This is something I've thought about for a while now and isn't something I'd be able to do for 2021, obviously, but definitely something I'd like to do in the future.
What I'm envisioning is a preseason SEC baseball magazine, similar to what Hooten's does for HS football in Arkansas, Phil Steele does for college football, etc. ... I'd coordinate with some of the other Rivals sites to have previews, projected lineups/rotations and stuff like that on all 14 SEC teams. We could have a preseason All-SEC, top incoming freshmen, top pro prospects, top transfers and other stories on major storylines entering that particular season.
I've already been in touch with the Vandy site's writer about some content like that for this season, but it'll just be on the site. The more I think about it, though, the more I feel a preview magazine is possible. It'd take quite a bit of work and I don't even know where to begin, but - as attendance shows - college baseball is huge in the SEC and I don't think such a product exists.
So what do you think? Would you pay ~$15 for such a product?
