Mason Land transferring?

[AlSwearengen]

Wasn?t expecting that one. According to just about everyone he was the heir apparent at 2B.

Back during the fall there were 2 freshmen that everyone talked about having elite bats, Land and Kelley. Now both are gone.

[ShotgunDawg]

Meh

[Cooterpoot]

Land is a loss.

[StateDawg44]

Meh

I wonder how great he would be in your opinion if he were transferring in though.

[KOdawg1]

He was likely our staring 2B with Foscue leaving. It's a loss.

[TheLostDawg]

In the portal or do we know where he's going already

[ShotgunDawg]

Has anyone here seen Mason Land play?

Additionally, have you looked at our signees or have knowledge of potential transfers coming & asked if those players may be better?

I wouldn't worry about this at all.

[Homedawg]

Next man up. We'll be ok.

[ZedFedder]

I trust Lemonis. Was this his decision or was he asked to leave? We have had a lot in the portal over last few days.

[Todd4State]

He has had some arm injuries too.

[Commercecomet24]

We're gonna be fine. Lemonis is doing a great job getting talent. I don't know why this young man is transferring but with the uncertainty we're facing with all this crap right now I know some players(not MSU players) that are considering transferring to schools closer to home, and it's understandable

[Irondawg]

I'm assuming coaches are also having to so scholarship fund redistribution which may be affecting things

[The Federalist Engineer]

Thinking that kids are talking via how kids talk “Tik Tok” whatever

We may have a big grad transfer in the pipeline.

Imagine a 16th round type of kid from Michigan, South Alabama, or Indiana. He can’t go pro but he can come to MSU to compete for a national title.

[MaroonFlounder]

Mason Land got banged up a bit last year and was pushing for the 3B position, or at least platoon.

Meh is not the correct reaction here. He will go somewhere and tear it up. Watch what I say.

The not-Freshmen dudes that he was beating out were Meh. This is a strange loss, it had to be his choice

[ShotgunDawg]

At the level we are recruiting & our brand, we should pretty easily be able to replace him with a better player

It wasn't some great shock. We signed some other mid inf in this class we will survive.

Homedawg, is this possibly a case of home sick/not happy in ‘Vegas/doesn’t like coach/etc? Ive seen it mentioned as not being a shock a couple of times.

Yea, not sure who all our signees are coming in as infielders for the 2021 roster but looking at the 2020 roster there aren't a lot of infielders on it behind Foscue and Westburg. I think we all assume KJames will move to SS so assuming both Foscue and Westburg go pro we have 2B and 3B to replace. About all I see without Land on the roster for infielders are Tanner Leggett and Landon Jordan. I know Rosebowl in his podcast earlier this week projected Land to be the starting 2nd baseman in 2021. So now that he is leaving who are our other choices in 2021 for 2B and 3B?
