Mizzou finally did something right! Thank God, cause I honestly didn’t want him and his shenanigans anywhere near the program. Yeah I’m petty, so what

I just have to share these 2 quotes from the Tennessee board about Tommy White

quote:
Tanks wanted to be guaranteed a starting spot at 3B and CTV wouldn’t guarantee that with Zane coming in, who he felt was a better defender. Zane’s career fielding % of .962 vs Tanks .934 says he was grounded in telling Tanks you’re likely not playing 3B but you can come here and hit and try to earn a spot in the field.

quote:
White was quietly suspended during SEC Championship in Hoover. He’s not a high character guy to say the least. His bat is stellar but I’m glad we had a super high character guy and big bat in Denton.

Is there reason to believe Ruffino has a clue about anything?

Denton was the one that smirked everytime he struck out against LSU to show up the umpire right? At least Denton can hold his chin up being a high character guy…

The only lefty bats still available in the portal from a splash standpoint and fit would be Jordan Hamberg from Coppin St and Jozsef Rohrbacher from Mercer.

I still want J.J. Wetherholt. No way that guy should be wasted at West Virginia.

Could you imagine Tony Vitello telling Tommy White he’d need to compete with Zane Denton for a spot at 3B?

Tennessee fans must think Vitello is stupid. Zero chance he pitched that to Tommy.

Exactly. And if he did then he’s not half the recruiter their fan base thinks he is

Do I have purple colored glasses on, or is this a load of crap? I didn’t get to see him (outside of highlights) at NC State, but he’s done absolutely nothing at LSU to suggest that.

Also funny seeing Tennessee talking about character

The term gets thrown around a lot, but Tenn baseball fans have to be the most delusional group of people on the planet.

They’ve never lost a recruit head up to LSU. Skenes was offered a bullpen spot. White could only DH. Holman couldn’t leave his best friend. Loer only went to LSU because we had a home super regional.

They really believe LSU and Tennessee baseball are peers.

The fact they even try to compare their program to LSU is delusional alone. A few seasons of success and suddenly they think they are the team of the SEC. The giant of college baseball is awake now. They’ll never overcome the rich history we have in baseball and they need to accept that. Doesn’t mean they can’t be a good program but they’ll never be LSU.

I was just thinking about what a great player he is and a switch-hitter and leed-off guy. I don't think he entered the portal as Jay would've been on him. Great player and what a waste at WV, you are right!
