More good news

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.

We could also get Mack Whitcomb, who was Tomas Valincius's high school catcher.

What was Virginia's issues on not making a regional this past year? We seem to be getting or in on their best players fron the portal.

Weak schedule and lost some games to bad teams early, and they weren't able to do enough to make up for it.

Their athletic department screwed them on the non conference scheduling, giving them an RPI in the high 50s. They also had a full series at Florida State canceled, which would have improved their RPI by 10 spots if they'd just won one of those games.

The committee honestly just screwed up. They should have taken them despite the weak RPI. 16-11 in the 2nd best conference, and 3 teams who finished below them in the ACC standings won their Regionals.

Note that I'm not complaining. There's a good chance they'd still be playing had the committee let them in, and who knows if we hire O'Connor in those circumstances. We are the beneficiaries of Virginia's screwjob.

Quite a drop from a SEC program. Kind of like the landing spots of the majority of our FB players that hit the portal the last few years if they landed anywhere at all. Our recruiting by now former HC's in both FB and baseball has been seriously over rated.

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

With that kind of statement sounds like you may have some inside info on the situation?

And their series with FSU was cancelled due to a school shooting. This is all their RPI needed. I was shocked they got left out.

Our timing was impeccable. Things worked out perfectly for us for once!!!

Let's assume I know what I'm talking about.

Guy has a great NIL offer
Knows exactly what it’s like to play for this staff
Visited Austin and their campus
Has other offers

Now says he needs some time. Doesn’t look good for us

Ryder Woodson commits. Freshman middle infielder from nc state. Limited ABs but was .361, 3 HR, 15 RBI.

[KOdawg1]

Woodson should be a good bench piece who has shown the ability to produce in short sample sizes.

Go watch some of his swings from the Auburn Regional. The ball sounds different coming off his bat.

[GeoDawg]

It looks like Woodson split time at 3B and SS this season. What position will he most likely play for MSU?

2B/SS/3B

Think of a more talented Nate Chester

It won’t be 3rd

He is being brought in to play SS/2B

Decent pickup, him playing as a freshman should result in improvement next year. I also like in can play 3 infield positions.

15 RBIs is about 4 years of work for Cupp. Upgrade!

This dude was probably a UVA recruit that went NCSU and they still like him.

Well, at least gives us a fall back plan at SS if we don't get someone better.
