Update

Following up on a prior topic about 3 potential new players

Tyler Gilbert

Taurean Nixon

Deondre Skinner

I can say with 110% confidence that as of this morning there have been zero final decisions made as to their status on being members of the 2013 team. We get all, some or none.

I will point out something I said a long time ago - the most important thing this off season is to make sure we get all of our 2013 signees here as projected and that during the Spring/Summer we do not lose any players we need due to academics/behavior suspensions. Adding any of the above three players to the roster is lagniappe to making sure we get the rookies to campus by Fall camp and that everyone that can contribute stays eligible to play this year.

Another new baseball commit?
