[no1cajunfan]

Position Players: Lada, Willis, Robertson, Kimple, Roccaforte, Brock, Brandon, Higgs (RS who will probably start in the OF next year. He was injured.)

Pitchers: Schultz, Talley, Perrin, Christie, Durke, Menard, Havard, Wilson

Some guys not returning aren't in the portal.

To the best of my knowledge this is accurate, though it's possible I'm missing someone.

Last report UL had 14-16 players entering the transfer portal. Not sure if that number is completely accurate but has anyone done the research and compared out exodus of players to other in state universities? Is our number consistent with others?

Possible draft pick?

Yes. I didn't list him because I expect him to go in the draft. His return is a possibility if he doesn't get picked. Cooke is a shoo in to get picked and he'll sign, I'm sure.

Eleven players are in the portal as of June 29th.

Three players have graduated.
One did not play last year after transferring from Texas State.
One had already left to get ready for the MLB draft.

You have to remember because of the expanded roster, we had 7 extra players. So while this seemed great at the time, it also cut in some of their playing time.

The roster will be back to 35 next season, and we have a very large class coming in next year. The class is a good mixture of JUCO and high school kids. What most do not realize is that Jake Wells took over the main recruiting role this past season. I do not know how much that will change with the type of players we are attracting, but it was obvious a change needed to occur.

Those who are leaving on their own or those that were cut, I wish them all the best.

In the Portal 2101 players, 493 have graduated.

Good list. Richey ended up at UIW, so no big loss.

SOURCES: The NCAA was considering extending the transfer deadline for college baseball from July 1 to a later date. However, it did not happen. Any paperwork submitted AFTER today will fall under an individual waiver process. How lenient will the NCAA be? We’ll find out.

Cooke turned himself into the most pro-ready pitcher on the team, a very cool, durable strike thrower that rarely gets rattled. He had 2nd most innings pitched and a miniscule team-best batting avg. against (0.157) and not by a little bit.

I talked to a 2023 commitment at the ballpark this year. The only coaches he had contact with were Wells and Deggs.

Unless something has changed since exit interviews, Talley isn’t coming back, nor is Lada. Lada was told his services were no longer needed and Talley is ready to “move on with his life.” Employment and family.

MAT what do you think of the guys that are coming in?

Lada I am not sure about, but I do feel he will be back. But I can tell you Talley is coming back, I have been in contact with his dad. I will have an adult beverage or two with him later this month.
