    I don't think it's Reese. If it's who I think it is, this one is big. Solves a definite issue.

    He plays LF/RF but can also play 1B

    Reese it is. He's a bit of a project so not sure where he fits in unless Chance is leaving. We're grabbing whatever we can get at this point anyway. His bat looks solid, just got to figure out where he plays.

    Looks like it. I was told it was Fisher or Hungate. I knew we had a good shot at Reese. Just would have preferred a pitcher since we still have two weekend starters to replace.

    I think Fisher and Hungate are a matter of time

    You have to hope so. Both are still big risks as Hungate has never been a starter and Fisher got hit pretty good this year.

    If we can blow it, we will. But I feel pretty strong about one of them.

    Thatcher Hurd is in the portal. He struggled at LSU at times but still a very talented guy.

    Hurd is in for protection post draft. Can shop himself as leverage if he doesn't get drafted where he would like. Smart decision.

    Lots of lineup options should we land Reese.

    Here's what it could look like if Nori doesn't come to school and Mershon goes pro.

    1. Chance LF (R)
    2. Reese CF (L)
    3. Sullivan DH (R)
    4. Stevens RF (L)
    5. Frei 3B (S)
    6. Stallman 1B (L)
    7. Highfill C (R)
    8. Cupp SS (R)
    9. Reeves or Pulliam 2B (R)

    BUT, if Nori comes AND Mershon returns

    1. Nori CF (L)
    2. Mershon SS (S)
    3. Reese RF (L)
    4. Sullivan DH (R)
    5. Frei 3B (S)
    6. Chance/Stevens LF (R/L)
    7. Stallman/Stevens 1B (L/L)
    8. Highfill C (R)
    9. Cupp 2B (R)

    Now, that's a lineup that can make some noise

    What are the odds of Mershon and/or Nori ?

    Have heard Nori has a good shot being here and Mershon is wanting way too much for where they are wanting to draft him.

    Speculated, but officially official....it's Ace Reese. A good piece to pickup. Freshman All Big 12.

    Mershon and Nori are linchpins. They take our lineup up a few notches, but we won't be a big power team. The pitching has to be a lot better than the options we've seen and business is about to pick up in that respect I do believe. Starting pitching carried us this season. It won't next season if we don't hit on the new arms hitting the market.

    Still waiting on Hungate and Fisher. Really confident on one, but pretty confident on both. Then again, I was certain that we would get LaPour.

    Hungate is a good one for sure

    Nori has a very good shot to be here. He's enrolled in summer classes and players generally don't do that if they're planning on signing a pro contract. He's the only one who really knows though.

    I think it's becoming more common. But that works in our favor because they get to be around the other signees and in the facilities for a week or so before the actual draft. I know a couple of nights before the draft they turn on the lights and let them all take BP in the stadium.
