So let's see on baseball.....

[Cooterpoot]

I believe James is gone. Hunt is likely gone too if he gets any kind of money. Fristoe is gone. Hancock was leaning on leaving but we shall see. Rumor is Brandon Smith doesn't really want to come back, so we'll see on him too.
We desperately need some pitching. C could get pretty scary. CF is a question mark. Skenes is going on other visits. That's not good.
But, we cleaned up on our HS guys. FR will need to contribute some.

Yeah out of the bunch listed Fristoe is practically the guarantee to leave so far. The odds with the others are not favorable however I do think we are still gunning hard for Skenes.

I have no idea what Brandon Smith is planning to do

I can tell you with 100% certainty that Luke will not be back next year. He is done.

[Hot Rock]

Losing all four of those guys should be expected. You cannot stay another year if you get an opportunity to go get paid now. You just can't. If you use up your eligibility you have no leverage when it comes to signing bonuses. You will get lowballed.

As far as Luke is concerned. I know his Dad very well and they are a great family. I have not asked him and don't intend to ask him. I hope he does what's best for Luke. You have to take care of you or nobody else will.

He gave State his all, helped win us a title and if he thinks it's time to move on then so be it. I will forever be a fan. It's up to Lemonis to be prepared for such things.

[Saltydog]

Man, I hate that. He was a very dependable player and I was hoping he'd get a decent NIL deal and decide to hang on one more year.

I certainly hope thats not true. I think it would be a decision he will regret the rest of his life starting about 5 years from now. He has the rest of his life to go work at a job day after day after day after day. While the demands of being a college athlete are high- so are the rewards. Never having the crowd cheer for you and scream your name again becomes something you miss very much, especially the farther you get away from it.

Not to mention coming back and playing for a winning team beats going out on a losing team.
