2025 NCAA Baseball Transfer Portal

[SPMT]

Go to Starkville on a Tuesday night in the summer. Then go to Knoxville, Fayetteville, Athens, Lexington, Baton Rouge, etc and it is easy to figure out why we are losing these recruiting battles. It is not Lemonis, NIL, Gautreau, or anything of the sort. It is the fact that we are located in a small town in Mississippi that without students is not a very exciting town. And unfortunately all these recruiting visits are taking place during the summer when no students, or very few, are on campus.

I live in Starkville and have been to all of those places??if I?m thinking who?s going to get me to the MLB, beer and pu$$y isn?t my concern.

That?s a given for a college athlete.

But?..with Cohen we had a vibe and an identity. We were tough. I don?t feel like we have had that since 2021. In fact, I know we haven?t.

I don?t want to fire Lemonis though. Baseball isn?t the same as the other big 2. It?s more chess on a field.
