Mississippi State likely already feels like it was “won” the offseason with the hiring of former Virginia coach Brian O’Connor. But if he wants to win on the field next spring, there’s work to do immediately.
The NCAA baseball transfer portal opened on Monday and just like every other time a coaching change is made, there will be some significant roster turnover.
Several Mississippi State players have already entered the portal and more will likely follow. It’s likely more players have left Virginia than any other school and some of those former Cavaliers are expected to follow O’Connor to Starkville. Which ones are still a mystery, though. A good indicator, though, would be reports of players being listed in the portal with a "do not contact" tag.
