Transfer Portal - Baseball 2024-25

[We'retheBoss]

There’s always a level people say can’t be reached, until someone plucky enough comes along and reaches it.

big loss for us. he was one of our top targets

We have clearly been #3 in the state for a while now in terms of overall athletics.

UCF is coming, you guys can laugh about it all you want while you reminisce about 1850. They play us tough in hoops, beat us in baseball (and made a great hire + used the transfer portal extremely well imo), and continue to do work in football while having a decent track record now past the whole “national champions” fraud run. Better than us over the past 8 years…

UCF will never catch us in Football. Everything else you said is spot on.

Kid never developed here. Shame.

What does catch us mean?

In championships? Unlikely

In coaching, facilities, conference? Pending

I thought the football boards were depressed.

I thought the football boards were depressed.

At least with Mario it wasn’t his first head corching job and he is an elite recruiter. So even though he’s poo’d all over himself on game days thus far we have signs of life. Same can’t be said for JD.

 

[Lance Roffers]

I know he has some good stuff and he got headlines, but I think he's overrated by the baseball media.

This is a kid who walked 76 in 70 innings. He's a fly ball pitcher (55.3%) who will give up bombs.

Saw >83% of batters left on base (very high number), and only a .230 batting average on balls in play (unsustainable low).

Underlying markers show him as a mid-4's guy at the Southland Conference level.

 

[Lance Roffers]

Two arms I'd chase ahead of Mayers are Janzen Keisel out of Oklahoma State and Kellan Montgomery out of Long Beach State.

Keisel has elite stuff and metrics and performed in a good conference.

Montgomery is a durable starter who misses enough bats and is a major ground ball guy.

In competing for NC's. I know it might be hard to believe but we are well on our way back to getting the talent to go to the playoffs and compete for NC's. They will never be at that level.

I literally just keep refreshing twitter and dozens of names pop up. Some bigger ones are def starting to pop in now. Texas Tech and USCe are starting to lose guys. Here is one I heard entered that would be great...

Starting to let worry creep into my mind with each passing day with regards to conference level starters…

 

[shoeless]

JD just posted another bat signal?

JD just posted another bat signal?

I'm guessing it's Tommy Lapour from Wichita State. https://goshockers.com/sports/baseball/roster/tommy-lapour/7600

Bat.

 

[hill33]

Why do baseball commits take so long to come out?

 

[DieHardCane27]

Bat.

Well that works too. Hopefully it's an impact bat like Williams.

 

[kanin81]

I'm hoping it's a Catcher or as Casey Stengel said when he was asked why the Mets took a catcher with the first pick in the Expansion Draft, without one there would be alot of passed balls. As-of the moment, we don't have a catcher.

 

[Plymouth99]

I would be elated with Lapour.
