Elko was basically Tommy White with 40 less hits, 25 less RBI, and a worse batting average.


Yeah, that really got a rise out of them when I brought up he wasn’t even a nominee for the best player in the country that season

I can almost see Ole Miss going ahead and doing something to commemorate the guy with a plaque or something if he really stood out in the sport nationally. But no, he was a 5th year senior who got hot at the right time. This is like LSU making a statue of Alexis Morris in a couple months

Statues make sense for a player who wins a Heisman or the Golden Spikes Award.

Tommy White doesn't deserve a statue next year for his 2023 performance, that'd be crazy.
