    He was going on and on about being a Vol last year.
    He want's to be a Friday night starter.

    Guess he wants to be a Friday night starter on a team with a chance to win a championship while getting a big payday with NIL. If it was just about being a Friday night starter there is nobody in the SEC with a more wide open spot on Friday night than MSU.

    Teams like LSU, Vandy, Tn and Arkansas have a little advantage, they are more consistent than us right now. We are going into 2024 with a big question mark.

    Not if we land burns and the AL kid. We go in as a favorite to win the league.

    True but getting both is very questionable. We've lost some Mo lately and that is my concern going forward. Players like consistently with winning.

    True, we are a big risk right now to a lot of these players after what has happened he past 2 seasons. Even when teams like LSU or Arkansas or Vandy have not been at their best they have just slipped to the middle of the league, not to the very bottom like we have the past 2 seasons. Going to take a really good sales job to convince some of these high end players that we can jump back up to the top half of the league over the next year or two.

    Yep. Pretty sad situation being near the bottom. Shouldn't be.

    It's Guaranteed he would be the MSU Friday guy in 2024.

    But, when you suck, you have to manage your expectations

    Either that or a hell'uva lot of NIL money that we don't have. . . . .

    Aaaaaaaand Cade Woods from Bama goes to LSU.

    Odd that these players are so happy to go to LSU when they've never had more than phone call with the coach, and have never stepped foot on campus.

    I don't remember that name, but he's NOT the Friday night Ace discussed earlier in the thread right?

    Billy Butler an outfielder for Rhode Island just hit the portal. Hit .348 with 13 bombs last year and was all conference as an OF. Would be a great pic up to round out the OF…

    I’m starting to wonder what the hell we are doing tho. We have got to find a 3B, another OF, and Atleast some pitching…

    I bet we get some commits next week.

    If I remember right this is sort of how it played out last year too. We were wondering why we hadn't had anyone commit and then we got several.

    I think we're trying to land the big boys and we're not having any luck so we're just shitting in one hand wishing in the other. Lemonis knows his job is on the line and he's grasping for straws.

    Hope so. Not impressed with last years draw though.

    Kade Woods is originally from Louisiana, and he had a 5.52 ERA this year. It wouldn?t surprise me if he is walking on. And no, he is not the Friday guy. That?s Luke Holman.
