More good news

Well what you are missing is that the staff surely had info on players around the country already before the season ended. Then they had the week off while we were playing in a Regional to spend time doing evals because they didn’t make one. And then now this week so far to work the portal as well. Other schools are pulling in portals right and left. Auburn has 5 and just stopped playing Sunday.

Big difference when u change schools. It takes more than two weeks ata new school 34. I’m sure moving forward things will get better.
You already questioning BOC, amazing.

BOC also had to re recruit the returning player, I bet most would have left. And he probably has to reassure of the recruits we signed. I’m not sure many don’t understand transitions going on.

[AlSwearengen]

I don?t know how long Oak and MSU have known that he would be the coach, but figuring out who we needed to keep, thus, who and what we need to find is a process that Auburn, Tenn, etc. have surely been working on for awhile because they have known their needs for awhile. I?m guessing several of the players they have picked up at this point ?knew? where they were going before the portal opened and they entered it. I hope this is the case and we finish strong.

[Coach34]

I’m sure we’ll pull some good players but the clock is ticking as other big schools grab guys

[Quaoarsking]

We've already gotten 2 of the top 5 of ON3's portal rankings, with a good shot at 2 more. I think we'll be doing fine.

This is a very big point some people are missing. There is a tremendous amount of work to do just with the present roster and new signees before you can even concentrate on the portal but it all has to be done almost simultaneously which is not possible.

Well I would feel better if Becker committed. At least that would leave us with just one glaring hole which is catcher. We also need more pitching depth but SS and C are the 2 positions right now that are barren and we need a couple of studs to fill in those holes.

Becker is expected to take some time to filter thru his offers- dont expect to hear anything soon

I doubt we land Becker. Look for him to end up at Texas or return to Virginia. We need to go after Plan B at SS.

[Thick]

What?s plan b? Any ideas on who that could possibly be?

Well I hope you are wrong because that would suck. Would have hoped we had a good SS pretty much lined up before sending Buckner and Cupp out the door.

I hope I'm wrong too, but I'm not.

No clue. There was a guy I liked but he committed to Clemson. Better find one Asap.

We’re a Blue Blood that just landed an awesome Coach. Why would we worry about landing a top notch SS? He will get one because he is awesome

[Quaoarsking]

I don't know who's plan B, but I guess plan C would be Frei playing SS next year.

[Todd4State]

I don't know who's plan B, but I guess plan C would be Frei playing SS next year.

No way we're putting Frei at SS next year. It will almost 100% be someone from the portal. If we completely crap out which we won't- I bet we would go with Chone James there.

I feel OK about Becker still. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

Buyer beware- the Maryland dudes including Hollis Porter were playing in a park with 385 foot to Center Field fence. The maryland stats are fugazi. Notice that UVA is dominating the portal. So it's a good thing to have cavaliers like it was a good thing to load-up Ole Miss Rebels last year before Mangrum fixed the pitching.

[Thick]

Duke?s park is small. Is OM like 355-365 in the alleys?

Duke is regular size (325, 370,400, 370,325) talking Maryland. Their PC wants 10 to 15 more feet. They are pushing a 7 ERA these days.

I'm not going to say we will get all of them, but we are in on Henry Ford, Eric Becker, Davion Hickson, Carson Tinney, Ethan McElvain, and Bryce Calloway. Tinney was thought to be a FSU vs Florida deal, but according to Steve Robertson yesterday, Alabama and Mississippi State have entered the picture with him.

I feel confident we still get Becker. I am not confident on Ford, but I don't think he makes it to campus anyways.

As for the others, Hickson is ours if we want him. Tinney would be a great get but not expecting him. McElvain I'm not expecting and Calloway I'm not expecting.

I think our catcher out of the portal will be Kevin Milewski from Seton Hall.
