Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 1 Moderators Posted July 1 RHP Gavin King of Middle Tennessee State has committed to the Longhorns. King visited Texas late last week and was the visitor I spoke of before the dead period. The Horns may still add one more arm in the portal. 18 1 Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted July 1 Author Moderators Posted July 1 I know a lot of you will see the stats and scratch your head, which I get. But…. He hasn’t had the best coaching…. Pretty much ever. He had a solid back half of the season. He was battling back from Tommy John surgery. Wiener likes him a lot. 16 1 Quote

HornPharmD12 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Are there any sure-fire pitchers we could add as pitcher #3 for next year? When you already have 2 of the best pitchers in the entire country, seems silly to not have a 3rd reliable / proven arm if you want to win a natty Quote

Well, since we have three hitting coaches now we should be able to get him to start tapping into that upside. 1 Quote

HornPharmD12 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Hope Crossland can bring it as a starter! Looked promising when his command was on point 2 minutes ago, Jeff Howe said: They'll likely look to make one of Walls, Winter or Crossland into the third starter. Quote

He’s pretty good The better question (which I don’t know the answer to) is how did he hit against the real big10 teams and strong OOC opponents. Because there is a lot of bad baseball played at the middle/bottom of the big10 Edited July 1 by pinkman_90 2 Quote
