There is so much blame and criticism of Dan and his staff by fans, some of which I have contributed to as well. Without having any evidence to support my suspicion; it may be as simple as UL having insufficient financial support to participate in the Portal. The common denominator in the decline in UL Baseball seems to be largely the Covid interruption, followed by NIL and the Transfer Portal.
Some believe that Dan has been warm at best to the Portal, but I wonder if it’s more about not having the funds to attract the level of talent through NIL and Portal to compete with the ACC and SEC schools who appear to covet college baseball more than UL?
