If you have any updates - Let me know.

Mabye it's just me but I'm not that impressed with Jess Davis. Good glove, sure but we're going to need some sticks and if he's only hitting .258 against the competition he's been facing what's he gonna hit in the SEC. We've got a decent glove in Skinner but he can't hit. Why bring in the same thing?

After what Lemonis and company did this year you have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Hell, if they announced that Gene Swindoll was signing to be our clean up hitter then by all means, get ready!

Not sure how I missed or forgot this thread. Good work and thanks Scooba.

Yeah, I saw Kendall Rogers tweet on Hatcher and Cerantola. Both of those guys could be huge for us next year. I hate to lose Lovett too. He?s got a really good arm.

I can't see pimentel returning either.

Carmouche is in the portal.
-
Question is, are we going to pick up players that are better? Hopefully coming off the year we just had we can do that but I guess it remains to be seen?.

Based on the above we currently have 44 players vying for 40 spots. If all 5 draft risks don't come (which I think is unlikely), we don't have a lot of space for transfers. I'm sure we will get some, I just wouldn't count on some huge influx based on our current numbers.

What are the current thoughts on the draft risks for the top 5. I don't know anything about either but would be great to get one of Kohn or Bruns.

I've heard that people around Mobile and UMS Wright are saying that it's going to take a strong offer to get Bruns to go straight to Pro Ball. Walling, McCants, and Wood are all gone out of all likelihood. We should get Kohn. I think we get Hines as well.

I know for a fact Hines is a draft risk. It’s not expected but if the asking number is hit there will a be a decision to make

Are all of the portal players dead set on leaving, or just seeing what their options are before deciding?

The ones I've seen that are in the portal are probably dead set on leaving, especially the pitchers. Kace Gardner is the only one I could see us maybe trying to convince to stay since I don't know what our options at catcher are for next year.

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.

I believe Kace Garner is at Samford now. A friend of mine saw him at a camp or recruiting visit there last year and said he looked good with the bat.
