Also, it seems like several guys with considerably high ceilings but the consensus is, as it stands now, none that will be ready to make an immediate impact like a Hunter Hines.
The reason I bring it up, is that I’ve been left a little scarred by Fristoe and Tepper, so I am tempering my expectations until i see consistent performance.
Also, do we consider this class truly Lemonis’ class or does that begin with the next class?
I don't think there is a coach in the country that WANTS to rely on freshmen being impact players. If they come in, perform, and win a spot - its great. That's a gravy year of production.
Interesting side note - reading thru the list of SEC FOY since 2000 - only 3 went on to win SEC POY (Stephen Head, Hunter Morris, & Tony Kemp) and only 1 became an impact MLB player - Alex Bregman.
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""
