Rivals too. Enough smoke there to move on. Not going to waste energy hypothesizing when it looks pretty clear he's not coming. Stew is not a 3 - nothing about his game points to being a 3 in Hurley's systems, which is a guard oriented profile. He's only going to get bigger/stronger and has...

There was a ton of feedback out of Peach Jam this year that this class is really thin in top end talent and there isn’t a lot of separation after Stokes, but a lot of depth. A kid like Stokes would not have been top 5 last year. That means you can get the same caliber of player at 30 that you...

Stew is not starting at the 3 next year

Hard part is that the timing doesn't align at all. You have a fall signing period for HS, before you get a chance to see your own roster play. So you're committing to unproven freshmen when you have little opportunity to evaluate your roster. THEN, you have the portal open after you get to...

Perhaps a backup to Mingo or maybe he's willing to work into the very back end of the 2/3 rotation to pull a starters role in Year 2. That type of recruit is really about the kid, character, willingness to develop and be part of a winning program. Alternative is to do what Darius Adams did, get...

I don't see Hurley going into another season (like last) relying on non lottery type freshman. I see this differently. Demary/Portal 1 Ball/Mingo (or Landrew, Samuels) Furphy/Ross/Mingo Stewart/? Reibe/Portal 5 I could see bringing in either Landrew or Samuels to work into the rotation for...

You're doing a lot of past accomplishments (or flaws) referencing for what is an annual award. What Raleigh or Judge has been in past seasons doesn't matter. Raleigh won the Gold Glove at catcher last year, so he's pretty good behind the plate. I don't think anyone who hasn't played the sport...

Or Will Wade told him he's come in and start behind a graduating Derrion Williams.

Looks like the tea leaves are forming. Oh well. I'm sure if Hurley really wanted the kid, they'd have put some full court press on him like they did with Mullins last year. I don't know much about NC St's roster this year other than Derrion Williams is a senior and the 4 is wide open for CC next...

Luis Gonzalez says hello.

Tend to think that unless Hurley sees an instant contributor as a top, top frosh or if he finds a lower ranked kid that he knows is 100% in it for the right reasons/development that can carry the culture, he’s going to save his spots for the portal. Amongst the disappointment of last season is...

Can’t penalize Raleigh for not getting hurt, can only reward him at catcher.

You’re kinda supporting the fact it’s emotional then, no. Diff between 61 and 62 is immaterial as it comes to comparing numbers vs Judge.

A specialist who isn't good at his specialty, a deadly combination.
