I'd be shocked if Sheerin came back.
If he got the opportunity to start, I think he would at least consider it. He would still have leverage and if he hit as a starter, it would definitely drive his draft stock higher and the bonus that comes with that.

2 bad years under Coach O’s epic fall doesn’t negate Raymond’s multiple years of being great
It was more than just those two seasons. Remember all of the recruiting fails? He definitely had wins with Stingley and Ricks, but look how thin the rest of the room got his last few seasons. Guys like Flott, Ward and McGlothern were projects who took a while to develop, but all were forced into action before they were ready because of how thin we were.
Raymond’s recruiting since he returned has lapped what he was doing from 2018-21. It’s not even close. He’s landed multiple high level CB recruits and some really strong portal additions. He completely rebuilt the room from one of the worst defenses we’ve ever seen in two years.
We all know Raymond is an elite CB coach and recruiter. But for whatever reason, we weren’t getting his absolute best before he was let go. We are now.
It may not have been the good decision by BK to let him go in retrospect, but it ended up working out the best for us in the end. The reset that was part of him leaving benefits us today.

I could see Evans moving to the pen and perhaps even preferring that move.
I don’t think there’s a chance in hell Evans stays here if that’s the plan. Next year is his prime money year. He’s going to want to start. If he’s told he won’t, or even if there’s a chance that he won’t, then I think he will at the very least enter the portal and evaluate other options. If the staff brings in 2 established starters for an all-out battle; then 1 or 2 of this year’s starters are likely leaving to lock down a starting job elsewhere.
Schmidt is in the same boat. Unless 5 for 5 officially happens and they can retain some leverage after next year, both will be looking to start in their next draft showcase year.

Putting him in the Sunday role to start the season doesn't mean he was third in the pecking order. Of the three weekend starters, he was the one being asked make the biggest jump.
Fair enough, but I believe he would be first in line to lose his job. Evans has a lot more SEC experience and has flashed elite skills enough that I think that, if guys start asking questions based on portal moves, he’s going to get more of a guarantee than Schmidt would.
With Moore it will depend on his recovery, but like you said, he is stable and consistent and we lacked that this season, especially once he went down.
I think Schmidt has the upside to become better than Moore and challenge Evans, but he also has a lot of developing to do to get there. And he won’t have the luxury of waiting until the offseason for the staff to see how he looks then. He would have to enter the portal and then evaluate opportunities quickly because teams aren’t looking for starting pitchers all Summer.
We’ll see how it works out. I don’t want Schmidt to leave. I can just see it happening based on what portal moves Jay and Yeskie make.

Based on fricking what?
I could see Schnidt leaving if Jay goes out and gets an experienced starter in the portal. It’s pretty clear he was always 3rd in the pecking order. Sheerin could already push Schmidt if he doesn’t leave for the draft. If a guaranteed starters comes in, he’s the most likely to lose his job.
But if this doesn’t happen, it seems unlikely he would leave.

You could quote my entire post. I said 1-2 starters and a wipe out reliever. 1 starter if Moore is an option, 2 if he's not an option. I already feel like I explain too much on here so I apologize if you think that means I'm sleeping. I'm not sorry for wanting 1-2 more front end starters, with a big question mark on Moore.
My point was that you said you were glad Schmidt and Evans will be back. If we go out and get 1 or 2 experienced starters, at least 1 of them won’t be. We can’t expect them to stay if they likely won’t be starters.
I think Schmidt has a high upside and he did improve a lot year over year. But that’s not guaranteed and I can see bringing in a lock down starter to challenge for his spot and leaving it up to him as to how he will react to that.
Moore leaving in the draft would change this whole equation, but it doesn’t look like that’s happening. Projections are for him to be good to start next season if it was just a stress fracture.
I do not want to lose Evans. I know he struggled adapting to being a starter this year, but we’ve all seen how elite he can be. I’m for giving him the opportunity to get on track. He absolutely has the ability to be a great SEC starter.
Sheerin also showed this week that, if he can extend now that he’s put his injury in the rear view, he could also be a legit starter candidate. When he’s on, he has elite stuff.
The turnover with the pen is pretty obvious. We will lose 4 guys guaranteed. There will probably be 3 or 4 pushed out and another 1 or 2 who may leave on their own to take a bigger role elsewhere.

