Schloss says the draft hit Texas pretty hard late in the cycle but he expects the Horns to have plenty of options

Schloss says from a pitching standpoint, he says he doesn’t like the idea of “pitcher only” Wants to coach that out of them to add athleticism.

Schloss is here.

Dylan Volantis says he’s been messing around with a change up, and that he’s excited to throw it this year.

Who are the freshmen to watch this year?

Finally I have something to gamble on

Volantis is up to 225 he says. Anthony Pack was mentioned as a newcomer at the plate who has been doing well. Aiden Robbins has been “outstanding” and hits the ball hard seemingly every time he’s up to the plate.

@CJ Vogel anything on Jonah Williams

Volantis also mentioned Brett Crossland. The third player to mention him so far today.

Dylan Volantis: “I’m not a starter, or a closer, I’m a Longhorn.”

Added Casey Borba's comments today as well.

I'll admit there's no character in No Country for Old Men or Blood Meridian like Woodrow F. Call. That's what you gotta have to defeat evil. There are men like that.

<insert comment from grouchy OTF subscriber asking whether the baseball team has anyone who can play guard>

Chiguhr never did drugs. Other people sold them. He had more principles than any of the other guys.

@Blake Munroe Smotherman fight is cancelled...He passed out at the weigh ins...scary stuff.

Texas Baseball Availability Nuggets *** 2B Ethan Mendoza — Ethan Mendoza says he added 15 pounds this offseason. Says he is currently up to about 200 pounds after playing around 183-185 in 2025. Mentioned his exit velocities have improved and he feels better as a whole overall even when off the field. — Mendoza says pitching depth is really noticeable this year. Sam Cozart “is throwing gas” and praise for Max Grubbs as well. Says Cody Howard “looks really good in bullpens and (intrasquad) games.” — Mendoza says the freshmen and guys out of the portal will help on the basepaths. — Mendoza speaking on the Texas culture under Jim Schlossnagle: “We are gritty… we are going to show up and try to outwork everyone, that is our goal.” OF Aiden Robbin’s — Robbins said Jim Schlossnagle called him within 30 Minutes of entering the portal. On his visit he walked into the Disch and got chills, which went a long way towards his decision. Says he considered Tennessee, LSU, Texas A&M but is glad he ended up at Texas. — ”I’m a good hitter, and can play some defense. I take pride in playing both sides of the ball.” — On pitchers standouts: Brett Crossland, Max Grubbs, Dylan Volantis, Kaleb Rogers “we are looking really good right now, I’m excited.” — Says he’s played outfield every year of his baseball life since he was about eight years old. Says he will play any of the three positions back there. — Robbins says the outfielders collectively call the outfield “The Graveyard.” Casey Borba — Borba says he played everywhere in the infield growing up, so the transition to first base has been smooth. Borba says he is doing work at both spots at the moment. At 3B, Josh Livingston and Temo Becerra are both getting time at third base as well. — Says the goal is “Omaha and to win a National Championship.” Borba mentioned this is in no way a rebuilding year for Texas. — Anthony Pack was mentioned as a player who could surprise this season by Borba. Borba also said Jason Flores has “looked good all fall.” — a few of the older guys on the team have had team outings at someone’s house to get the whole team out for team building exercises. Luke Harrison and Cody Howard were given “pit masters” credits.

Rumor has Paddy and O’Malley swapping barbers !

Throwing in the towel means they wouldn’t even play waste means thy didn’t do what the needed to do to win a championship I think it will waste Arch and the skill talent as well as two running backs you just paid a ton for while not upgrading the blocking Arch was one of the most pressured QBs in the country last year and our run game was ranked 90th. The Oline derailed much of last year and I’m afraid it will do it again. Let’s not even talk about an injury

I see what they haven’t done

This CFP committee, the NCAA, (insert any other body that thinks it has credibility with authority) - all such a joke. I'm a huge fan of collusion at this point - defined as every team agreeing to drop ND from their respective schedule - their agreement is a joke within this CFP joke

This is something that has to be at the top of every schools list to fix. These young men are being led to slaughter with lies.

I'm in love with Dan Lanning, Joe. Ain't know where.
