Paying 7 figures for a softball player

... especially since one already did. And they have bought the bat from Tennessee. Those guys get to spend their money the way they want. -
72 Days Until Kickoff: Who’s your favorite No. 72?
Jeff Howe replied to Blake Munroe's topic in On Texas Football Forum
Honorable mention to Mason Walters. He’s a standup guy who didn’t mind answering tough questions when things on offense weren’t going right during his time in the program. -
Transfer portal has changed everything. Retention is key these days.

Now compare our class to the # 1 2022 A&M class, the GOAT class - eight 5* recruits, I think 5 of them DL or EDGE. ONE guy stuck it out and was drafted from A&M (Stewart). Their other 2 draft picks were a transfer from Purdue and a 4th year guy. Some of the 2022 guys who transferred out did get drafted (Nolen the most obvious), but we had 3x more guys drafted out of that class than they did. Look at their attrition rate, pretty astounding.

don't think the Pocket Hose was a OTF advertiser.

Looking back at it, a huge amount of attrition overall. Jaydon Blue was really the only skill athlete difference maker. Guilbeau will be a 2 year starter and contributer. It's pretty slim outside of them. Our 23 and 24 classes are really the bulk of the team this year and will ultimately decide our ceiling. The one position group that is the exception is the OL class. Kelvin Banks - 3 year starter and R1 draft pick. Outland and Lombardi winner. Cole Hutson - 2 year starter. At Guard his freshman year and now Center this upcoming year. Frequent contributer. Cam Williams - 1 year starter, draft pick. Never got to see his collegiate ceiling. Neto Umeozulu - Projected starter at guard this year after developing. Has proven he can put a Sooner on his @ss. Malik Agbo - One year contributer in 6 man OL package as a glorified inline TE. Sark running more true 12 personnel in 24 killed that package. Passed by others and transferred out. Connor Robertson - developing. Has only seen meaningful snaps in the 23 RRSO after injury to Majors. Projected backup at Center this year. Can he hold off Daniel Cruz? DJ Campbell - 2 year starter at Guard at multi year contributer. That's an absurd hit rate for OL. Can't really qualify anyone as a bust, as they have all meaningfully contributed at some point or are set to for 2025. 5 starters overall, 3 of which multiple years. 2 draft picks and counting. Big year for Neto and DJ to really show what they've got.

Not sure how many products are actually sold based on the commercial reads by Gerry, Bobby, etc., but their reads are so great. Maybe it's because they genuinely like the products, or because they want to do right by their advertisers. But they're awesome (whether or not I like the product).

How will Freeman and Robbins fit in? They both had more walks than Ks. 😀 Hopefully at least one of these new commits can adapt well to SEC pitching. We definitely need to improve the hitting and the power from last year. I am not sure if any of the incoming freshman will step up right away, particularly if Cunningham and Fien go pro.

Worst OTF Commercial…
All Gas No Brakes replied to Born Burnt Orange's topic in On Texas Football Forum
I understand their purpose. I was just expressing my disdain for all commercials, not just on OTF. I don’t discriminate 😂 -

Paying 7 figures for a softball player

I wonder if Tech has become the new evil empire in softball overtaking ou. ou was hated (outside of Norman) because they were dominant, Tech is becoming the bad guy outside of Lubbock for trying to buy a championship. To their credit, Tech fans are owning it saying, tell your boosters to spend money. But their excuse of ou and Texas has been paying players for years holds no water with me. It's not like Texas has been a powerhouse. The Cat years were primarily because of a once in a lifetime pitcher and only once Coach White arrived did Texas make noise in the WCWS. ou on the other hand, possibly, but it's not hard to believe that a standout pitcher wouldn't want to transfer there knowing they have a good chance at a championship. -
