Dont forget about Grant in this Freshman class. Yes he will be coming off surgery but he was very highly rated. We have arms returning next year that should be fine and ready to ball.
I just think the "we're gonna suck next year" is in the same category as Lemon has lost this team or Lemon cant improve the team coming into this year. It's people guessing when they really just don't know.
COrrect you didn't say we'd be "better", that's sloppy wording on my part. I understood you meant wed be roughly the same next year. But a LOT of those names you mention currently cannot hit non-con pitching.
Like who's the proven hitters coming back? Mershon, Chance, Highfill (does he come back? I have no idea). That's it isn't it? We need 2-3 hitters that can't currently hit to develop into SEC hitters, a stud Fr to come in and play quickly, and what, 3 Portal players that can ball? This season we got no good Portal pickups, just solid defenders that can't hit. Year before we got what, 2? Ledd and Larry?
We certainly CAN be decent next year but there's a MASSIVE amount of holes to fill. When was the last time we lost 7 of our lineup including the top 3 hitters? Pitching I'm not going to look hard at, Parker deserves the benefit of the doubt. I will panic if he gets a HC job though lol

Parker, you're 100% right. We better pay up.
That being said there is no wonder we couldn't pick anyone up. Missing the tournament two years in a row.
I think the portal will look a lot different this year if we continue to find ways to win the games we think that we will
