Burns announces he is back. He has the stuff. He was coming off injury from a few years ago. He could take a huge leap forward. Didnt park say in pre season that he had friday night stuff.

Got a Friday night slider w what is currently Thursday morning command. Hope he takes a jump.

Truth!

[StateDawg44]

To the surprise of no one, Ross Highfill has entered the portal.

[bigbub50]

McPherson back. I bet Charlie is meeting with these guys and transfers on campus now hashing out the cash. Other big fish we are waiting on that’s on campus. Ace, foster, Sullivan, Frye, chance, stallman.

[StarkVegasSteve]

James Nunnallee has committed

[bigbub50]

Lots of Virginia transfers committing according to the twitters.

JP said that Burns is a "Superstar" in the making.

The dudes that were called out were:

Burns, Foster, and Duke Stone. They were called the future SEC staff. Honestly, seems that McP is ahead of all them them as of this writing. McP would be my top Candidate for Fridays in 2026 from players currently on the roster.

[HoopsDawg]

Tomas Valincius and Chone James also.

If TV makes the expected jump from freshman to sophomore, he and Foster will battle it out for the Friday spot with the loser being the Saturday or Sunday guy.

Are we gonna need another 1B with Stache and Stallman coming back?

I think he could play LF or 1B for us.

The pitching staff is gonna be disgusting.

Yep

[Coursesuper]

Yep

Need more quality depth to go with this front line. But it looks very nice so far.

[Coursesuper]

Yep

Valincius kid has almost a 1.3 whip as a freshmen, wow.

Lefty that can hit 94 on the gun. Wipe out slider.

He's a good un! Reminds me of the Polk days. Ron always seemed to have a nasty lefty in his rotation.

Agreed, but looks like all the ducks are starting to align for us.

[StarkVegasSteve]

So just to recap so some don't have to scroll through the thread, we have picked up:

Tomas Valincius-LHP UVA
Vytas Valincius-OF/1B Illinois
Chone James-UT UVA
James Nunnallee-OF UVA


And I wouldn't be shocked if Eric Becker(SS) and Aidan Teel(OF),both from UVA, don't announce in pretty short order as well.
