Would be nice but in today’s world of NIL and transfer portal I have serious doubts that all of those players will return.

I think we lose some but not most. I think the ones we lose will choose too simply for more playing time potentially
I have a feeling that Collins, Bellard, Hebert, and possibly Mandino may transfer for more playing time. I think the others would stay. I’m sure we will lose a few pitchers as well. Excited about next years team though. The freshmen showed real progression throughout the season.

That LSU game did so much good for the program that will get swept under the rug..
The atmosphere in that game set the bar for “what could be” at the Tigue for all of these young players.
Yes its hard to get there, but if you can the fanbase into a hosting situation the vibe is unmatched for a school our size

I worked for Collins’ family member for 10+ years.. Obviously I know nothing for sure but I would be SHOCKED if he left town

I clearly missed something by not paying enough attention this season. What is #113 ?

Is Chase Morgan still with the program?
Yes. Lots of mentions about C-Mo being back and healthy next year. I hope people are right. We need a healthy C-Mo. Before he was injured, I would take him against any team in the nation on any day.
