State of MSU at the Midway Point of SEC play

[Pancho]

Once again you are comparing football coaches to baseball coaches. It is completely different because of their recruiting cycles and also because of how potential replacements view the position. Moorhead had players fighting each other. That's not happening with Lemonis. Arnett had outside influences running the program and it was actually worse than Moorhead. Again- we don't have Lemonis listening to high school coaches for advice and Ron Polk meddling with things. That was what was going on with Arnett but with football coaches. We are going to probably be at worst a regional bubble team which is a far cry from a dumpster fire like football.

We have an upperclassman laden team. That's the primary reason why the freshman haven't played a lot. You may not see a ton of freshman playing a lot because of the portal. Stevens will be very good. Dotson will be very good. Makhai Grant had Tommy John and if he recovers he will be very good. Highfill has been injured. McKenzie was never going to beat out Hines. Cupp has been hurt but should play more soon. Mershon and Chance are essentially sophomores. When we add in more freshmen next year like Henry Allen and Dante Nori and hopefully Conrad Cason we will have enough talent to win like we expect. The talent we have now isn't bad- but some of it isn't being used properly. Especially Stevens. When that happens players will not be maximized and to the untrained appear to be "not talented".

I am only asking but which ones are supposed to replace hines and DJ in the batting order and produce?

^^^ This all day. Those players are not currently on the team.

For that, we'll need to hit the portal hard for the next Brayden Montgomery, Billy Amick, Tommy White, Colton Ledbetter, Sonny Dicharia, etc (and preferrably two of these types). Surrounding a couple of these type transfers with Mershon, Chance, Cupp may allow for the M over S to field a competitive team next year offensively.
