Noticed this kid was following Coach Hart. Typically I don't pay attention to who follows the coaches but this kid stuck out.

Lots of power in this fella. Hit 19 bombs his last year of JUCO, 9 last year and 23 this year at Central Oklahoma.

O'Connor pulled a Buzz Williams. Reset that clock while he could, and managed to get an SEC team to pony and pay him that money.

Preseason #2 this year, absolutely loaded roster, and missed the NCAA tourney altogether.
Not even close, IMO. UVA wasn't giving him the NIL funds he wanted/needed and I've read that he saw below average SEC teams get to host while his injury riddled team that should've made the tourney gets left out.

They finished ahead of duke, miami, wake and louisville this year in the conference.

The dude won the only baseball natty the ACC has seen since 1955, he was coaching at UVA as long as he wanted to.
Yea O'Connor could have went anywhere he wanted to, there is no resetting the clock there. I read UVA fans are pissed because their baseball budget is top 15 in the nation and athletic budget is more than Miss State but I guess their NIL is not.

Wonder if John Grisham (Miss State alum) had anything to do with it? He pretty much saved UVA baseball several years ago when they were cutting the sport

I am thinking State would want roughly 18 players back who have remaining eligibility. They also have 8 incoming freshmen. That is 26 of 34 roster spots. That leaves 8 spots available for portal. I could see 4 pitchers and 4 position players.

Returning or haven't entered the portal yet.

Freshman (8)- Woodson, Bonn?, Head, Manuel, Nance, Morris?, Novy, Potts

Soph (10)- Nixon, Lyons?, Sosa, Ossenfort, Andrews, Marohn, McHugh, Consiglio, Wimbish, Dudan

Juniors (8 & Draft Eligible) - Fraasman, Hogue, Smith, Peissel, Van Dam, Carr, Shaffner, Fritton.

I'd imagine you will see a couple more transfer plus the draft with Fritton, Shaffner? and maybe couple of others like Van Dam, Smith or Hogue?

We've turned college baseball into travel ball for what I guess a a few bucks to a few players. Really pathetic what it has become for the players.

And Shaffner as well

I have a feeling Avent is going to have a big rebuild on his hands. If there is zero NIL money even now with Revenue sharing for the baseball team (not sure if thats accurate but been speculated) then I can see more guys than usual entering the portal. Like basketball with the portal money being inflated. I think the revenue share aspect of this is going to have more baseball players looking to at least get a few thousand over just full ride.

NIL has no bearing on any of these players leaving. It may play a part in replacing them.

Guys want to play. Best to not be surprised anyone who wasn't an everyday starter this year (and a penciled in starter for next year) hits the portal.

The only surprise on this list to me is Heavner, and even he got benched in the biggest games of the season for a true freshman.

Shaffner is surprising but I bet he wanted to start and wasn't promised a spot.

I just don't feel like Heavner had a spot. He played third out of necessity this year. His bat is fine at 2nd but not 3rd and maybe coaches finally realized that.

Gosh I hope Shaffner doesn't portal.

I think Justin was referring to him turning pro (regardless of draft result).

playing time. no one that has left was a regular and none were likely going to get regular PT next year unless other guys leave/get hurt/etc.

Do we know how many full scholarships State plans on giving? Believe there was a limit of 11.7 scholarships allowed before. (NCAA) Now there is not a roster limit but you can give all players a full ride now. Guessing mid majors and smaller schools wont get close to giving every player a scholarship. Im guessing most SEC schools will. At least the most committed. Do we know what State is thinking. Giving everyone a scholarship? Half the team? Staying at 11.7?

Not staying at 11.7. Probably around 20+

most ACC schools will sit between 18-25 scholarships

We have some talent on this team but no slam dunks that are going to command big dollars like Tommy White. If they leave, if will be for playing time or they are not happy

Good catch there, I misread that. I bet someone takes a chance on him in the draft though. I had thought he was only a sophomore but glad he figured it out this year.
