As far as I can tell in the incoming class, there aren't many draft eligible sophomores. Murphy, Weinstein, Christman, and Evans. I'm missing 4 birthdays though.

I think a lot of that will depend on the quality of players in the portal this year. But yes I do think he may try and get some of the high school players here over some fringe portal guys like we had this year.

I would like to get Santarelli and at least 1 of the top OFs to campus (and of course some of the top pitchers). Then, if you somehow get Milam back, you have a good returning core with him, Arrambide, Serna, and Braun. William Patrick is getting good work at the plate now to maybe be your CF next year. I think his speed is too good to leave in the infield unless it works out that way. Ruckert is getting reps to either take over SS or stick at 2B. Jay will still look for middle infield help in the portal, I'd assume, maybe a guy that could also slide to 3B if Ruckert sticks at 2B. He may also look at help from the portal in the OF. I think we'll have a pretty good core of pitchers back and, even though they've struggled, I think they make a jump. But, he'll probably fish in the portal on the mound, too.
