In this time of the NIL, I believe the Baseball team will be the least effected. So much more turnover in Football and Basketball and not so much in Baseball. Yes, Tennessee has added a few pieces each season but the loss of others were just players who wasn't going to cut the mustard here. Baseball players will portal to win, football and basketball players will portal for the money. Remember Chase Burns didn't leave for a bag, he left because he wanted to be a starter...

Teams are larger. Tennessee is enjoying riches, because its an everything school.

Other schools dont make it priority. May explain why our football team is 10 in cruitin' instead of 4 or 5.

Other schools may have x schollies, partial schollies, or not match the NIL. Also, think many of guys we are after weigh living around coeds, dorm, and clean gym versus living on road making $35K in Southeastern Missouri, in Feb, March, and April.

After research, more like $45K.

Our baseball team is also well compensated. NIL really only affects them (and us in this way) in a positive manner. Other programs hate us bc we have deep pockets.

I'm talking about turnover of the key players. Name another key baseball player that has threatened to portal out? The ones that left this past off-season were individuals who was never going to see the field. I understand the WR's that portaled out weren't difference makers but they played and as @Weezer and @Jackcrevol say where are the portal upgrades...

Bo got limited reps his first 2 seasons playing behind some dude named [checks notes] Marcus Allen.

Over the next 2 seasons he got 300 attempts and ran for almost 1700 yds, at 5.5 ypc clip.

He then suffered a one time freak injury, and never played again. And was never the same on the diamond.

We’ll never know what type of NFL player he would have been. But he was a better ball player prior to injury than Deion ever was.

Bo doesn't get hurt he may have gone down as the best athlete ever. Even though it pains me to say it I think that title goes to Herschel Walker, don't talk to me about stats, he was simply a freak of nature I saw it with my own eyes.

Thank you much, Rain! I have been looking for video of Lube U’s baseball Rockettes-wannabe chorus line. 😂 It’s the diamond answer to the question, “How Kentucky is it”?

Also the Italian floors and Chinese cloisonné enamel are amazing. Prime Rain!
