Yeah the Covid eligibility stuff has me confused as well. I know we lose TA and Rowdey, which sucks. We return Kam, LoTan, Forsythe, Mule, and Clark. Not sure about Hancock. Debrule is gone I believe since he's like a 6th year Senior. Sims is back, but I'm not sure about Bednar and MacLeod...
I know that was about as clear as mud, sorry. Maybe someone else can tell us exactly
For Sure Gone
Rowdy
Debrule
Allen
Bednar (high draft pick)
Koestler (would he play another year of college ball?)
Price
Who Knows (either draft eligible or seniors who might stay another year)
Hatcher
Self
Hancock
Macleod
Leggett
Cerantola
Tullar
Pimentel
There's only going to be 20 rounds of the MLB draft this year, if I'm not mistaken. There were only 5 rounds last year.
I know Hancock has said if he gets drafted he's gone but I'm not sure what his draft stock might be. I wouldn't think it's all that high. Kind of a tweener. Good but not great catcher. Not really big enough for a 1b at the next levels either.
I may be wrong but I'm thinking Kameron James is draft eligible this year too.

So our whole weekend rotation is gone? Yikes. Better hope Fristoe figures it out. Sims may have to start. Who else do you guys see as potential starters next year? Cade Smith?
Who will replace TA and Rowdey in the outfield? Do we have a true first baseman in the fold next year?
I hope Sims does start. I think we're not maximizing him in his current role. If he wants the chance to prove himself for big money, he'll start.Quote:

Next year may be tough
Fristoe absolutely will be a weekend guy. Cade Smith will be as well.Quote:

Our pitching should be fine but we got to get better at the position players. We 100% need a bat to transfer in. An impact type bat
Self is done. That's how he's able to be a first base coach. He's a student coach his eligibility is exhausted when he did that.Quote:

We should own the portal. If it weren't for scholarship probs.Quote:

I have a feeling it's not going to work out like that for us.
I think a lot of people on here will surprised about who actually stays. Along with who comes in.
McCants wants the college experience and he has been told he needs to get bigger and stronger by some scouts. He has potential to come to school and turn into a high first round. None of the mocks have him 1st right now.
Mac has the same opportunity. He could come back next year and be a top of the 1st round guy with a good year.
Bednar is prolly gone. He is looking at end of 1st round this year. However, he could be a top 5 pick next year if he came back.
Hooty should be back
Rowdy ain’t gone yet.
We have some really good corner infield bats coming in. Power type guys.
Rotation should be Fristoe, Hooty, Cade Smith next year, unless we want to use Soms in one of the spots.
Future looks bright…
Really wished we could have landed the freshman LF from NWR that raked for USM.
We?ve got some pretty big question marks going into next year so will be interesting how we plug them
Not true. He was coaching first base before he got injured. We’ve had a player coaching first base for a while now.Quote:

They have leverage and they have plenty of room to improve. Another year and they could get a junior bump like we saw from Hudson, Stratton, and guys like that. It seems to me like they have room to grow and a good chance to do that and even if they don't I don't think they are going to be any worse off than they are now.Quote:

Can it be said now what Luke did to get suspended? I was always out of the loop on that
Ok I worded that poorly. The reason he was allowed to coach first and not be on the 30 man roster is Bc of what I said above. That's how he got to go on the road and continue to do games. So yeah it's true.Quote:

With statements like this, you can’t dare say anything negative about UGA or Alabama football programs. If we were in the position of being a top dog in our division or sport we would utilize a shopping list as well. I get so tired of hearing “rich get richer.” It is a fact of life, you put a productive product on the field, it will be rewarded with willing transfers. I find it humorous how statements like the one above are ok when applied to us, but Lord let Alabama get a high end transfer in football.Quote:

He will have one more year of eligibility but like Rowdey, he's done. He's not the greatest defender. Yeah, I know he has a 1.000 fielding % but pro scouts don't see it that way.
He's not going to play 1st at the next levels either (not enough power for that spot). So, while he could return and could potentially break Mangum's record, he won't be back. Will be interesting to see where he goes in the draft. He hasn't been highly thought of in the past but I do think he'll go in 20 rounds this time.
I would think Harding would want to be a weekend starter for a season. I'm assuming with his velocity he's not going to get much of a signing bonus whether he's got eligibility left or not?Quote:
