Zaharias, Werchan, Sanders and O'Hara were gone before the start of the season.

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.

I wouldn’t think Flores would go very high in the draft. It is true though……that waiting until their senior year isn’t going to be much of a bonus at all.

FWIW, bonus ceiling for players taken in the 11th-20th rounds is $150K. Anything over that counts against a team's bonus pool for the first 10 rounds.

I have a question for you tomorrow for the live stream if I’m able to tune in that would probably be easier to talk about than type about. Be on the lookout for a baseball related question about scholarships

I’m pretty pumped to see that many names in the portal. Wish those players the best of luck. Looking forward to the next 2-3 weeks to see how things turn out.

Excellent. The only advantage of going out early is being able to hammer the transfer portal while other teams have to play. Lock these guys up before Ark, LSU and Tenn stop playing.

Jaquae Stewart hit the portal

Interesting to me how baseball recruiting seems to move underground almost. Names are rarely reported, seems like a ton of kids commit the moment they step on campus for their first visit, just not a lot of information to go around. I always wonder how the coaching staffs have achieved this level of secrecy in baseball but not other sports.

Was coming here to post this. You're correct.

 

INF Jaquae Stewart is now the tenth player to hit the portal.

Hey Blake,  

First, thank you for your coverage of Texas baseball.  Love it.  It’s an area that traditionally is simply skipped & it boggles my mind. So, if you are ever in doubt, please know we always want more.   
 

Secondly, you forgot to mention the names that we are hosting from the portal.

I didn't forget. 😉I've just been asked to hold them for the time being. 

 

Also, thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate it!
