SIAP, but Burns officially entered the portal today. Does JJ go and get another electric arm for next season?

TCU is reportedly the landing spot.

I heard it was down to TCU, Vandy, and LSU.

We will be just fine without him.

Project any news on the other portal targets?

I notice Jay commented about time lost on the road due to being Omaha (although I’m sure we’d all take that trade every day ) and I got the sense he can’t wait to get after it and get guys back on campus like our competitors have been able to do

Nothing other than that I still expect Snead to go public with his Tennessee commitment any day now.

They also got Ryan Galanie from Wofford, but he wasn't really a target for us.

They're heavy after Peebles from NC State too, but I don't think we're really in competition there either.

Any of LSU players expected to hit the portal? I imagine a pitcher or 2 may.

There will be some, because there always are. I don't have any inside info though. I'm too geographically removed to get any.

Thank you for asking here and not in the big thread.

I think Holman will be announcing for them soon as well

They're doing extremely well in the portal to replace burns and Dollander for next year

Yeah. I knew they'd get him as soon as he jumped in the portal.

My Tennessee source was hanging out with his agent in Omaha.

ETA: And they've been recruiting like Burns is gone for a while now. He pretty much ghosted them as soon as the season was over.

Yeah Vitello supposedly said on radio this morning that they've known 'Burnsey' was gone for a long while now

Is there not a character thing going on with Burns? Seems like an odd exit.

He didn't like being moved to the pen, likely clashed with Vitello and Frank Anderson, their pitching coach

Hurd will be our Friday guy. If that's an issue for Burns, he can move on. I'd love to have him, but Hurd just won the championship game and showed massive improvement as the season went on. He will be a stud next year.

I imagine we will get a few solid transfers. Jay has been a master recruiter.

ETA: I'm also curious on Grant Taylor. I hope he comes back.

I see Hurd more as Saturday guy, stockpile as much as you can and let the chips fall

And that was without a natty under his belt.

Check again.

Dude shut down one of the best hitting lineups in the league. That wasn’t by accident
