I'm no scout but this sounds like the sane type that Jay missed on this season, solid mid-tier stats that you hope translates to SEC ball.


What do mid-tiers
Air Force
Utah Valley
Indiana State
UC SanDiego
all have in common?

That’s assuming you have that many stud players that actually enter the portal. There wasn’t a year ago.


Time to tamper.
Just kidding.
A little.

If Pearson is in your everyday line up we are in trouble. Same with Patrick.


I’d probably agree with the Pearson take. I wouldn’t make that call on Patrick just yet. True freshman that was thrown into the mix of an absolutely dismal situation.
You cannot lose Serna or Bide.
Way too much pop in their bats. They both will be studs at the plate.
That being said- what to do positionally? Jays gonna have to earn his money with this decision.
Braun is a sure starter. Bat is going to be awesome. 1st or OF.
Ruckert looks like a guy who is going to be a solid starter for the next 2 seasons. 2nd or SS.
Patrick could make that next step up. He showed flashes. Hope he secures OF position. Work to be done though.
Pearson. I had big hopes. Not nearly there yet. Will he stay around if he doesn’t see himself as a starter? Maybe not.
Don’t give up on a young guy like Clauss. Overwhelmed in his shot this season but has a great background. Freshmen become sophomores.
Seems like portal help needed at several positions. Jay has been successful at that every year but this one. I say he’ll get it done.
Pitchers. Some young guys like Paz will make the next step. Regardless of what Rantards say. It will happen.
More seasoned guys like Schmidt etc. Jay and Yeskie will have work cut out but I’d like to think at least 3-4 of those guys make the jump and improve.
Portal pitching definitely would help.

gets you terminated.


Apparently you don’t sleep well unless you can lobby for someone to get fired. Why does that give you so much energy? Were you that passionate with your praise during Jays CWS title runs?

People compare him to Saban Saban never laid an egg like this.


Saban also quit when college sports turned into what it is currently.

We put up one of the weakest title defenses in last 50 years.


2023 Ole Miss was 25-29
2022 Miss St was 26-30
Add 2024 Fla as example- lost in CWS finals to us- went 36-30 the next season.
College baseball in era of NIL and portal is a different animal so not sure it’s applicable to go back further. I do think you’ll see more and more drop-offs from good programs at various times-especially after title runs- The portal forces you to basically nail your replacements- it won’t always be automatic for some really solid programs.

I’d rather get smoked with each batter hitting a solo HR. This walking the bases loaded and letting them launch it is stupid.


But that’d still be….eh, never mind.

Not sure you can call it a zone. It’s more of a landing strip.
