2025 NCAA Baseball Portal Thread

[BigDawg81]

Anybody hearing Ace Reese to the portal and headed to LSU?

[mparkerfd20]

Yeah there's so smoke. Hopefully it's just fog left over from all the rain.

Ben Davis withdraws from the draft and is returning.

Huge bullpen piece.

I wonder if MSU in the game for Joey Volchko

This is the Paul Skenes, Chase Burns, or Eyason of this year.

LSU fans acting like Volchko is already a Raising Canes spokesman

He is not all that impressive on the 2025 Stanford stat sheet, but stat sheets do not pitch in games. What is it about him that makes him that coveted? Potential? Nasty stuff? Just curious because this is the first time I have heard his name. Maybe I am living under a rock too.

Statistically he gives me the Thatcher Hurd vibes. He's supposed to be a top-15 draft pick.



Shows there is risk and danger of a bubble in Portal Pitchers. There is even a Texas State kid in the cape with an 18 ERA and 438 batting average against. Compared to this kid, I need to offer my services in the portal, there are some bust, shot-out prospects offering to take their waste-of-space to a new college.

Even a 100 hitting SS from Purdue. This dude should be issuing a public apology to Purdue Coaches and Fans, not flaunting portal availability

Great stuff, Federalist. 100 mph says it all. Appreciate the knowledge and I agree with you about some guys in the portal. Some of these players are getting bad advice or have a seriously overinflated value of their abilities.

Looks like Hickson, the pitcher from Rice, is in the boat. We will see what happens with him in the draft.

One of the most talented staffs we've had in a while.

[Quaoarsking]

I'm assuming he'll probably be one of our 3 weekend starters if he makes it to campus?

[No BS Dawg]

Depending on the draft, this pitching staff has the potential to be downright filthy. Very, very talented staff. Keep working BOC and staff!

[ZedFedder]

That is a big pickup.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Like others have said, this will be one of the more consequential drafts for us in recent memory. A lot of pieces that we need to make it campus.

Yep. Lose 2-3 pieces it?s ok depending of course. Lose 6-7 guys? Really hurts the roster

I?m hoping most go the Ben Davis route. Why go in the 15th round and take a meager bonus when you could play SEC ball in palace with a good NIL package? That was huge for us and more need to do that

I am just enjoying the Baseball Portal National Championship race.

I would put a banner in the outfield, "2025 Portal National Championship".... Then you worry about the draft.

I heard keenum ordered a banner that he calls the "Portal Governor's cup - We Own the Sip"

Lolz, good one. Instead of a banner, he'd instead opt for billboards across the state (I'm joking, but not really).

Maybe the stars will align and we'll get lucky in the draft....

If we do, holy hell we gon be good.

If they gel, gotta team build once we get them on campus. That said this iteration of msu baseball will have a great deal of potential.

True, but i think our combination of staff, fan support (as in cheering fans at every game) , facilities, and program legacy, etc., gelling will come easy...or at least easier than at places that have to fake it in 1 or more of those categories.
