***Texas Baseball Portal Thread (Updated: Friday 9:35 AM)

Thursday 10:37 AM UPDATE: That didn’t take long. Two more have entered:

INF Carson Luna

C Oliver Service 

I still expect at least one more announced today.

Schloss definitely exceeded expectations with a roster with mostly Pierce’s guys. He’s now bringing his guys in.

IMO he will use NIL better than Pierce's everyone gets a piece but he will also have more scholarships available to use in place of NIL to mid and lower roster guys due to NCAA stuff.

Schloss said on the Zone this morning that he would like to have Galvan and Flores.  Man Galvan would be great, but I’d like to get better at SS. 

Not gonna lie that surprises me on Flores.

This really isn’t anything personal against any of these kids, but the regional tournament showed that to compete we must get better……across the board and added several more dependable pitchers.

As he should.

[Blake Munroe]

12:10 PM Update: A little late to report this, as I was away, but RHP Easton Tumis has entered the portal. This was expected, as all that have been announced today were. 

[Blake Munroe]

That’s now nine that have departed the team:

— LHP Chance Covert

— OF Tommy Farmer IV

— OF Donovan Jordan

— Carson Luna

— INF/OF Sam Richardson

— C Oliver Service 

— OF Matt Scott II

— RHP Easton Tumis

— LHP Ace Whitehead

[Bevohorns]

I want to hear some good news who we landing in the portal ??

[HenryJames]

[PeteyinRichmondTX]

I’m excited about the team already!

We have a good core of players who contributed returning. Mendoza, ARod, Volantis, Burns, Grubbs, Borba, Chamberlain, Winfield, Harrison, Jonah, Riojas

Walker, Sauiner, and Flores with another year under the Wiener Factory could be huge next year.

Are those UVA guys going to end up at Miss St, or will Texas get involved?

Ford will end up signing in the draft. Top 75 overall prospect.

Becker will be at Mississippi State most likely.

Teel is also a major draft risk. Top 150 type prospect.

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

The only guy leaving that I didn’t want to see go at this point is Farmer.

[Caden Kuykendall]

Any other portal guys expected to visit?

How was he this season? Awful. Good he hit some home runs but he was trash in conference hitting .176 BA. Sorry not sorry but he wasn't good.

 

.239 BA - 11th on team
.808 OPS - 8th on team
.317 OB% - 13th on team
4th on team in strike outs

Tied for team lead in errors 
Above average in terms of fielding percentage. 


 

I agree 100%.  

Ever wondered what our record would have been if Pierce was still here?

I'm sure he would, but Galvan and Flores (even though he didn't have a great year) would cost themselves a lot of money by not taking the signing bonus they'd get in the draft. Seniors in the draft have no leverage and sign for peanuts.

It wouldn't have been better than it was in 2024. The staff almost had to deal with a player revolt heading into the NCAA Tournament.

My gut tells me Texas would've put up more of a fight to keep him if an upgrade wasn't on the way.
