Is this the thread to watch for any portal players we might pursue?

So all 3 portal commits are draft risks , I’m curious how this affects our recruiting efforts for other portal pitchers , hopefully a couple of these guys make it to campus , the one guy is an aerospace engineer major, another a grad transfer and a juco

He's currently projected as a 5th round pick. Obviously, the signing bonus can be over slot and more enticing, but he's not really getting any 1st rd buzz that I've seen.
yes, I saw something similar. One had him pegged in the 5th and another in the 6th. It's not automatic he takes that deal.

I think the fact that people are pegging him as a draft risk means he’s telling people he wants to sign over going to college

Yes, hopefully so, but I'd probably not plan on it.

Slot value for a 5th rounder is roughly $400-500k, but several kids drafted there got bonuses over $1 mil. The Padres paid a kid $1.7 mil taken 151st overall in the 5th rd. That kid had all kinds of leverage as a HS senior. No way Barr would pass up that kind of money to come to school as he would have similar leverage being a draft-eligible freshman.

Trey Snyder, a Tennessee commit, got $1.32 mil in the 5th last year. By comparison, AJ Causey, a 4th yr JR, got $477.5k in the early 5t, which was just under slot value.

Per Kendall Roger’s twitter…

TRANSFER NEWS: A big-time bat has entered the portal as a graduate transfer.


@HPUBaseball INF Brayden Simpson entered the portal, I'm told. Simpson, 6-1, 190, was 1st Tm All-Big South and hit .389 w/ 22 HR, 77 RBI, 14 SB, 24 doubles and had a 1.250 OPS.
