*****Portal Watch

I like Frederick, but do we like the other two guys?
I’d say Robbins is probably a pretty coveted bat around the country. His slash line this past season was .422/.537/.622 - Big East, I know, but still.

I’m still looking into Mack but looks like a dude from what I’ve seen. 97+ as a freshman Ace and looks the part.
 
UT looking for a starter. In the mix for Luke Dotson from Miss St.

Looking for relievers. Kennesaw St guy in the boat and in the mix for Brady Frederick at ETSU.

Prioritizing catchers. Two names emerging are Notre Dame’s Carson Tinney and Bowling Green’s Garrett Wright.

Stanford SS Temo Becerra is another name to watch.
Tinney would be an amazing pull

I think we’ll see more pitchers from the portal than position players

Don’t think Tony and Frank want a repeat of what happened this year with the pen
There’s really no way to sugar coat it the bullpen this year was bad. I think even Tony and Frank were maybe even surprised at just how bad it was. Like you, I think they are making pitchers their top priority.
 
Maybe I'm being somewhat pessimistic after the most recent series loss, but it seems like we're going to have to hit the transfer portal a little harder than normal in search of some impact players to fill in some gaps on next year's roster.

Up to this point, roster construction had been top notch under Coach V so I fully trust him and his staff to get out there and find some dudes. There should be plenty of playing time available for any incoming transfers.

Him or the Rutgers pitcher that is on campus today.
Don't think they would affect each other too much. Have not watched the Landon Mack (Rutgers) any but he was a starter as a true freshman there. The ETSU pitcher doesn't have the stuff to be a starter but he has that submarine motion, throws strikes, and goes length. Think very lite AJ Causey type deal

Yeah I’d be shocked if Frederick wasn’t already done. Him and Rhudy will be two huge bullpen pieces next season.
