You talking about that PG X post? I saw that too but I am guessing it was just wrong. It had him as 2027 too.

yes
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Hankerson only got 46 at bats this year for FSU but hit 2 HR.

A switch hitter with some pop. I think he's intriguing and from Tampa area where Hart has recruited well.

Bio says he majors in engineering and Mom went to UNC. Don't know if we'd take one from Link with JT on staff and his relationship with EA but I think he could be a guy ready to blossom.

James Hankerson Jr. - 2025 - Baseball - Florida State University

It's an interesting dynamic with JT on staff, but I feel pretty confident that Link would take someone from us if the opportunity presented itself.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.

Hankerson is a big kid-watched him play a lot growing up

FSU has a ton of young power hitters - not surprised he is leaving

I understand the "less talked about" sentiment but I think Eric Becker is regarded as a top 10 player in the portal...
