds really good, gets on base and plays defense.Quote:

Lotta is a really good glove who can hit over .300 with 5 bombs and steal 20-30 bases.Quote:

Wonder if he can be the SS. Plays SS in summer ball. BOC would know his range for SS.
Pre Season All American in 2025
Trick is that he is an NYC kid, same Prep School as Henry Ford, and he is draft eligible.
Near 500 on base percentage - ideal leadoff man.Quote:

Godbout is the #72 rated draft prospect
They specifically say that he could be a SS but needs time there to prove it. One position higher than Henry Ford.

Perhaps. And I say perhaps because he went JUCO first so he may or may not have some leverage.Quote:

Just tamper and get people without entering the portal post-draft. Miami/Wisconsin case fixing to show the portal windows are a joke.Quote:
