2024 Transfer Portal


To give you an idea how imperfect baseball recruiting is - Perfect Game rated the kid #500 in the country coming out of high school. Now two SEC power programs are competing for him two years later.

From the Baseball Forum - RHP Anthony Eyanson from UC/San Diego has been visiting today. We want him. He visited LSU before us.

AJ Russell rated perfect game #500---- Ratings are for star gazers and cash flow..........
 
Again depends on how much NIL he gets. If he gets 125k from whoever drafts him in rounds 11-20 and can come to UT and make 150k and get instruction and go to UT instead of some low A squad or FCL, he might choose the NIL and UT instead.

Maybe he comes here as he might not care about pro ball and instead wants to be a coach, I mean not all kids want to play baseball for a career, maybe he wants to coach and coming here is his best bet. None of us know the particulars of a player.
The issue is that if he comes here, has an incredible season, gets drafted next year…he 100% will be one of the guys that gets those disgustingly low, way below slot offers. Some teams, like the Angels, are predatory towards mid-round picks. They took a pitcher last year in the 9th round where the slot value was around $200k. They signed him for $1,000. He had no leverage…none. He had to take it or not sign and go play independent ball or something.
 
Damn Trippie. You want an elite pitcher for every inning. I really like this kid too.

Draft is soon. Tennessee has some lethal arms committed in this class. This pitching staff next season will be
elite.
Im a portal lover lol

If there’s a way to make the team better I’m for it.
Idk, I guess I need to learn to give younger guys a chance
 
Think it’s just because he isn’t as good as Galanie who also was slightly younger, I think a year younger. And Crawford wasn’t a flight risk because of age. He was a flight risk because he ended up as a 1st Round pick.
I’m not so sure age is that big of a factor these days, unless a guy is like 28.
These players are getting fast tracked through the farm systems like never before.
Gone are the days of playing 4-5 years of minor league ball, before you get a shot at the bigs.

I agree.

A guy got drafted 282 last year, and he was 24. Granted that’s not high and won’t have any negotiation power, but he could make that up in NIL.
