    I'm sorry, but I think they're right. We just try to find ways to justify why we aren't recruiting at that level. There's really no excuse for it.

    I think they are coached better from an offensive standpoint. That has zero to do with their size. The way to fix it is the same way we fixed the pitching issues last season.

    Some of our all time best players were little guys. This is ridiculous.

    Agreeing with you Todd.

    NIL. You gotta play the game to get the transfers and the vast majority of this board said they won't do it.

    So If you don't want to be part of the solution. Look at yourself in the mirror when you ask why TN has better transfers...
    Yup. Then people trying to rationalize how righteous they are by not embracing NIL like that will help anything.

    Several posts about player size. I was responding to that. I didn't miss the point at all.

    We have a 1st rounder in Jordan
    We have a borderline 1st rounder in Jerk
    We have an All-SEC pitcher in Purdue who will also be drafted
    We have the 5th all-time school HR hitter- who will also be drafted
    We have a CF’er hitting .350 that will get drafted
    Our SS is going to be drafted and has only made 2 errors all damn year
    Our RH’ed Closer will be drafted
    Our Friday night guy to start the season now pitching in relief will be drafted

    That’s just the for sure ones. This pissing and moaning that we don’t recruit very well and have little talent is kind of moronic

    Yeah you don't win 20 games against sec teams with a lack of talent.

    I was at the championship game today and UT players look bigger than LSU players too. Even Tommy Tanks.

    UT reminds me of the roid players from the 90s.

    Now we know why he hasn't been called up. Just a little guy who played at MSU.

    Who is begging? What does that even have to do with my comment? We are telling you how it is and saying dont complain when the outcome is exactly what we are telling you for 2 years now. Right or wrong that is the way it is

    Jordan won't be a 1st rd guy and now go compare us to the best SEC teams. We aren't as good. Hell, LSU will have more guys drafted than us. Our talent isn't strong.

    We are improved over the last two years no doubt. But we are so up and down, we lack clutch hitting so much because we can't get everyone on the same page. I think we lack depth and not having some backups is a problem.
    I hope we make a change or two with our staff. I think we are around 6-10 in the Sec. That ain't at all bad but I do think we can do better. I'm anxious to see how we play in the regional. Lord knows not making at least the championship game will be a let down to me. 2-2 was ok in Sec tourney but with a clutch hit here and there would have put us in championship game.

    If we have all this talent you listed then you think they could have done a little better than miss the postseason twice and be a 2 seed once in 3 years.
