I think we are in 3rd behind Tenn/LSU

A supposed in-the-know LSU alum swore up and down yesterday that he is wrapped up and done but just taking the other visits for shits and giggles. I called BS but he wouldn't even acknowledge that there was a possibility of us or UT being in the hunt. As much as I despise UT baseball I still would prefer they get him over LSU if we cannot pull it off. Just to throw it in the face of this guy.

I heard that Montgomery is staying with Hines in the cape now and will be joining his cape team soon. Seems good.

They are in the lineup together tonight. 3-4 hole hitters

[Cooterpoot]

I'll be surprised if we don't get Montgomery and surprised if we do get Holman.

[Coach34]

I'll be surprised if we don't get Montgomery and surprised if we do get Holman.

That’s where I am also

[The Federalist Engineer]

We literally can't catch a break. That's a huge loss.

That is 40 quality, relief innings pitched that MSU just lost. But the kid wanted to move on, even as a undrafted free agent.

This dude is in the portal, Zach Morris from Arkansas, big LHP. A key guy in their 2022 Omaha team.

Has Foxed-Up numbers in 2023 but was really good in 2022. If you get him to perform like 2022, it's a top relief arm.

Same. And I'm more confident in getting Montgomery than not getting Holman.

[Saltydog]

If this kinda talent is part of "the plan" then it's gonna be a colossal disaster.

They are batting right behind each other in the order

[BigDawg81]

I haven?t heard about the visit but I assume it went as expected. I would not be surprised to hear that Holman commited to LSU tomorrow.

He got a 6-figure signing bonus. Easy decision for him

That's great for him. Hopefully someone gets good, right-now we don't have a replacement on the roster with his mix of success and experience. Omaha experience. Closer experience. Upperclassman.

We do have some people in our corner with Holman. We'll see if it's enough.

[Cowbell]

This is where I've been for a month and had no hope of burns....it burns me up that we can't out-hustle wake forest for a pitcher. LSU I get, but Tennessee and wake forest should never be ahead of us. That tells you how bad we are from a coaching standpoint.

[Coach34]

Tenn with their current HC will be ahead of us no matter who our HC is

[The Federalist Engineer]

This is from a some website:

What is Holman looking for in a school? Aside from wanting to stay in the SEC, there are a few boxes that need to be checked when visiting other programs.

“Being comfortable is definitely a big thing. If I go somewhere I visit and I’m just not feeling the place, everything is nice like weight room, resources and everything, but I’m not feeling it. That’s a big factor into my decision,” Holman said. “You don’t want to be uncomfortable going into a place for a year. You want to be comfortable going in, you like the guys there, you like the coaches and you like everyone there. That plays a big factor as well.”

“Tennessee on Monday, Mississippi State on Tuesday and LSU on Wednesday. Then after that I’ll probably go to Alabama to stay at my townhouse for a day then go to Auburn as well. It’s gonna be a long week,” Holman said.

So, decision by Friday this week, at least to himself.

“LSU is just a big market nowadays. You see a bunch of people going there and just the baseball program has taken off,” Holman said. “There are a lot of great players there. Development wise you go there and they develop players really well.”

Who has his attention when it comes to the developmental aspect of things? Paul Skenes.

“They just developed Skenes who went there and gained 20 pounds and is hitting 99-102 [mph] which is insane. The development piece and how they are developing players has been awesome,” Holman said.

Honestly, I hope MSU lands Holman. But the next best thing is turn the pitchers we have into monsters. So kids are talking about Holcombe gaining 20 lbs and throwing 102. People going 1st round. The one-and-done transfer player like a Holman wants MLB centered development more than NIL money. Skenes is now recruiting for LSU. Eventhough he and Wes Johnson are not there anymore.

That is the article that i read. Hopefully, he discussed positives of all schools and they just left that part out. I think it came from the LSU/SI site if i remember correctly, so hopefully it has an lsu slant.

If we run Lemonis off, the first person that I look at is Muscara. He is the new pitcher development star.

If he is solely looking for development, we can?t offer that to him.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Uhh yes we can. Parker is not a 1st time PC. LSU has a new PC too, so if we can't use Parkers numbers at SC then they can't use Yeski's history either

[AlSwearengen]

If he is solely looking for development, we can?t offer that to him.

As I mentioned earlier, SC's pitching staff made a good jump under Parker but it isn't a big sample size and it hasn't been promoted at every turn. At the same time, Wes Johnson has left LSU but Skenes performance is in everyone's face so they are getting tons of milage out of that, deserved or not. They have Yeskie now but A&M fans were glad to see him go. Perception goes a long way.
