USCe starting catcher, Colin Burgess, in the portal. Pretty paltry numbers offensively but he's really good defensively.

My way too early wish list/2023 lineup:
Just thinking out loud here. This likely won't be our lineup, so don't freak out grandpas.
1. Guy Lipscomb - CF; .406/4 HR/42 RBI/1.032 OPS
2. Ethan Groff - RF/DH; .404/9 HR/35 RBI/1.212 OPS
3. Hunter Hines - 1B; .300/16 HR/52 RBI/.993 OPS
4. Luke Hancock/(or portal C) - C; .279/7 HR/32 RBI/.825
5. Colton Ledbetter - LF; .318/16 HR/57 RBI/1.047 OPS
6. Jack Pineda/(transfer) - 2B; .300/7 HR/ 33 RBI/.893 OPS
7. Kellum Clark - RF/DH; .257/14 HR/43 RBI/.925 OPS
8. Slate Alford/Aaron Downs - 3B; .209/1/3. .206/0/2
9. Lane Forsythe - SS; .273/0 HR/12 RBI/.677
Lots of big ifs here. I mean, Lipscomb isn't even in the portal yet. Hancock might not come back. Groff and Pineda haven't committed yet. But if we could pull something like this off, I'd be pretty excited.

If he's fit and Ready, he's Friday in Starkville. With Cade as a tandem, MSU has premier starting firepower
We don't need a Mendoza catcher

That is a good lineup. But how we do with pitching in the portal is ultimately going to make or break us. Gartman is a good start to go along with Cade and Pico. But we need a LOT more.

Need to throw every bit of NIL money we can at Paul Skenes from Air Force.
10-3 record, 2.73 ERA, 96 Ks, 30 BBs in 86 IP. OBA of .224.
Also hit .314/13 HRs/38 RBI/1.046.. Hit over .400 as a freshman last year.
He's a weekend starter and your DH next year if you can get him. Right handed power bat which we need. He also catches.
Throw the bank at him.

Little, Cade, and Skenes as starting pitchers could make MSU an instant national contender again
Skenes is a potential top-3 overall MLB draft pick in 2023. 6-6 and 235 lbs. He is also a starting Catcher for Air Force.

Tennessee just picked up the Kansas SS. We need to throw everything we got at Skenes. We also need to close on Groff and a least two other pitchers. Probably would not hurt to also find another infielder. Preferably 2B or 3B.

Thatcher Hurd of UCLA to the Portal. Elite Recruit with an non-arm related injury. Pre-Injury, he was awesome. Not many California dudes think about the Southeast however, Mississippi is like Azerbaijan, Alabama is Dagestan, and Arkansas is Chechnya to guys from Orange County.

Jackson Smeltz of Purdue to the Portal. Three big things for MSU.
(1) He is an Agriscience major. This is already 75% an MSU guy.
(2) LHP
(3) Staff Ace for Purdue, go look at his pretty stats.
He's a Red Shirt Junior, maybe gets drafted anyway. Purdue is just Mississippi State on the Wabash.

Isaiah Thomas OF from Vanderbilt to the Portal
The best hitter on their team from 2021. The national runner-up team, they would have been champs but ran into a Hot Buzzsaw team.
303 hitter with 13 hr in 2021. I guess was injured last year.
Maybe best friends with Christian Little, we should offer both ASAP.

This type of statement concerns me a bit. We had 4 of those types of guys on our team this year and none of them put it together. We also had Cerrantola who never put it together.

well the good news is he shouldn't draw down our NIL account very much** .... humor aside - he was a Freshman so I'm on board with taking a look.... I also am not one to say Foxhall is incompetent - anyone in any career can have an off year
OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

Yeah, until I see Foxhall develop one, I'll be a little skeptical

Those stats are still better than 80% of our pen
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

I got to say this portal season is more entertaining than our baseball season was

This is who I was talking about earlier this week.

And just to stir things up a little, get ready for some action next week.
