Breaking 6 Baseball players enter the portal potty today 5/25/22

[Huskerbuck85]

Back in April a player with the last name Randazzo entered. Not sure if any relation but I lived with a Randazzo in college and he was a complete Italian douche bag. Not saying all Italians are but he was.

What a meltdown

 

[RedSavage]

What a meltdown

I'm not sure I'd call it that. I think this is very intentional and not so much a player decision.

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

Bolt Era?

As in we're Boltin'

 

[vailhusker]

Also a commit -

8 dudes total though? is that normal? doesn't seem like it. Is there a back story? Culture...please God don't tell me it's the C word again

Idc care whose decision it was, to have a chunk of your roster that big turn out to be dogshit isn't good.

Seems concerning but I seem to remember a year or two ago thinking "No way Bolt can keep all of these guys that they are recruiting"

 

[Havoc34]

If they were a good team I would be concerned but they sucked so this smells more like clearing room for good players to come in

Yeah I guess it wouldn't be as concerning to me if we didn't totally melt down on the field this year. Purging the roster seems desperate.

 

[DuckSker]

Are we clearing shelf space to go the football route of NIL and buy some studs for next year? Let’s go baby

Or it’s a move to avoid another year like this one. Too lazy to look but how many of these guys were actually recruited by bolt?

A few of them did play. Martin was good but he got kicked off the team a month ago

Also Bragg was pretty good

 

[Kaladin]

It looks like house cleaning to me. I think teams are able to have more scholly guys on their roster going forward as well. So they are probably gonna go out and get more jucos and transfers.

Also Bragg was pretty good

Bragg was good when he was on, but far too often he wasn't on.

As stated, Martin was kicked off a month ago. He was also a Senior that had a COVID year available to him if he wanted it.
