Wonder if he can shoot up here amongst us?

We were in the middle of a Natty run that went until June 30th. Teams that went deep into Omaha were at a real disadvantage last year with the way the NCAA opened recruiting up. Of the Final Four teams last season a combined 6 portal guys were signed: 1 by Vandy, 2 by MSU, 3 by UT, and 0 by NC State. That is less than LSU or A&M had as teams. Of course, they were sitting at home while we were in Omaha.
I don't want anyone to mistake this we me thinking we shouldn't be hitting hard right now, we should be. I just think the answer isn't quite as simple as "Lemonis missed capitalizing on the Natty in the Portal"
Excellent point on the timeline and the portal closing july 1 and our season ending June 30.

Very solid get.
Now go land Ethan Groff, a middle infielder, a catcher, and then load up on pitchers that have a pulse and can throw strikes.

Position for Samford kid? Can he play CF or is he a LF? Groff can play Cf right?

Already got Nate Chester from the Portal for 2B. Unless a sure-fire SS is available to replace Forsyth, I'd rather focus on the pitching

Looks like he played LF - but with 14 SB he could have the ability to play CF

Colton is a Yeager type hitter with more speed.
He's gonna help a bunch.

Best post of the day- we need reliable relief pitchers. Lefties and righties and a Butch Thompson arm slot guy. Even a Butch sinker man.

I agree but I do want to point out that he started out at Mizzou before going to JUCO.

I know but he's still a Juco. Those are wildcards for the most part.

There is only so much scholarship money available. Have to be specific and know the difference between, wants and needs. Have to's and would like to haves

We're after a couple pitchers and a couple position guys still. The next week or so should be busy.
-
Arms. Arms. Arms. And more arms. I think the staff knows and is working on it.
-
That is a huge grab to get the Samford guy. We may not get a Dollander, but I trust we will get some serviceable guys.

Exactly, we could have a competitive team with the position players we already have but without a bunch of new pitchers on our staff that can be effective we aren't leaving the bottom half of the SEC.

I want all those Nolan Ryan type pitchers we faced earlier in the season like that Grambling pitcher. Oh wait......
