Didn't SC have a Reeves on their roster, and I wonder any kin.

Dubrule came from the ASUN like Frei. Yeager came from the SOCON like this kid. So, it has worked a couple of times for this staff. Just like everyone else though I'd rather see State pull some guys from major conferences. Hopefully this isn't foretelling of Mershon's decision. I keep telling myself that Hujsak played shortstop at VCU. So, it potentially could not affect Mershon at all.

Yeager(900+ops, 300+avg, 10+ homer) and duburle(350-400 hitter) both excelled at their levels. This guy not so much. Good player, but didn’t dominate the league like those guys did. Not a needle mover at all.. but 23 year old with experience could be a bridge piece to fill a gap for a season

still need 2-3 big splashes.. or bigger splashes than this

Man, I don’t know. This sure seems like another reach for maybe a depth piece when we need to be finding day 1 guys to fill starting spots.

Meanwhile, I see that McKenzie jumped ship today so I guess we can add another swing and whiff to the laundry list of our recent failed HS signings

We need way more than Debrules. Yeager is the exception to our portaling the last 3 years.

The 1st 3 are the only ones that are rated in the top 200 prospects. Kid from Michigan is almost a certainty to be gone. The other 2, we might get to campus

The “kid from Michigan” is 19 years 8 months old. Crazy but common, especially with us it seems…

According to 64analytics Frei was the 6th best 3rd baseman (77th best overall) & Reeves was one of the top 10 available SS.

I don’t know if 64 analytics rankings are worth crap, but it seems that picking up two guys rated in the top 2% of available players is a good thing.

I think it's pretty safe to say 64analytics is crap.

I had heard the Mershon to sou Carolina rumor as well but another reliable guy came back and said his brother was only a junior in high school so somebody can look that up if they want. The Mershon family is from up that way.

I think if he was going to South Carolina, he'd already be in the portal. My guess he's either at Mississippi State or in the minor leagues next year.

Here’s the deal about Mershon that everyone needs to understand. If he is smart (and I think he is) he won’t declare what he is going to do til last minute. If he keeps state and mlb in doubt til the end it drives up his potential signing bonus or nil. He has maximum leverage against both parties. If he declares one way or the other the party he is committed to is less inclined to sweeten the offer even more at the end. I suspect he is gone but have no inside information. It is in his best interest to leave both parties in doubt til the end.
