Great idea. Sorry, I don't know. Maybe those who know will tell you as we go.

I have heard @preacherman20 say Kirby would play a grad year but I wouldn't want to speak for either of them. Retention like recruiting is fluid. That is who I was thinking of, thought maybe there were others, and thought maybe you might have known.

Your list is a great idea.

So, reading through the rumors, it's looking like

Hopefully all these rumors are wrong, or we get an influx of NIL for baseball. I don't want to suck again.

Hard for me to imagine Burns or Beam leaving. I know people will say "but NIL", but both these kids are a year away from being draft picks. Probably high draft picks. Is one year of NIL really worth the risk of going somewhere completely new and unfamiliar? JMO, but it makes better business sense to stay here one more year, keep working with the pitching coach you're already familiar with, playing for the team you've already given so much to, and get to that payday next year. But what do I know? Maybe they think that instant gratification $$$ is worth it?

You make a good point. But I don't think it's just about NIL dollars.

Pretty sure that’s where his girlfriend goes to school....

Beam leaving would surprise me. I know it means a lot to him to have his family close so they can attend a lot of games, especially his sister.

G/F is there and her dad is on the staff and brother plays. Talk about an easy way to “tamper” .

I’m not being sarcastic but what could be the other reasons? I can see opportunities for a championship or exposure especially coming from smaller schools (i.e. Maui or Griff), closer to home, coaching change, lack of playing time etc. None of those scenarios apply to some of our bigger names so what could/would lead to their leaving?

Burns can really only be NIL as a TN kid. TV moved him into a spot where he excelled and showed his versatility. I think he made money from it. He will go back to being a starter. Not that I really know anything, but third hand info I was told was that Burns will be taken care of.
