2017 lineup could literally be already set:

1) Mangum, CF
2) Kruger, DH/C/LF
3) Rooker, RF
4) Gordon - 1B
5) Marrero - C/DH
6) Gridley - 2B
7) Alexander - SS
8) Stovall - 3B
9) Brown - LF/DH

That is without adding a single JUCO or freshman. If they beat someone out, all the better. Mangum/Kruger/Rooker might be the best 123 in the country, they are going to hurt you every single time out. We will only lose 3 guys off that lineup going into 2018, 4 if Gridley makes a huge jump and goes pro, I guess Gordon is a risk there too. But I figure I can count on at least 2 JUCOs to pan out from 2 recrootin classes, plus some freshmen for power.

I don't think we even need to discuss pitching. We have the talent on campus AT THIS MOMENT to do this. That's why getting a coach like Henderson is going to prove to be so important.
