Four of the transfers committed to South Carolina are top 250 players. That’s more than any other program in the top 10. That’s significant considering two of the players that have left the roster were also top 250 players.
The transfer portal has become a pivotal portion of college sports, but baseball especially. Georgia’s head coach Wes Johnson has utilized it to get the program into postseason play in the first two years he was there. Tennessee’s Tony Vitello signed Andrew Fischer and Liam Doyle out of the portal and they have arguably been the best two players on the team.
If Mainieri and his staff can continue to crush the portal like they have so far, they will be in good shape heading into the 2026 college baseball season. The portal will remain open until July 1st.
