The effect of the Pandemic on college baseball is beginning to manifest itself in the form of swollen rosters and the ultimate solution - the transfer portal. When the NCAA granted college athletes an additional year of eligibility coupled with a one time transfer rule that allowed immediate play, college rosters ballooned with some teams actively practicing 60 players.
As a consequence, college coaches are now undertaking the painful job of reducing roster size to be in compliance with the 2022 season guidelines. Oregon State coaches, like everyone else will be forced to pare down the Beaver roster by opening day next February. Arizona State is a program in transition and the firing of HC Tracy Smith and the hiring of Willie Bloomquist appears to be already motivating some Sun Devil players to seek a change of scenery by entering the portal . . . . . .10 Sun Devils to be precise! One name of interest is catcher Logan Paustian from LaGrande, he committed to Nebraska early then flipped to ASU. Maybe the 3rd time is a charm.

I am curious to see, if Arizona hires Nate Yeskie to keep as much of the team as possible intact.

Thanks for the numbers, that's interesting. I'm sure everybody actually is up there in the 8-10 range, they just haven't announced anything yet.

Susac only 1 more year then pro, not going anywhere I doubt I obviously don't know. But do we have a better chance at the CWS next year than UA? And I think the catcher's position is wide open.

It appears we had only 4 players enter the portal. Washburn, Valero-Sanchez, Giblin, and Donohue. The Portal is now closed but that doesn't mean we won't see any further transfor activity, players can petition the NCAA and hope for a waiver allowing a transfer and immediate eligibility. How lenient will the NCAA be? No one knows but we shall see over the next 4 months.

According to the NCAA ‘If you are in the SEC, rules are made to be broken’, ‘if you are in the PAC 12, you can’t break the rules, period’.

Blind fan appreciation does that to folks I guess. Sometimes teams are just better. Their add campaign is spot on: It just means more. Having attended school at the University of Alabama I can attest this is true!
