We've got some incoming hitters that are likely coming to school with big time potential.

Aaron Downs (slight draft risk), Trey Higgins, Slate Alford, and Hunter Hines are all big guys (hear that Yancy?) that have power potential.

You've also got Juco OF Matt Corder from Hinds CC that will challenge for CF. He hit .458 this year. Has good speed.

Yes he is.. just saying if the number is met ( which is a good possibility) there is going to be a decision to be made. I know this for a fact..

I think he's being brought in to challenge Skinner for the CF job.

It's ok for Kace to go. I know why his juco stats were so good and why he didn't do a whole lot in starkville, i'll just leave it at that.

Talking with scouts and only 20 rounds very doubtful he gets drafted.

I watched Corder play in person many times this year. He's gonna be a good player, may take some time to adjust to sec pitching but he has the tools and can run.

I'm pretty sure this guy was a problem for us when we played them and Polk raved the whole game about him,

Don’t be surprised if McCants is in Starkville next year. He was a 1st rounder, but has slowly slipped down. With the Natty, it has become apparent that he really wants to come to school and play against his brother.

We are getting to the point where Lemonis is just reloading with “his” guys and not just filling holes. It’s a new era…

Yeah I've heard we have a real shot getting mccants on campus. He would be a big pull.
