My thoughts: 1. Elko knows he got lucky this past season, and this season will be more difficult. So, he will be able to get people to look past the loses this coming year and be able to point to future of a highly ranked recruiting class. 2. No matter how much money you pour into highschool recruiting, the hit rate will always be the same, even for 5 star guys. They are putting so much of their money into development vs. performance it's going to create an imbalance and wasted funds on development. When the high priced development guys actually hit the performance phase, they are going to demand higher pay. The A&M budget won't be able to pay all these guys for performance, so something will have to give and other schools will reap the benefit of all the money A&M spent to just roster and develop a kid when they transfer out.

Can’t hardly wait for tomorrow “HOOKEM “

LOL

Preach on brother!!!! I prefer you dropping the information…your track record speaks for itself on the Bball!

Pretty cruel statement. Curb your tongue

We’ll see if it works out for elko because it sure as hell didn’t for fisher.

You’re blending three different concepts and acting like they’re the same thing. We were talking about reaction time. Reaction time is purely distance ÷ velocity. Ball size doesn’t enter the equation unless you think circumference bends spacetime 😀

I don't want to sound like a homer, but having a top 5 signing class in 2027 and beyond just means that you won't have money for the portal. The portal is a superior way to find proven talent. Signing class ranking no longer tell the whole story.

Major league teams tend to beat minor league teams.

A true Longhorn. 🤘🏼

Let’s see if they make it to signing day.

You’re right. These players are special and love Texas. I’m just scarred from WBB portal season. 😂

It's going to be tough for Elko to keep that spigot open without high level results. My guess is that 1/2 if not more of these top 50/100 players transfer out when they don't live up to expectations and won't take a pay cut or they do perform and want another payday.

The ball being bigger unquestionably makes it easier to hit. Do you think a bowling ball is not easier to make contact with than a bb, at equal speed? A straight 97 mph fastball is easier to hit than an 87 mph slider with high spin rate. Anyone who watches baseball knows this. You have more reaction time with the slider but it’s moving away from your bat during that extra time so it’s harder to hit. You cannot survive in MLB throwing nothing but straight 97 mph fastballs. You have to sacrifice reaction time for movement.

Any plans for a watch with us tomorrow?!

Back to Back Champs this team was built not bought it's a difference no need to worry about our main girls they aren't going anywhere

Pitchers are the most coveted portal players because how much they impact the game. Will be interesting to see who gets who.

That's it for Schloss and the Longhorns. We'll be back here at 7 p.m. tomorrow for the first game of the Austin Super Regional between Texas and Oregon.

Mendoza has gotten into a good routine as the DH, with his shoulder injury not allowing him to play second base.

Schloss said Ethan Mendoza "had an awesome weekend." "I'm super excited about the balance of our lineup all the way through," he said.

On the bottom of the lineup, Schloss said Ashton Larson is starting to hit lefties better and Pendergrass is seeing the ball well. It's nice to have Borba's 17 home runs at the bottom of the lineup, he said.
