There's still things working tgat could get us a gods portal. I think even a top 10 portal class. Just have to see.
Frankly we need a top 3 portal class to hit our goals next year.

No 3B. Need a bat in the OF or it'll probably be Hujsak with his .227 average.

I've broken down the pitchers before, it's something like 10 SEC innings of pitching we return and that's being generous. We need 3 starting pitchers (and it's unreasonable to expect any of Loo/Loftin/Holcombe to make that big of a jump, let alone 2 or 3 of them). We need relievers. Realistically it's about 6 innings of SEC serviceable pitching and 6 innings of well above average SEC pitching we need from the Portal.
