2016 LHP Walker Robbins of Lucedale. 6-2 180
We may have recruited him as a pitcher, but he is also a pretty decent hitter as well. He hit like .385 as a sophomore with a home run. He also had 32 K's in 27 IP.
He's probably related to Mason Robbins, and I think he has a bunch of cousins they play baseball at George County too.
Here is a big one:

Gotta love rivalries. LHP Trysten Barlow, a T500 prospect, RHP Gray Fenter, ranked 55 nationally, decommit from #OleMiss, visiting #MSState.
If we get Barlow and Fenton we are top 5 class no doubt. Stud pitching class. Killer decommits for ole miss. Oh well..
Fenter and Austin Riley on the mound for Friday/Saturday isn't fair. Both Under Armour All AmericansQuote:

Maybe the new stadium layout is already paying dividends.
where are barlow and fenter from? Class of 2015?
Barlow is from North of Memphis about an hour, and Fenter is from West Memphis, AR. Fenter is the main attraction here. One of the top high school pitchers in the country.Quote:

Here's an article about Trysten Barlow. He was also a high school teammate of Paxton Stover, who is a freshman for us this year. The article is mistaken when it says that he has signed a LOI with Mississippi. He can't sign one with anyone until November.

Chase Barham seems to think that the Dulin transfer is causing these guys to decommit.
Whatever it is- I'd love to have Fenter. He's got an electric arm. Trysten Barlow would just add to an already sick group of lefties that we'll have coming through the line from 2015-2017. Robbins also seems like a good pickup from what I've seen.
Great news, thanks for keeping up with these details
But...but...but I thought that TSUN had the best facilities in the whole universe for baseball. That's all you ever hear them talking about. And Yancy says we're just trying to keep up with them and we'll never get our new field built. And...and...and they played in the CWS for the first time in a generation. and beer showers Best tradition in college baseball. Nothing to see here. Move along.Quote:

How things have gone for them since Godwin left should be a clear indication of who was actually building that team on the recruiting trail IMO, which I feel like we already knew. I may be proven wrong over time -- but the new Mike Clement hire had a lot more of a Reinstetle/Mossberg feel compared to a Godwin/McDonnell feel...
Engie, I think he was on a big time hot seat before the season-Bianco, not after a fleeting success, it has taken a nose dive. I think next year they might just be above a .500 club, then with these recruits leaving, he might be gone soon. Of course, I want him to stay bc he is incompetant to me.
This is payback for not playing the Dulin kid more than they did. Expect Dulin to screw over the bears as much as possible. This is extremely good news for our program.Quote:

One thing seems pretty evident though- UM is going to have to change how they recruit a little bit going forward. Dulin's teams get pretty much all the best local talent, so Bianco better try and mend that bridge before it gets totally burnt and forces him to recruit more out of the area. I know UM and MSU both recruit nationally for baseball, but you can't just cut off the talent from your home base and expect to be okay.
It'll be very interesting to see how UM's 2016 Dulin commits respond- because there's a few good ones that we might be able to get now.
ETA- Also, I would have liked Gene Wood as well for 2015. Other than him and Woolfolk going to Bama and UM respectively, it was pretty much a clean sweep for us this year in state- at least as far as the best talent goes.
