Not a big loss according to who? The people that signed those 20 in the first place and think they have all the answers now?

The people that pushed them out, did you not fricking read what I wrote?

ETA: and as someone who watched them cycle through pitchers at breakneck speeds all season, I don’t consider any of them a huge loss. Even the one they wanted to keep.

Don't get so butthurt simply because you had the numbers wrong. It will be ok

Read the second part of that post I just wrote. Maybe it is a bigger loss than they think. If you supposedly picked 20 wrong in the first place....

It’s nice to know that Jay obviously knows how to win in this current environment. We are so lucky

Meh feels like you’re disgruntled because you supplied incorrect information.

20 innings is much less than the actual 113 they will be losing.

I agree in today’s world of college athletics it’s probably minimal.

I can guarantee at least half were processed because they think they can replace them with better arms in the portal. they see them pitch at practice for a couple years and then they end up deciding that they won't develop into anything better than what's in the portal already developed, for the most part.
im sure they will also take a shot on some guys with higher upside than what the guys they are trying to develop have,even if some aren't developed yet that are in the portal.

i would rather take guys that are already developed instead of high upside guys but if youre replacing a high number ,it will have to be a little of both

It's great that it's happening to Tennessee, but with only 36 roster spots, you are not going to be able to carry as many pitchers as they had.


Yep. You better get 15 solid arms, 3 catchers, and a starter and a backup at every other position moving forward.

Coach Tony Vitello owning the first page of the board - on an LSU message board mere days after LSU won a title.

Coach Tony V. absolutely pwns the mental midgets on this board.

OO understand you are talking about the process and not the individuals, and everyone must admit that tony v is an amazing recruiter. But reading this thread, the people passing this off are crazy. 20 of 24 is a huge deal. Even for a great recruiter.

The question is now can those guys be replaced with championship level kids. That is the goal at Tenner. That is one hell of a number when that is your goal.

This whole thread should make people listen to Jay’s words more. “He is a better person…”. Recruiting the right guy is more important these days. If the most talented guy is an arse clown, then let him move on.

In that Vols thread I saw weekend relief next to at least 7 of those pitchers entering the portal and they’re pretending there’s only 1 guy they’re losing of value?

Ok

Coach Vitello has processed the guys that cant meet his standards, there are few who can. He's putting together a staff of absolute shutdown arms and the other teams are the mongrels under Coach Vitello's venetian marble topped mahogany Chippendale dining table fighting over the scraps of his dry aged prime tomahawk ribeye.

These threads are the saddest of weak flexes.

Jesus christ dude...so he was horrible at talent evaluation? Give it a rest.

Would you cup his balls while sucking him off? Seriously, you are pathetic.

100%

Dude has a wealth of knowledge regarding LSU baseball. But he acts like a pretentious cuck with an opinion that is far superior than anyone else’s thoughts.

I enjoy the information he brings but cringe when I see the way he carries himself on a message board.
