Hudson got worked out of the game last year by FAU and if I recall correctly he had some command issues leading to people questioning him and about whether he was an ace or not too.
I never said the guy wasn't talented or didn't have the potential to become an ace at some point. But you can't just declare he is at that point based on what he did in the ****ing Cape Cod league. He has to prove it in the SEC weekends before you can reasonably expect that level of performance.

And overall, people need to quit comparing this team to the 2016 team and saying that we are going to be awesome because "we had more question marks last year!" or "Hudson struggled early too!". Last year was an anomoly of biblical proportions. Taking the leap from last in the SEC to SEC champs requires a lot of shit to line up that just isn't going to happen on a regular basis.
