Any ideas on what the team will look like next year?  Based on a podcast, it sounded like the roster will be changing.  The biggest needs are dynamic hitters and the infield.

Vastly different, once again we lose a ton of the production at the plate, and some very key arms:

Danny Trehey
Sam Drumheller
CJ Williams

Spencer Rich
Jalen DeBose
Christian Adams

What will be interesting to see is how well we can do in the portal.

And I truly hope we can keep John Schroeder.

Christian Adams to Georgia for his post grad:

JUST IN: @FAUBaseball 2B @christiannnn_9 will transfer to @BaseballUGA for his graduate season. He departs #FAU after posting a team best .343 BA this season with 31 RBI and a . 522 SLG%. God Bless and Best wishes in your next chapter Christian! 🦉 pic.twitter.com/Uzac1jIhpu

Damn, I really liked him. The turnover is really disappointing to see, again. Lack of NIL I presume? Grad transfers present different situations academically, obviously. 

He's very good friends with Dylan Goldstein, who also was poached away last season by the Bulldogs. Sure that had something to do with it…

Ohh ok, thanks Rick.

I have seen some headlines that the portal is closed for baseball meaning no more entries.  Do we have any updates on who is staying and who is coming?

Adams was the only one I heard about so far but, will get some detes and circle back.

I will be tweeting out the first nugget but for now:

CJ went to Tampa (all D1 eligibility is exhausted)

Not returning

INF Nick Garagozzo
OF David Alvarez
INF Skyler Schulz
RHP Kyle Beaty
C Andrew McKenna (graduated)

No other reported departees.

All things considered - not losing that much in portal. Correct?
