On the mound well lose the transfers we're counting on plus a couple of the current Fr some here are expecting to be starters next year.

So, my prediction is that in '24 we'll be just good enough to save Lemo, but down again in '25 and he'll be fired then. The next coach will have to overcome a couple mediocre recruiting classes that he wouldn't have had to if we replaced Lemo in '23.
That's not necessarily the case. According to Perfect Game, our '24 class is #12 (11 commits) and '25 is #13 (9 commits). That is above mediocre - but like Football, it is behind a number of "have's" in the SEC. We will need to add to it - and there is a whole lot time between now and then. If anything, the right hire can build on that if needed.
