I've already hashed this out, during football season and a few weeks ago on this board about baseball, when I said we'd be a national seed next year. I get it, many people don't agree, but you're all going to find out during the 13/14 school year.

Whoever made the post comparing the two seasons made a valid point. We simply weren't good enough to beat the best teams. This year, in baseball, we are living off this RPI stuff. We've beaten Florida, that's it. Beat up on a bunch of average teams. Yes, we are above average, but we are simply a Top 25 team this year. I said differently earlier, but now the picture is clearer. Things could have been different had Evan Mitchell and Brandon Woodruff produced, but they didn't. It is what it is. I knew this team would rise or fall with Renfroe, and they have. But we just don't have all the tools to make a serious run.

We have veterans returning all key positions next year for both the football and baseball teams. Let's just let Ole Miss have their moment.....this was their year.

Just remember I said this a year from now.
Let's see, we lose pollo, and Graveman. Not earth shattering losses, but still 2 solid pitchers. Then we lose renfroe, both catchers, and Frazier more than likely. I pray someone doesn't draft ct because his dad is eager beaver for him to go. We all know he won't be a big leaguer but it would be a big loss in the outfield added to renfroe. If woodruff comes back and pitches like he is capable and lindgren gets his head out of his ass then pitching wise we could be better. Offensively, we won't be better ad could possibly see a decent drop. Just can't see next year being the year. Regional team? Yes. Cws? No.
