Quote from: talley on Today at 07:00:31 pmI agree with Stovall going down but you also want him to get as many bats as possible. I feel like he's always coming up with two outs though. I'd prolly go holt white mcglaughlin Stovall aloy white diggs dh wilmseyer

I'm so confused

Quote from: Philip Seaton on Today at 05:15:01 pmReally? Coaches want 13 just in case of injuries alone.

People are getting their panties in a wad because this process is taking time, but it hs playing out exactly how Cal said it would play out, I.E. NBA draft. People need to chill.

It's a delicate balance. You need practice players but no one stays 4 years anymore with a big role as a senior. On our AAU teams we take 9 or 10 kids only. Have to keep the parents happy and you have to give playing time. Or you can't get any kids next year. Times are changing.

We are under a tornado watch and Cal has a lot of games

My silly post was a reaction people already ranking portal teams (like us in Top 25) but after Muss team this year coaching is really on everyone's mind.

I mean Muss, Cal and Pope are in massive rebuilds and every win or loss will have even more fan Annalise

As was pointed out, Cal having so many of his people should be huge

Yes, I know...I should just ignore these butt-monkeys.  But when I saw this come into my YouTube feed, I figured that there was some news about Arkansas and this kid.

Well...there was.  Just not what I was expecting.

Team OPS and SEC ranking since 2017:

2017 - .828 - 2nd
2018 - .884 - 2nd
2019 - .882 - 2nd
2020 - covid
2021 - .869 - 1st
2022 - .861 - 5th
2023 - .857 - 11th
2024 - .834 - 13th

2017 was Vitello and Elabder
2018 was all Vitellos recruits
2019 was all Vitello recruits except Ezell
2021 started to become more mixed
2022 was mostly Thompson recruits
2023 was all Thompson
2024 is all Thompson

Quote from: onebadrubi on Today at 07:11:06 pmIt was a relatively small number of "dudes" wasn't it?   And they developed or grew into it, I do t know enough to say he got them there with competing with sec type schools recruiting them

It was a 6 man lineup but those 6 could hit.  They also had a stud pitcher that shut us down and was drafted high.

The oldest NCAA football players are:

Mike Thompson, who became the oldest football player in NCAA history at the age of 61 in 2009, as a placekicker for Austin College.

Joe Thomas Sr., who played as a running back for South Carolina State University at the age of 55 in 2016 and is the father of Dallas Cowboys' Joe Thomas Jr.

Ray Ruschel, who played as a defensive end for North Dakota at the age of 49 in 2019.

Alan Moore, who played as a placekicker for Faulkner University at the age of 61 in 2011 and held the record for the oldest NCAA football player ever until Thompson.

It may be at the college level

Quote from: bjeffersonhog on Today at 07:20:55 pmI see a lot of people saying Thiero is the reason he's not coming. I'm not sold that he was the decision that caused this.  I think it might have more to do with how the staff feels about Pryor and that pushed Burks even farther down the bench.

It may be that Burks was hoping he'd have Thiero's spot in the rotation and when that didn't happen, he went with an offer that would net real playing time. I'm just assuming here as I have no knowledge of what Georgetown has lined up on the wing. But Burks was believed to have been a silent commit the whole time and we still have about 6 scholarships left to fill so there is room for Burks, Pryor, Wagner and more. Even if we say Cal's cut off for scholarships is 10, those 3 still fit within that. It is either Burks tired of waiting and feels like he will get more minutes at GU or Cal has better plans in mind for the spot Burks had silently committed to.

Oxygen is really important
