    Next year's potential lineup

    1. Amani Larry 2B
    2. Colton Ledbetter LF
    3. Hunter Hines 1B
    4. Bill Knight CF
    5. Paul Skenes DH
    6. Kellum Clark RF
    7. Luke Hancock C
    8. Slate Alford 3B
    9. Lane Forsythe SS

    That's assuming Hancock comes back, which is a legit possibility. It's also assuming we get Skenes which is a possibility, but not a given. It's also assuming Kam goes pro, but it's possible he comes back and if he does, you could slide him in for Alford and bump him up a few spots in the lineup. Regardless of how it all shakes out, we've got a legit lineup on our hands, and we're an ace away (Skenes) from being a national championship favorite right now.

    Fri- Skenes
    Sat- Cade
    Sun- Gartman/KC Hunt

    Bullpen- Dohm (could start), Fristoe, Nixon, Jackson Kelley (soon), Pico, P. Johnson (iffy), Cheatham, Loftin and Cjente (if they make it to campus), Holcombe, Brandon Smith (could come back), other freshmen pitchers.

    We gon' be alright.

    The portal is an awesome tool for us this season when we were in trouble without it. Still, it's kinda sad to see free agency in college baseball also

    1. Amani Larry 2B
    2. Colton Ledbetter LF
    3. Billy Knight CF
    4. Hunter Hines 1B
    5. Paul Skenes?/Hancock/Aaron Downs DH
    6. Kellum Clark RF
    7. Josh Hancock/Ross Highfill C
    8. Slate Alford/Kam James 3B
    9. Lane Forsythe SS

    Ross Highfill at catcher and batting 8th is likely the worst case scenario for the position.

    Nate Chester may have a say somewhere as well.

    I just have a gut feeling Hancock will be coming back.

    If we can add Skenes and secure at least one more reliever, this is an Omaha roster.

    1. Paul Skenes
    2. Cade Smith
    3. Nate Dohm/Landon Gartman

    Pico Kohn, Cole Cheatam, Jackson Fristoe, KC Hunt, Brock Tapper, Colby Holcombe, Jackson Kelley?

    Closer: Aaron Dixon

    Maybe's later in the year: Stone Simmons, Brooks Auger

    I'd love to have Hancock back. I think he could have a huge season

    I agree on both counts. We were toast without the portal.

    Plus it would allow Highfill and the younger catchers to ease into it and not be thrown into the fire immediately

    Hancock's a glue guy. Will hit .290 or so, good OBP, and is a solid catcher. Would be great to have him back

    Really need Hancock to come back. Veteran leader and would let the young catchers develop at a slower pace. Gonna hit ok with a little pop and good obp.

    I agree and got go give Lemonis some props for not just sitting still. I believe he had a little motivational get together with the staff after the season. Looks like it's working. Add a couple more arms and I'll feel really good.

    It's definitely a better lineup but our fellow SEC brethren are getting players just as good as we are so we'll see how it all washes out.

    I think if we can add a guy who played in the California Penal League last year, the staff will be set! ?Gimme Vaughn?
