Sorry
StateFan2001 said:Yeah agree. Not sure why Rob, as much as he was around the program, never asked the question. It was a pretty big deal to not have your All-American closer for the entire year.wroncsu said:
I don't understand what went on there with Smith this year. Started the year hurt apparently, then made an appearance with lessened velocity, then got in a couple of additional times throughout the rest the year where his appearances were spaced apart by like 3 weeks at a time.
Surprised we didn't hear Avent or Chrysler get asked more about his status during the season.

I did ask, more than once. Whenever I asked I was told he had injury issues.

Absolute stud. I'd assume he's a draft guy though.CLTWolf said:

I'd like us to go after grown men that can hit bombs and field the ball - give me a 22 year old D2 All American with 20 HR over a SEC transfer with 19 at bats any day.
Everyone is looking for this description but give me guys with juice, proven production, and k to walk ratios that are promising
And give me pitchers that k over a batter an inning and don't walk dudes
The older than better - 24/25/26 years old - who cares - they are pros now

Baseball already was re tooling every year anyways pre transfer portal. Half your freshman class was either drafted or cut in the fall and majority of your juniors were drafted when the draft was 50 rounds. You also had a ton of transfers or Jucos pre NIL as well.FLWolf said:
Baseball is a sport you can retool each year - there are so many good players and late bloomers in JUCO and mid-majors
Finding power hitters is tough if you do not have money - we felt that this year

Lol. Good guess!
The real point I really wanted to make is that when you look around at programs with a little less robust NIL budget than the SEC - you see a lot of old vets from lower levels with production
UNC with Madera, Bass, and Angelo all lower level guys and then Kepley from Liberty
Dom Listi from Indiana State at Clemson
Old dudes

Ryan Sprock from Elon and Cam Bagwell from UNCW both entered the portal. Saw the O'Shaunnegsy kid from Davidson entered yesterday as well. Crazy how much talent are at schools in this state.

Sprock is talented. Two way guy. Homered against us last time we played.
The relationship between staffs is very strong. Not sure if that's a positive or negative here. Avent tends to avoid taking from his friends.
I have been thinking about this some and this isn't just me trying to knock you or anyone else with the NIL/Scholarship deal but I really don't think there are that many teams doing it.StateFan2001 said:
Good grief. Going to be starting over here. I suspect we will be a year behind the curve on the new baseball lamdsxape with rev share and NIL and scholarship numbers. Next year might be rough.

Baseball is now basically a two power confrence sport with the SEC/ACC and roughly 20-30 other solid teams each year. Out of those teams how many are actually giving guys significant NIL? LSU, Tenn, Texas, A&M can only have so many guys and as we have seen this year, it didn't help all the SEC teams.
Maybe that is Avents argument with saying he doesn't need much NIL. Of course if you have a Tommy White who has a massive season you will probably lose him, but you also don't need to blow your entire budget on him.
He kinda did when he turned down 1pack for setting up a meet the team/team dinner and auction event TBFNcstatefan01 said:Jtilley said:I have been thinking about this some and this isn't just me trying to knock you or anyone else with the NIL/Scholarship deal but I really don't think there are that many teams doing it.StateFan2001 said:

Avent has never said he doesn't need much NIL.
