That sucks. Is it the NIL or why isn't Texas able to land their top targets?

 

We probably should just shut the program down.

Luckily, what Schloss has built, we don't need several

OU and Alabama have landed multiple commits while in Omaha.

This board would melt down if we were landing the type of players they were.

OU recently landed a backup INF from A&M and middle reliever from UTA. They are playing in a different sandbox than the type of guys Texas is trying to get.

Savoie to ATM. That sucks. 

[HornsAlwaysGoUp]

Relax ladies, it was just a question.

[Jeff Howe]

Ian Armstrong of St. Mary's and Nolan Traeger of TCU are the other top portal catching targets for the staff.

[Caden Kuykendall]

[Orangeblooded]

That dude struck out at least 4 times in the two games against us.

This would be massive

Elite defender.

It seems like there is not as many big name player's hitting the portal as in the past couple of years.

No idea. Just know we’re in the market for a catcher.

I’d love to add him to the roster.     Has a cannon and seemed solid behind the plate

Seems like a good player for the bottom of the lineup that can produce.  Almost like a borba

We've mentioned this in the other portal threads, but so that everyone has it here in the main threads:

— Yesterday and today, Texas has hosted St. Mary's catcher Ian Armstrong and Kent State OF/UTIL Sawyer Solitaria. Those visits will wrap up ahead of the weekend dead period.

— Oregon OF Angel Laya is a target of interest for the Longhorns. As of now, he's the only one of the Oregon transfers OTF believes is a target for the staff (that could change, but we haven't heard of any interest between Texas and Naulivou Lauaki Jr. and Burke-Lee Mabeus as of now).

— The proposed draft rule changes that were leaked as part of the ongoing dialogue related to Major League Baseball's Collective Bargaining Agreement are just that: proposed changes. Nothing has gone into effect that will impact the Texas roster in 2027.

— With Texas Tech's Linkin Garcia the only portal addition thus far, here are the positional needs OTF believes the staff will try to address in the portal: pitchers (3), outfielders (2), infielders (2) and catchers (1).

— The following Longhorns have entered the transfer portal as of Friday, June 19: RHP Cooper Rummel, OF Will Hill, RHP Jadyn Ferguson and C Presley Courville

Does the loss of the recruiting coordinator to A&M hamper going after portal targets or are they still solid in that regard?

I haven't heard anything negative in that regard since the Cain news came out.
