If Tony had stayed, he would have been fine. He has equity. Elander doesn't. There is about a 2% chance we sneak into the tournament. We wouldn't even make the SEC tournament under the old rules.
He will have trouble retaining his roster. The ones that are good and eligible will go to the draft without a second thought. Recruiting will suffer. Portal will be hard. NIL will suffer as donors Will opt out. It's the way things are in today's system.
Baseball is a different animal. There’s so many good players all over the country. Look at how strong some of the mid-majors are every year. You don’t have to have a top 5 roster to compete.
I feel like Elander - or even if it was some other name and not Elander - will be able to field a very competitive roster even if dudes do leave. Also not convinced they will but I do understand that’s the world we live in.
