Just like every year, there will be plenty of kids go into the portal and say what you want, but Lemonis has had a lot more hits out of the portal than misses.

Dubrule- hit
Simmons-Incomplete due to injury
Yeager-hit
Larry-hit, despite what some think. He is a two year starter for us. That's a hit
Jess Davis- miss
Nixon- I would say hit. Just wasn't healthy.
Ledbetter- hit
Hujsak-hit
Tyler Davis-hit
Dohm-hit
Hoyle-still confusing as to why we took him. Always told it was a favor to Mangum. Miss
Gartman-not a hit, but not a miss
Stephen-hit
Long-hit
Ligon-I thought miss early on, but now I'm thinking he could be valuable for us
Powell-hit
Kohler- not a hit, but not a miss

I didn't add JUCO guys like Schuelke because the list would've gotten too long. That hit rate is much lower though
Dubrule: A
Simmons- Injury, No Grade
Yeager: A+
Larry: B, was a good prospect
Jess Davis: D, why get a 250 hitter from UAB?
Nixon: B+
Ledbetter: A+
Hujsak: A
Tyler Davis: A, but got Foxed in 2023
Dohm: A, survived Fox
Hoyle: No Grade, Must have been a self financed player
Gartman: B, until he was completely Foxed
Stephen: A+
Long: C+, desperately needed a catcher
Ligon: D turned into C to B
Powell: B
Kohler: C, would not play in most MSU teams but have no other options

Yeager, Ledbetter and Stephen could help any team in the nation.
Dubrule, Hujsak, Dohm, and Davis would be quality on any MSU team in the last 20 seasons
Nixon would be an A, had he stayed another year
Ligon would an A, if he sticks for a big 2025 role

Fox messed up Gartman, Hardin, and Davis in 2023. Like he messed up Stinnett, Hunt, Fristoe, Tepper, and Cerantola. We can say with confidence that Hardin and Davis are radically different players with Parker, just imagine Parker's bump on huge prospects like Fristoe and Tepper.
