Just hoping for a change of luck for the baseball team. We’ve not gotten many breaks for Bo.

I think you should definitely consider this year a break for the team if that's what you'd like to call it. It's easy to lose any top 5 round draftee hopeful from the HS ranks and we just arguably kept 4 of the 5 of ours home if all stands pat between Hayslip, Clarke, Hess, and Holman. Miller was pretty much a shoe-in for the top 2 rounds after the year he had and just being the quintessential "toolsy" SS, so I never really thought he'd ever make it to campus anyways.
Hayslip, Clarke, and Hess are all top 100 guys by Perfect Game and the Cubs were willing to pay Holman a signing bonus of 800K, meaning they viewed him as a top 100 overall draftee, so it's safe to put him in that range as well.
All that said, that's about as big of a success for an up and coming program like ours that you could ask for. Just getting 5 top 100 type players to sign is one thing and then presumably getting 4 out of those 5 to make it to campus. On top of all the other guys we have coming in and coming back, I haven't been this excited about Alabama Baseball in a long time.
