I played baseball in college and we had 4 or 5 quit for various reasons every year. Some realized that playing a sport in college, even at a small Div. I school, is a ton of work and time and they didn't want to invest in it.  Others felt like our coach was screwing them.  The guy starting ahead of me quit after the coach started me just to light a fire under his butt (coach admitted this to me in the end of season meeting), and I had a great weekend and took his job.  The point is, kids are kids; they always have been and always will be.  Some work hard and have drive and a mature perspective, others don't.  Those who don't move on to different things.  Heck, I nearly quit after struggling mightily my freshman year.  I'm grateful that I didn't.

Cuseregular sums it up well here, in my opinion.   We forget these guys are kids who see the world through the lens of a kid.  And most of them probably don't have someone advising them other than their parents, who are perhaps just as naive or misguided as the kids are.  I'm certainly guilty of judging these guys like they are adult pros.  That's on me.

All that said, I hate the transfer portal rule.
