It would be a real shame to get the Holly Springs Salamanders Leadoff hitter who is a UTIL player

We will be fine
I agree, but I think for some not being over the moon about projecting at two power spots = mad/upset/worried they won't hit.
some are mad/worried/upset tho....that's the issue. haha
I think it's certainly fine to question replacing A Mak and Pennington's production with unknowns given the other unknowns with the lineup relative to power.

I certainly see a case where Jaros and Ossenfort pan out but we've just not seen that profile at State (outside of Truitt) so it's hard to feel 100% confident in the projection. Surprised that's a controversial take.
Its not a controversial take. Its just that you can't say anything semi-critical without the thought police coming in Wilmwolf and CLTwolf
This is your best retort? No stats, facts? Anything?

Nope, I didn't think so.

Your first post on the commit thread for Ozzie was more than "semi-critical" but thankfully you found the time to edit to something "semi-critical". You couldn't just muster up a "welcome to the Pack!" and move on to the other threads where the discussion was taking place to offer up your infinite wisdom? No bc that would mean you'd have to have an optimistic and welcoming bone in your body.

Travel ball must be hot and heavy this week. L O L


Great post!
It's not negative bud. It's just called being real. I am far from negative.

Saw this blurb on a south carolina site- i guess Orfi just wants to go pro ASAP

There's been quite a bit of talk about JUCO infielder Luke Orfi, who temporarily changed his Twitter profile to reflect himself as a South Carolina commitment. Barring an unexpected change, Orfi will not be a part of next year's Gamecocks team. It is expected that he returns to junior college next season and go through the MLB Draft process next year.

A lot of projecting
Well the good news is Chris Hart is one of the best in the business at it.




I feel like every off season we do the thing where we forget that.


"We" get abnesia midway in portal season in all 3 sports … it is exhausting.

Got Lyons

gonna have potential to have 4-5 guys in the lineup that can steal 15+ bags next year. love the athleticism that is being added this year. gotta trust Hart to coach them up.

Did he announce? And he was listed as a catcher out of hs. Caught in 11 games this past season. Will him and Sosa battle it out or where do you see him playing?

from everyones favorite, cory smith. from the free board, so safe to post IMO.

"NC State is building a roster full of potential this offseason that should lead to both healthy competition and depth across the entire roster. Still expecting a few more to jump in along with multiple JUCO players who have already told the staff they're coming."

A different approach this year vs last that is for sure. Could be boom or bust. We will see …
Would like to see us add a weekend arm.

Going to be really interesting to see how things shake out after the draft. I don't see Head or Fitz-Gerald not starting from day one if they stay on campus.

We could end up with Lyons, Fitz-Gerald, Nixon and Heavner for two spots. Nixon could be moved to a UTL role but his bat plays better at 2nd than a corner OF spot.

Avent doesn't do this but platooning Heavner/Nixon also makes a ton of sense if Fitz-Gerald doesn't make it to campus.

I think Nixon is a future 300 hitter that you park in the leadoff spot.
