College Baseball - Transfer Portal Tracker

So, I gotta couple questions about this portal business…

1. Just because a player enters it, doesn’t mean he’s leaving, correct? He could decide to stay if the grass isn’t greener, right?

2. Is this a discussion between coaches and players, or is it just a player decision? I guess I am really asking about strategy.

Finally, 2000 baseball players in the portal…many won’t find a new baseball home I reckon?

Okay, I guess I should have said a few questions. 😜

1. Yes, players can exit the portal and return, although some coaches may have a policy of disowning those who enter the portal.

2. I imagine it can go both ways, a player could decide on their own to bail or a coach could strongly recommend that they look elsewhere. But ultimately decision to enter portal is the player’s

3. Yep, there’s no guarantees when entering the portal and many players could be SOL.

Hope this helps

Unfortunately, Vol fans are becoming portal aficionados because of the football program 🤣

No kidding.

But, because of the roster sizes, reduced minor league teams, the draft…the baseball portal seems like a dangerous place to be in comparison to football, which is why I asked.

Totally agree, particularly since I’m pretty sure that once a player enters the portal, the original school no longer has any obligation to them. It’s likely that quality players who enter the portal made their decision on their own while lesser players were probably encouraged to do so.

I see that Coltyn Kessler officially entered the portal 7 days ago. Do we know if he’s really considering Tennessee or is that just speculation? It seems like the perfect spot for him…there’s an opening for a Catcher, he’d and he’d be surrounded by talent, a great coach who develops guys for the pros, and would have a legit shot at Omaha.

When Kessler put his name in the portal, Ben McKee specifically mentioned that we should keep an eye on him. He also said that Kessler is from Saint Louis and CV is friends with his dad.

I know that players can come back to their original school but I think the chances of that happening are very little. It would be like your girlfriend telling you she’s going to put her information on tinder and if nothing happens you’re all good. The sad part of it is that coaches can look all they want but for a player to legally look he has to put his name on the portal. Yes I did say legally. I really cannot imagine unless a player just does not see himself getting any time that he would put his name in the portal without having a plan as to where he’s going. I believe that we will pick up at least one if not three more players out of the portal in the next week or so.

I have no idea but speculating here, could CTV pull this off?

Transitioned from the Friday night starter role as a freshman into a shutdown weapon out of the bullpen …

So if we got another Dallas, what would we call him, “cracker” Dallas?
GBO!!