It's like he reacted before he could think it through. All he had to do was hold the ball in that situation.
He could have held the ball, but he actually made a heads up play to create the situation and possibly end the inning. Then he rushed and blew the throw. But it was a smart diagnosis and the right idea.

I think we need 2-3 arms and 3-4 position players that can be difference makers from day one to go with what's returning and what's coming in the recruiting class. I'm not exactly sure how the pitching shakes out but I'm glad to have Evans and Schmidt back
If we go get 2 lock starters, at least one of those two won’t be here next year. Possibly both. They aren’t going to take demotions before their money seasons start. That’s just reality.
I’m not saying Jay shouldn’t explore bringing in an experienced starter, but some of you need to wake up. I’ve seen people here talking casually about just moving Evans back to the pen as if it doesn’t even occur to them that he would almost certainly leave to be a lock starter somewhere else.
So yes, no one should be guaranteed anything and Jay has a job to do. But there would be consequences to some of the portal decisions people here are advocating.

ETA: it is possible that he did “grow stale” or the “game passed him by” after 2019 (I don’t think so) and getting fired by Brian Kelly & the opportunity for revenge at A&M lit a fire under him. Either way glad it worked out, but I still hate the idea of Moffitt saying “gig em”
Complacency can affect anyone. Raymond was at the end and so was Moffitt.
The rabble here will anoint him their God because he pushed a bad LSU team around, but his team sure as frick didn’t do that to Texas or Miami. Even with him closer to his best today, there’s still better and younger on the market.

BK firing Moffitt and letting Raymond walk told me all I needed to know about him.
Kelly made tons of mistakes. Getting rid of 2021 Raymond and Moffitt weren’t among them. Both had been here too long and were complacent as frick. Raymond was griping about not getting promotions and the team evidently just ignored Moffit. We were almost as soft and just as injury prone his last two seasons as the next two. Almost.
The issue wasn’t firing them. It was not hiring the right replacements. At least Raymond was motivated and over any bullshite when he came back, because what we’ve had the last two seasons was NOT what we were getting in 20 and 21. As for Moffit- there are better and even more important, younger out there. We had the money and name to land someone like that and Kelly just made the wrong hire.

He turned into an automatic out by the end of the season. I'm not saying anything about his character, but he underachieved despite the injury on the baseball field. Take your morality arguments somewhere else
If other guys had stepped up more, he probably would have rehabbed longer. He came back early from injury because we needed him. Both times.
fricking idiots.

All should return.
There’s just no way Curiel and Milam come back. They are ready to move onward and upward.
Stanny and Cowan could theoretically return, but only if 5 for 5 were to happen in a timely manner. Both are 4 year seniors according to the roster.
I think Stanny is gone no matter what. Cowan could come back. With the modest velo on his fastball, he’s not going to have a real shot to make it to the majors. As such, he may welcome another year of NIL and as consistent as he is, it would be good to have him back as part of a deeper staff. I doubt it happens, but who knows with college sports today.

Yamin is a redshirt Junior according to the official roster.
I could also see him leaving to get more playing time elsewhere in what will be his last season.

CJJ is going to go find a 2nd baseman and 3rd baseman or a guy who can play both if Pearson stays at 3rd as the everyday guy.
No way Pearson is starting at 3rd next season without injuries. If he stays, he will be a sub infielder and PH. He’s just not an SEC-level athlete. And if he sees that writing on the wall and wants to play more, maybe he heads somewhere like ULL or LA Tech. I applaud him for how much he improved at 3rd, but we need better and he doesn’t appear to have another gear.
I expect 2 or 3 portal guys and a freshman or two brought in to battle for infield spots with Ruckert and several potentially in line at 1st. Depending on who stays and how it shakes out, that could be Bide, Serna, Yamin or Braun. I only list Braun last because of how much we lose in the outfield and his experience there. None of Bide, Serna, or Yamin are playing out there. Yamin was a terrible fit when they tried that.

genuinely shocked how many times the moment overcame Ruckert this season.
He’s been a lot more settled in the field over the last 3 weeks, but that play was rough. He definitely got sped up and just blew it.

Hopefully Junior Braswell with the bat and Senior Braswell with the glove. That man had some crazy struggles at the plate his senior year.
