Fresh off a bump in the ‘27 ranks, Dre came out to the #FourCornersProCase ready to go ✅.

Kicked the event off hot with a 6.52 60 time and 90 INF velo from a wiry 6’1 160lbs frame with plenty more to come. #beseen

May is over. Here is what the next thirty days actually look like inside college baseball, since most parents do not see it.
June 1 opens the main transfer portal window. Within seventy-two hours, hundreds of college players enter. Some are walking away. Most have been pushed.
Coaches who lose players to the portal are on the phone within hours, sometimes minutes, reshaping their rosters. That reshaping cascades downward — Power 4 takes from mid-major, mid-major takes from D2 and NAIA, D2 and NAIA take from junior college, and junior college reaches into the high school class.
A 2026 who thought his commitment was settled in March can find his depth chart completely different by July 4.
If your son is committed, this is the month to have an honest check-in with his future coach. Not a panicked one. A direct one. "What does the roster look like for me right now?" is a fair question. Coaches who answer it honestly are the coaches you want.
The June portal does not slow down for anyone. The families who watch it carefully are the ones who avoid the August surprise.

💯 Spent the weekend around my HS coach.
He will always be “Coach”.

Highschool athletes will call their coach “Coach” until he or she dies. It’s a respect thing…
