What an awesome first season Coach Bakich is having. Does anybody know if we have any elite pitchers or hitters coming in next year’s freshman class?

A lot of pitchers have committed. Don't think too many others have.

Class is looking strong for next year. These players are listed in order of ranking from top to bottom. Dillon Head will be a 1st rounder and won't make it to campus. It will be close for Stafura or Leguernic on if they get drafted or not. Would love to have both of them in Tigertown.
Keep in mind that Cam Cannarrella was a "Top 500" player last year per Perfect Game (ranked in bottom half of our recruiting class), so the player rankings need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Head may not make it to campus but I'm not sure he goes in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft. The college prospects this year trump the HS prospects. This year's college outfield and pitching prospects are loaded. Numerous MLB teams are fast tracking college players to the league. IE, Adley Rutschman, Spencer Strider. They get a quicker return on their investment. A lot of HS talent will drop further down the draft than predicted. Then it becomes a slot money issue. If the drafting team is willing to pay more than slot average, guys may bypass college. NIL is also a factor now and will affect signing bonus demands. I've said all season that Jarrell, Canarrella, and Smith could be in the 1st 2 rounds in 2025 draft. Smith may be eligible after next year due to his birthday. A la Daniel Moskos. I'm not sure but I know it's close.

Agreed but I want him on campus bc he needs to be placed on the all name team. What a name. Can’t wait to hear Titsworth goes deep!

Is Coach Leggett allowed to help with recruiting? Not help with the prospects so much as with high school, legion and youth coaches.
Since Coach B has never recruited this area before in earnest, I imagine Coach L’s contacts and reputation could help open doors for the new staff.

Bakich must have recruited the SE region while at Vandy and Maryland, right?

Yea but been a while and not sure how deep in the South Maryland can reasonably recruit.
Either way, what he is doing is working look forward to him continuing to build this program.
