I don't think we're out of it for Amick. I think we gave him a lot to think about. Doesn't mean he'll come here, but I don't think it's as clear cut as some seem to think.

Galanie is a Vol just not publicly announced. Amick left Clemson because he wanted to play 3rd base. Florida took Bama’s 3rd Basemen but posters said he will play SS for them. Zane Denton is gone unless he uses his COVID year which probably isn’t happening

If he were to pick Florida, I'd be curious what they promised him and what kind of NIL deal they gave him. I know Amick has said he wants to play third, and I think the path to that seems clearer here, but he could be chasing the money, too. And if that's the case, then he'll go to highest bidder. And I wouldn't put it past the gator coach to make promises he doesn't keep.

MLB.com has Rucker as a top 150 draft prospect this year. PG might be a little off on their ranks.

Rucker might get drafted but they expect him in. Same with Matthew Dallas. I think they also expect Denton back but that might not go their way

I’m not sure Amick ends up a vol. in fact if I had to guess I’d guess no. I think Holman has a better chance of being a vol

Realistically, I wonder how many more impact players we can expect to hit the portal before July 13th?

I really don’t understand why Amick would choose Florida if his entire reason for leaving Clemson is he felt he wasn’t going to get an opportunity to play 3B. Florida is going to stick him in the outfield.

I think Florida would find a way to get him at the position he wants, just as we would. Hopefully he announces today for us.

Not convinced it's entirely about playing third base. Also not convinced Florida coach is above making promises he doesn't intend to keep. I don't trust lizards.

If I had to pick a true rival coach who’s a pretty stand-up guy, O’Sullivan is my choice. I also believe there are multiple factors at play as far as Amick goes.

I would agree cardvolfan. He was a lot like Tony in his younger days and pretty fiery but I don't think he would straight up lie to a player. I'm guessing if Amick is leaving Clemson and taking all the heat he will take because his family is Clemson people. He is looking for money, draft stock increase, and a position. I don't know that any of the power players can guarantee him all three so he will have to decide who gives me the best options. I hear it was not just about playing 3rd but playing at all. He did not feel like he had a position going into next year with what Clemson had coming in and the staff made him no guarantees. Hope he is wearing the right orange for once in his life.

I don’t know why but if we don’t get Amick I feel like it has a lot to do with Zane Denton deciding to come back for another year. Which, I wouldn’t mind. He was such a clutch hitter down the stretch last season.

I don’t think this is a must-win battle by any means, but it feels like we need to hopefully land one of Holman/Amick away from Florida/LSU.

I would almost consider Holman a must because it give Tennessee a second weekend starter along with Beam. Amick tho, that would be a cherry on top imo
