Baseball Tranfers

[Tripp McNeely]

So Butch takes a target player, has about the same 2022 class, better 2023 class, and maybe the same 2024 class ... at Auburn. With a worse stadium, worse tradition, no championship, ugly uniforms, ugly school colors, for another small town school, and MSU has the "elite" recruiter

When is this elite recruiting supposed to kick in.

Even Ole Miss' recruiting looks just as good or better as MSU's in coming years, even with OM coach rumors and a history of epic chokes

Our 22, 23, and 24 classes are rated #8, #8 and #4

I just don't think recruiting rankings in baseball translate to on-the-field results like they do in football and basketball. Too many unknowns and too many crapshoots. Unless you hang on to a handful of top 5 round draft choices. Which isn't going to happen.

In baseball, you have to look at the whole crop and then mentally discount all the Blaze Jordan and James McCants and James Woods that are super high rated, but will never play for MSU. Some are the crazy people that like to talk to Salesmen from the Glenngarry Glennross movie.

Poor Jack Lemmon thinks he won the sales competition, then Kevin Spacey informs him the buyers are crazy people that will never actually close the deal. But Jack had been ringing the bell, for sales.

Even the mighty Texas midget that Coach34 does not like, that's a 95% fake croot. Same with the amphibian.

Baseball teams at MSU are built on middle of the class players like Pilkington and Hunter Hines, so tough to judge. So in overall, you can judge that Auburn is not behind us in any way, looking at the upper but mid-range players that both teams will likely keep.
