    There wasn't a Paul Skenes in this portal class for the mound. Montgomery was a weird situation where our coaches got misled a little bit and not by Braden. We got two potential rotation pieces in Stephens and Ligdon. We needed a third baseman and we got Kohler. We got Cam Schuelke who is a non-traditional JUCO guy who will be a big addition to the bullpen who dominated in the Cape. We got several guys through the draft that could help us out or will be big additions for us- Luke Dotson, Dylan Cupp, Nolan Stevens, Makhai Grant (injured but an elite talent), Jackson McKenzie, and Paul Spalitta. Montgomery would have been very nice to have but he isn't essential. Personally, I think he made a mistake because he could have been surrounded by Hines and Dakota Jordan in the lineup.

    The biggest thing we needed was a pitching coach. We got a guy whose pitching staff finished ahead of Wes Johnson's this year and was one of the top staff's in the SEC. Believe it or not- and you don't- but we have some very talented arms that just need coaching. Holcombe, Loo, and Loftin are all MLB.com top 200 draft picks. Two of those guys will almost no doubt be in our rotation. We're not going to get three MLB.com top 200 talent guys through the portal like that.
    We needed a Friday guy and you admitted so back in June/July. I broke it down then, almost every SEC team got better arms then we did from the Portal. It was a complete failure. Even that 3B you mention is the 3rd best 3B transferring into the West
