Cool man, surely the #1 prospect can keep the Heels from going 0-2 in the Supers this year right?

He made some nice plays against the Hogs last year though not nearly enough.

---

It sucked to get walked off at home, but Arkansas played great. We have the talent around Vance to make it to Omaha this year.

Be interesting to see if Kling is in the starting lineup initially. Some expect him to start and bat 8th. Hurd is not in the weekend rotation to start the year, but speculation is that he will start midweek in prep for a mid-week start against Texas at the end of the month.

LSU leads all schools with three of the top 10 overall prospects,

Maybe schools will actually be able to hang onto these elite prospects because of NIL. Will be interesting.

Kling is probably the best freshman bat in the country if they can find a regular role for him.

---

I kinda doubt that. He's got a lot of talent overall but he hasnt really taken over in the fall and spring scrimmages to lock down a starting spot for now. Dylan Crews is a ridiculous comparison for anyone but he's basically a slightly poor man's Crews for now IMO. He will be special before he leaves here even if it's just for 2 years. True 5-tool outfielder.

I will say his spring stats were better than his fall stats but pretty limited in spring compared to fall. He'll play a lot this year regardless.

Hurd is a helluva midweek starter.

It's likely on temporary so we can pitch one of our best guys @ Texas which is probably our toughest OOC game by far (lots of patsies on the schedule before conference play). the rotation is very far off from being set right now. I dont see Cooper staying there at all being 1 of only 2 useful lefties on the team and just much better out the pen overall.
