.45s Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Sorry to see Courville go, but the 2 incoming freshman might work out. It wouldn't hurt to take another backup in the portal. Quote

bourbasted Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Is it possible this is a telling clue for Cain's replacement? In Blake's update he mentioned the coach from Oregon also works with the catchers (I think that's who it was). Wondering if Armstrong may have been given some advice on who would be working with him.

We can hope. The Oregon coach would be a really strong hire. 1 Quote
AusMOJO Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Great stuff and glad to hear it. With Tinney leaving, this slots in very nicely for Texas. Great pick up by the staff. 1 Quote

Arguably the biggest positional need for Texas in the transfer portal has been filled by one of the best catchers available. Apparently he is trash according to aggie so that must mean he’s legit af. I’m stoked! 1 Quote

Robbins played for Seton Hall and look how that turned out.. Just look at what Armstrong did against UCLA in the regional. Guy can really hit and he’s elite defensively.. 1 Quote
TrouperG Posted June 21 Posted June 21 (edited) Who will be our backup and emergency catchers, High School Prospects or are there other portal targets? Sorry if this has been addressed already. Nevermind, I see the incoming freshmen comments... Edited June 21 by TrouperG Quote

Armstrong has quite a bit of experience and against some decent competition. A great get. 1 Quote

Armstrong has quite a bit of experience and against some decent competition. A great get. Agreed. Armstrong also hit .364 with 5 home runs as a freshman. I honestly think he’s a better fit for us than Savoie bc he’s so good defensively. Savoie hasn’t even been a full time catcher. He’s played OF in his first 2 years of college ball. 1 Quote
