He can't play D for sht but he's legit one of the best college hitters I've ever seen and I've been watching a long time.

We all do. And we would have tolerated his awful fielding at 3rd lol.

Point has been and always will be that he was leaving regardless of "getting to play 3rd".

I agree with you….. he swings the sht out of the stick. He's a great all around hitter

I said the first team to make a mistake would lose. The first pitch was a hanging slider to Tommy White, so not surprised Wake lost.

I think the finals favor Florida now. They likely will not have to see Skenes.

Yep. I told some sports writers at last year's ACC tournament that he was going to be in the portal at the end of the season.

Who was it that gave White the "Tommy Tanks" nickname? Was it NC State? I do remember the shirts they sold with player names on the back said, "Tanks" and not "White."

Will never get why State fans want to go out of their way to try and always make State look bad. This isn't a Russell Wilson situation, nobody in college baseball is looking at him tonight and saying State let him get away. We would've let him play CF if he wanted. He went to a team with a higher payroll than some minor league clubs, and they're perfectly fine with his ****ty defense too because he can do stuff like he did tonight. No one has ever disputed that he's a generational talent as a hitter.

LSU coach doing a little advertising tonight. With NIL and the portal, I am afraid many of the P5 programs are just going to become feeder programs to the elite programs with the most money to spend.

They lose Lowder and Minacci for sure. Should lose Seth Keener, draft eligible SO Sean Sullivan and Teddy McGraw. Thing about McGraw is his arm injury could negatively impact his draft status. Could he be back? Would he be full speed? If I were him I'd take all the money I could in the draft this year as he had arm surgery in HS as well, I believe.

Point is, they have a lot of talent coming back on the pitching staff in Hartle and Massey. They got another local HS lefty (South Rowan, IIRC) signed that is supposed to be a tough sign and headed to school. I think that weird SOB Roland will be back along with Mascolo and other kids from their pen.

They definitely lose Wilken at 3rd. Bennett, Johnson and Cecere are in their leverage years so normally they'd probably be gone but in the age of NIL who knows.

They got the Seaver King kid from Wingate. Kurtz is back at first along with Corona and the young SS whose name escapes me.

They gonna be touuuuugh next year too. But yeah, this team was definitely generational.

Thanks, I heard it during the broadcast.

Tough way to lose for Wake and for State fans too. Great pitching by both teams. I am more of an offensive guy, but both teams pitched very well until the last pitch. The Massey kid for Wake Forest is a 3rd cousin of my best friend and just found out about it this morning. He was dealing.

I won't watch any of the Finals but two great teams.
Being an N. C. State fan builds great character!

I believe it may have been the 11.7 podcast guys but don't quote me on that. I voted for Bomby White, not that there was a vote or anyone cared what I thought. haha

They have to find a role for Corona next year. Some think it might be at second base. They also return the kid (Winnay) that played at first base tonight. He is a freshman and they are very excited about his future. He played well tonight in a tough game to become a starter. I am not sure what Cecere will do. He was hurt for much of the season (hamstring) and struggled some when he returned. They do expect to get the South Rowan pitcher enrolled and I have heard some news will break soon on some other portal players who will pick Wake. They will definitely miss Lowder. He was a generational pitcher and he showed why tonight. Wake thinks Keener may return for another year, but who knows what a kid who is draft eligible will do.

Tough way to lose, but Wake had an incredible year. Things came together for them this year and a lot broke their way.

I am the opposite. I love a defensive, pitcher's duel, so I really enjoyed tonight's game. I am probably in the minority on this one.

Tommy Hawke is draft eligible too and he's on a couple lists that I've seen but I can't imagine anyone picks him anywhere that would give him reason to leave.

Cecere is a big boy at 6'5 230 so I could see a team taking a chance there.

Kurtz back at first
Johnson probably back at 2nd
Houston SS
Seaver King 3rd/DH
Corona DH/3rd/anywhere on the INF he's needed?
Lee back at C? They also have the Cueto kid that I think they're high on.
I assume Costello is back
Hawke back
Bennett?

Scouts really like Keener and need to strike during that leverage year but like I said, with NIL who knows.

They could still field a really really good team. And I'm sure this portal commit you speak of would be a P if I had to guess. I mean just about everyone else could/should be back in the field.

I was lead to believe it is a pitcher. At this point in time, I am hearing Hawks is planning to come back. I am not sure what Keener will do. I have heard mixed information on him. Personally, I think he leaves, but as you pointed out - NIL could have an effect. It does change the equation for some of these kids. As far as Lee is concerned, he may be back. He seems to like being at Wake and he does have another year available to him if he wants to come back. They are definitely high on Cueto and with him being a sophomore, he may want more of role next year. If Lee is back, I am not sure how you keep him on the roster too. Like we saw with State, it gets tough when you have two players and only one position.

As far as Corona is concerned, he is similar to Peebles for State. He wants a starting role next year and I would not be surprised if he goes in the portal if Wake can not give him a definite opportunity next year. I do expect some teams to make some moves in back channels to feel him out.
