Just when you fell in love with USC baseball, some depressing news.
Catcher Augie Lopez, who led the Trojans in home runs (19) and was second in RBI (57), has entered the transfer portal.
I guess this means USC is not prepared to be a player in NIL for baseball.
The nice thing about USC is it fielded a team of overchievers, so it looked like the team would basically be intact next season.
But Lopez’s departure would be a blow, unless Jen Cohen plans to let Andy Stankiewicz go after some high-profile transfers.

Scooter,
How could a Loyola High Cub, who went to school only 10 minutes away from USC leave SC? I could see a St. Paul Swordsman leaving, but not a Cub.

I doubt that Jen Cohen spends much NIL on baseball. The sport doesn’t generate revenue. That is likely why she let Riley destroy the baseball stadium to build an unnecessary football facility. She really doesn’t care about the sport.

Plow, I don’t believe it (baseball) generates revenue on any campus.
