Why would the NCAA delay the opening of the portal when 90% plus of teams seasons are finished ? Just 16 teams still playing.

Why not start the NFL draft on Super Bowl Sunday? Only 2 teams playing that day anyway, right?

Football is in a tough situation with classes starting around the corner, the only fix is to move the playoffs back to end earlier - there is no rush in baseball related to classes that I know of. Timing is odd at best.

Jake Souders - Samford OF

Wrong on Souders. 

There is no visit setup for him.

Wow, we just landed one of the best bands of the 90's/2000's? Texas really does have deep pockets.

Because while the NFL has become a souless entity bent on shaking every last nickel out of fans pockets they are not stupid 

[SuperDave0805]

Worthy of a BOOM

Reporting is that Coastal Carolina’s Schnall will be heading to South Carolina. 
 

Expect the entirety of that Coastal roster to hit the portal. Some very good players in that group. Maybe we can try to peel one off from Pitching staff

Apples and oranges.  The NFL has the luxury of not having to consider school dates.

Second Summer Session is still available for transfers who want to get a jump on Fall.

Is there any kind of list on expected needs, guys out of eligibility, and draft decisions?

Pitching, catching, maybe 3B depending on moving guys around.

Don’t understand the portal opening during Regional series heading to Super Regionals. 
 

Feels like really bad timing 

The track and field portal opens during the week of NCAA Regionals too.

Third base is accounted for with Lincin, I'm not sure if we retain borba or not but he could easily slide to first.

NFL wants to own the off season.  If they have the draft at the same time, they lose months of coverage
