Today is the day, and PG has us with the #2 signing class, fwiw.

I would expect this (top 5) to be the norm, under Cannizaro.

He's building a monster. I do expect a natty in next 5 years.

There are lots of

factors that go into winning a title, but one thing is for certain, we will be one of the most talented teams each season, under Cannizaro.

Too much has to fall into place right to expect a national title. But I do think we'll be consistently more competitive at a national level than we ever have been, other than maybe a couple of pretty short periods in our history.

LUS is going to have to pay through the *** to get him back.

Who all are we

projected to lose, and how does that compare to the teams around us (in the rankings)?

He will not be going back to LSU.

Coach is about to buid a new age MSU dynasty. His family loves it in Starkville, his dad said this is the best place for him and Coach knows he has unlimited potential.

I don't think

he's leaving.

He has the chance to build a dynasty here, and has unlimited resources.

We will lose some to the draft, other good schools will lose their share as well. Last year in addition to the guys we had on the roster we lost to the draft we lost Rivera, Bacon, Reed and Hutchison who were 2nd, 4th, 9th and 12th rounders respectively and we are still looking at this awesome class this year. We oversign, attrition happens, we are in as good of a position as anyone in the country right now with Canazzaro.

I'd get excited about the Blaze Jordan (2021) commit but I don't see anyway he makes it to us.

Cole Winn, Carter Stewert, JT Ginn, Keaton Winn possibly a few more.

Decent to good chance that Ginn comes to MSU.

I would add Jeremiah Jackson as a high draft risk. Gunner Halter, Bryce Bush, and Basiel Williams could also be risks as well if certain things happen but odds are good that we get them.

Our problem to me is we haven't been quite able to get it all together to win a National Title as far as pitching. If Morgan gets pulled sooner in 85 and Brandon Woodruff had stayed healthy in 2013 we might have one or even two.

What Cann gives us is a coach with MLB scouting connections who can also develop talent at a high level. On top of that he's very likable. If you send your son to MSU over the MLB draft there is a good chance that their value and stock is going to increase over the course of three years which makes coming to MSU less risky than going to a lot of other places. We also have a pitching coach that is highly respected as well.

Basically we now have the same model that Vanderbilt, Florida, and LSU when Cann was there have or had in the case of LSU. History has shown that is the best chance to maximize our odds of getting a National Title. Essentially at this point it's a matter of Cann getting his players in and taking the next steps.

Long way to go until 2021 but as of now there's a better chance of him coming to school than you would think. Obviously we will revisit in a few years and a lot can change between now and then.

Not sure if you guys saw the Brent Rooker tweet today but he basically said

"Young guys...go to college!"

Haha no there’s not. He won’t play college ball. Everything his parents have done is for that kid to go straight to the majors after high school. He plays on 3 or so different age groups for Dulins and has been killing it. Hit in the low 90’s a couple weeks ago at perfect game as a 14 year old. He ain’t coming to State so don’t get anyone’s hopes up

Brandon Woodruff was never effective as a college player. His ERA got worse each year. He never got his control. It wasn’t a matter of his health.

Statistically, players have a much better chance of actually playing in the majors if drafted out of college rather than high school.
