Surprised Daddy Warbucks Campbell is letting him go 

I’m not surprised.  He’s ineligible for softball.

Is it a massive whiff if Texas ends up with the 2nd or 3rd best outfielder in the portal instead of the 1st?

Let it play out. I remember when missing on Becker and Hacopian last year were “massive whiffs” and we ended up with some plan C option names Temo Becerra, who had a career year.

Great point.

Just remember Tinney wasn't the first choice for Texas last year. How did that work out?

Yes, it is a massive whiff. Becker or Hacopian could end up being the player away from winning a ring or not. That's TBD and we'll likely never know. But these are the players LSU has won titles with. Gotta land them, period.

We’ll let the staff know you prefer to land great players. I’m sure they haven’t thought of that after watching Tinney and Robbins all year.

Again, let it play out. It’s June 10th. The portal isn’t even at the halfway mark.

Haha. There isn't nearly as much star power in this cycle as there was last year. Gotta get em while you can. Oh well though.

Apparently the baseball program doesn't get nearly enough support as the other major sports, which makes no sense considering they have the better history. Sucks
