Who is evaluating their talent. Seems they always have under the radar guys that produce big.
That and/or they are getting the most out of their guys
I wonder if they take players later in the process? Meaning juniors and seniors in high school instead of 8th-10th graders
Hope they beat OM in the super regional
I wouldn't mind seeing S. Miss in the CWS. Now I will say that Okie State is going to be hard to beat if they can make it. Actually wouldn't mind them winning it all. Them or Oregon State
They do take high school juniors and seniors. Their recruits aren't as high profile and are generally later bloomers in high school and also tend to be more blue collar type players than the typical SEC recruit.
Do ya’ll want to be usm? They are trying to make their 2nd CWS EVER.
might check back in 2 years and see how Lemo looks in june of 24
Nobody is saying they'd trade baseball programs. But, at the end of the day, we suck this year and they are good, despite having way less resources and recruiting ranking success. Any intelligent person would want to know what they are doing better than us this season

They won a regional. It's not like they're regularly in the CWS. I see nothing special. They're recruited a better staff. We've got Foxhall.
Talk about prisoner of the moment.
1. We should stop recruiting players that are younger than juniors? We just went to five straight Super Regionals, won the SEC once, went to Omaha three years in a row and won a National Championship with players that we recruited from 8th grade on up. But one bad year from us where our pitching was decimated by injuries and we should start following USM's blueprint? LOL. Where were our fans who thought the USM way was the way for us to go the past few years? Probably sitting watching us play in Omaha while USM was at home waiting for their players to develop into upperclassmen after they got bounced from a regional. Oh by the way USM does recruit players that are younger than juniors. In fact we flipped one of them and he was their highest rated recruit in years.
2. They're in a somewhat precarious position with the portal. Meaning in the past if we misevaluated a player we couldn't come back and get Brian Dozier for his junior year. That's not the case anymore- and in fact I wouldn't be surprised at all if we end up getting a pitcher or two from them. That's going to be an issue for them going forward.
3. Ole Miss is in an awkward position with Bianco no matter what happens. There is a good chance they are looking for a new coach soon. If he gets them to Omaha he could probably stay another two years if he wanted to.
4. Our next three recruiting classes are ranked in the top 8. We'll be fine. But next year is going to be based on how well we do in the portal. Lemonis knows this. They also know that one more year like this and we're looking for a new pitching and hitting coach. They're essentially coaching for their jobs and we will be a team with a chip on it's shoulder. Unlike this year. I'm expecting us to be a completely different team next year. Unless we completely flame out on the portal which I doubt we will.
