Who can also pitch. He would be like getting two players in one.

Glad to see him go. Hate to see kids let attitude get in their own way though... life is hard enough as it is

He is a true stud, been a long time since I have seen a player at Msu with Montgomery's ability. I have no clue IF he will leave or he would come to Msu but he is a difference maker.

Michael Gupton

2022's number 36 National recruit and #1 player in North Carolina in the portal. Leaving NC State. Did not play much, 5 ABs!
How could a guy with this pedigree only get 5 at bats?

He is supposed to be Billy Hamilton but faster. The bat is not developed like his defense and speed. he actually hit well at all the showcases. Small town kid, maybe perfect for MSU. He committed to NCSU for 4 years without wavering.

OM picked up a guy from Mercer today.
You would think we would want to name a pitching coach asap so we could start trying to get guys. I don’t know what the hold up is unless we are waiting on someone who is still playing…

Well if State has not already got their guy and he is still coaching a still playing team, then our leadership is more foolish and lost than I thought when they hung on to lemonheadray.
And IF State is waiting until teams are through playing before even talking to potential PC?s, then they don?t have the best interest of MSU at heart.
He should already be lined up and a date scheduled to introduce him.

Historically, pro baseball teams draft players or sign free agents based on <potential>. Colleges can not do that. The coaches don?t get to work with the players but a short time as a group in the fall and again in January. Not much one on one time at all. Projects in baseball is different than projects in football. In football, you can take a signee at 6?2? 240 LBs and by the time he is in his late sophomore to early junior year, he is at 280 to 300 LBs and ready to start on the offensive or defensive line full time his junior year. He gets most of his off-season work right on campus. A baseball player can spend his entire summer and the month of December at camps or summer leagues or at Carribean Islands leagues.

Basiel Williams (MSU recruit that never played) comes to mind, not quite a top 50 player, but was top 100.
He transferred to Nicholls and still is not hitting 250.

I would have to see someone faster than Billy Hamilton. Not saying the guy isn't fast but Hamilton is the fastest dude I have seen in MLB in a long time.
