Yep, this Mosiello fiasco put the program back a couple of years. He did squat for the program his 2 years here so we are basically right back to where we were after Beals got canned in 2022.
People talk about trying to keep the better HS players in state, but why would anyone want to play for this mess right now? Haire's got his work cut out for him.

Yep.
Skipped over this one on accident. Graveline is in the portal as well
So 3 of our top 4 offensive performers are gone. (2 to transfer 1 to graduation)
2025 is lining up to be real ugly unless we can reel in some decent transfer help.

Could have stopped there. This program has been totally mismanaged. Hiring that asshole from TCU was another stupendous blunder. Fuck it all to hell.

Mostly anything outside of Football and to a extent basketball they seem to have not cared about for a long time, just operate and don't bring any negative publicity type attitude. Hopefully that changes under the new AD.

We did land a transfer, OF Reggie Bussey from Oakland. Bussey hit .336 (with a .465 OBP) and stole 31 bases for Oakland last season.

Too soon old, too late smart
If the two transfers are looking for the big score from the portal, maybe our new AD should step up to the plate and give these guys a bigger taste than they're getting. Read the one about the catcher, and he seems like a nice cornerstone to have. Recollect (dimly) that the catcher is kinda important position. Keeping him should be key. Not certain what would be the bigger splash, but the better Ohio recruits are probably shying away from Ohio State until they see that the 'ship has been righted'. Investing in the team might be the quickest way for them to see that, as a losing season (next year) won't help at all.

Kaczmar transferred to South Carolina.
Graveline I can't find that he's picked a destination yet, but I did read he was a top 10 catcher in the transfer portal so chances are he ends up at a better baseball destination than Ohio State is.
The one pitcher transferred to Arkansas as well.
I'm going to assume you aren't going to find enough people willing to put enough money into the baseball program here that will keep kids like this from transferring to the SEC or other more quality baseball destinations.

Another incoming transfer, this one doesn't look so good, guess they gotta fill the roster though.

Presser Bullets: New Ohio State Baseball Coach Justin Haire and Softball Coach Kirin Kumar Aim for Higher Program Heights
New Ohio State baseball coach Justin Haire and softball coach Kirin Kumar are eager to establish winning cultures in the school's bat-and-ball sports.
PRESSER BULLETS: NEW OHIO STATE BASEBALL COACH JUSTIN HAIRE AND SOFTBALL COACH KIRIN KUMAR AIM FOR HIGHER PROGRAM HEIGHTS
- Haire opened with thank yous for Ohio State's administration.
- Growing up an hour and a half from Columbus, Haire noted he has a lot of family in the room to thank.
- It was a whirlwind in June during the hiring process for Haire, who had just gotten back from traveling when the opportunity arose.
- Haire added that it's fitting his family is here, because that's how he plans to build the Buckeyes' team. "The way we've run our program is just like a family."
- Haire made sure to compliment Kumar. "I thought we had some explosive offensive numbers (at Campbell) last year, then I saw (Miami's)."
- There are no specific goals that Haire wanted to outline, but he's eager to get the people in place to achieve great things. "We're not here to make results-oriented promises, that's not what we're gonna do. ... But what I can tell you is we're gonna have the right people in place ... and we're gonna work hard to make sure that the product on the field is something that people can be proud of."
- Haire said his aim is to ensure every player that touches Ohio State's program walks out as a better person than they came in, and he wants to recruit players that take pride in playing for the Buckeyes.
- Haire said it's time to build Ohio State's program to new heights. "It is time for our alumni to come home. It is time for our alumni to come together."
- On the identity of the Buckeyes' program: "The identity of our program will be uniquely ours. ... We're gonna have a love and care for one another that puts us well beyond our competitors. ... It won't be instantaneous. It will, at times, be very messy. Development is messy."
- Haire is confident Ohio State baseball can be a "monster" program.
