Everyone on next year's bball team (other than Madar) doesn't have an issue with age. They have an issue with the NCAA saying last month they can't have played somewhere like the Euroleague where the player made more than "expenses" or however it's described. Luckily, there are going to be a line of 50 other schools looking to fight that one, at least applying it to the 26/27 season, so you have to feel good about the NCAA backing off for next season. Still, it will be a relief when it's done.

Tijan Saine Jr is still available in the portal. Good player we were reportedly interested in. However, it sounds more like we want another 1 or 2 high dollar internationals if Madar is out.
Kevin Sweeney is reporting that LSU has given up on getting Yam Madar eligible. It's also being reported that his pro team in Israel is offering a big contract to keep him there.
If true, Will Wade is going to have to pivot to another scoring guard quickly. Would likely be international, since there's not much left in the portal for what we need.

This seems like the biggest SP to enter the portal...

Big draft risk.

Wachs was all RF and DH, but he had a hip injury he was dealing with all year which their coach said was why he DH'd as much as he did. Not sure if they would have played him more in CF if healthy.
Do you guys think the signing class is any consideration on how many portal additions we take? Or do you just stack as much talent as you can (obviously allocating money to positions as needed), see what happens with the mlb draft, and then tell anyone not landing in the top 34 they don't have a spot? No complaints, just curious. That's a huge signing class.
Interesting home schedule. Hofstra and Queens both made the tournament last season. High Point is really good. Texas Southern is Johnny Jones throwing a bone to his former team. 3 in state games. Washington St out of the blue.

Morningstar is an odd case. All conference last year. A lot of publications had him as a first round pick in ‘26. Got absolutely mauled this season. K/BB ratios are pretty much the same as last season but gave up a whopping 13 HRs in 38 innings.

Different perspective on top transfer portal guys from the usual 64 analytics lists posted. This is from Baseball America -
My bad, didn't see a post on his commitment to UT, thought it was new.
Ah, thanks. Obviously would love Trosclair but I wonder if that's more of a 2028 piece.
Man these are some elite numbers out of the pen from the left side in the ACC. Was really good as a freshman and even better as a sophomore. 38K/8BB in 22.1 IP. Want...

AYS reporting a "top LHP in portal" is visiting LSU. Do we know who that is yet?

Apparently this kid is eligible for the draft as a sophomore. Followed by Tutko. Would love to get him to LSU for a year.

Nice. Looks like he was dominant until 4/2/26 and then didn't pitch anymore. Still named Southland freshman of the year. Do we know how bad the injury is?
Official for Landon Hood as well. #73 prospect in 2028 Draft (Overslot)
