NCAA Baseball Transfer Portal

True, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been visited

No, but it's not like he can schedule several in a row like Holman did. That's all I was saying

Oh for sure. It's a good thing he's not out visiting everywhere.

[Coach34]

No but you bet he is doing zoom meetings and such

[confucius say]

Yea. He's been visited too

looks like our competition for Montgomery is Stanford

Didn’t Stanford lose a few of their good players? It seemed like at least a couple other starters aside from Montgomery entered the portal. I’d use that against them.

I am not sure but Stanford is trying desperately to get him back. The good thing is that Momma Bear is on our side.

There's more to what he said than Stanford visiting/ meeting w him. Read that ever how you will.

And he has Experienced as much as he can experience at Stanford.

[AlSwearengen]

If he wanted to leave last year, has friends and former hs teammates at State, and Mom likes State, what could Stanford be offering that would make a difference at this point. Outside of guilting him into coming back, I can’t think of an angle for them.

I do not know the specifics but the longer Montgomery takes, the less confident I feel about him but I still feel like Montgomery comes to State. As far as Holman, I know the reports says that he is still undecided between State and LSU. I hear that we have people inside his circle. I am curious who those people are.

That's easy A STANFOED DEGREE !!!! one of the nations best.

Odds of him returning to Stanford to get a degree are low. And yes I know he's a great student.

[The Federalist Engineer]

You are not going to pull a talent as big as Montgomery without competition. It's like when you go out with a lady that is so hot that even police, older guys, resort staff, and security look at you like God Man. "Dude are a Russian Oligarch?"

Good Grief! I hate Lemonis for putting us in this position where we are at the mercy of 2 or 3 20 year olds to get State out of this mess. Whereas the teams we are competing with for these guys just played in Super Regionals and the CWS and don?t really need them to turn next year around. Really sad!

Note: I don?t hate Lemonis as a person. Just what he has done to this program!

damn man I hate the way things have gone the last 2 seasons but we are a player away from arguably the best line-up in the SEC. We need Holman but I can handle losing him to LSU- we arent going to win that battle very often when they have a competent coach. Not getting Montgomery would be extremely disappointing

Baseball players are much more focused on their baseball career than whatever kind of degree they could get.

Baseball players are more cerebral in general so it isn't really shocking to me to see a guy like a Montgomery and a Skenes go somewhere like Stanford and Air Force respectively and then when they hit their junior year and it becomes obvious that baseball is a viable career path go in that direction and attend somewhere like Mississippi State or LSU.

What is probably biting the PAC 12 schools is suddenly becoming the SEC's minor league in baseball.

Without USC and USC, they are not in the league of power conferences anymore. They become fancy mid majors.

Wait I thought pitching was all that mattered? Lol

In an interesting flip of the argument from earlier, I view the pitcher as the more important of 2, and you the hitter.

[Coach34]

Pitching is absolutely more important. My post didnt say different. My post talked of the excitement of landing Montgomery who is much more likely to be at State than Holman. Landing top notch pitching is harder than landing position players- and going head up vs LSU makes it even harder. While I value the pitcher- I can handle losing a recruiting battle to LSU. They are country's top program in the last 30 years
