Hey guys, we just entered the transfer portal period where players are leaving their particular schools and entering the transfer portal, which means there's opportunities. There's two ways to look at this that I'll cover here in a second, but I just ran all the numbers and I'm going to highlight a few of these schools which are big name baseball programs with a lot of players leaving this. And I want you to look at this in two ways. Opportunities, especially for the guys that are still looking for homes. But also the other side is instability at these schools. So let's run these numbers and talk about these schools. I'm going to go from lowest to highest here. Oklahoma State, 10 players in the transfer portal at this time. University of Central Florida, 10 players. Purdue 12. Penn State 12. East Carolina 13. South Florida 15. South Carolina 15. USC Upstate, which sucks. They are a great mid major that went far in the regional. They're at 16. They're, they're leaving to bigger schools. It looks like San Diego State 16, Virginia Tech 17, Virginia 21. Coach O' Connor's leaving for Mississippi State, so instability there. Ohio State, 23 players. Wichita State, their coach got fired, 27 players. So take this information, use this information wisely. There is. Every school essentially has players leaving, but those are some of the big names and big numbers. Good luck.
