    Those ranking reward quantity. South Carolina had to sign a completely new roster. 24 guys. Missouri would crawl over broken glass for our current portal class. Taking a handful of impact players > taking 15 average joes. Prime example: the #4 “best” portal class last year belonged to…..South Carolina. The #15 “best” portal class belonged to…Texas. Which one was actually better?

    Trust me, I understand everything you said. It’s pretty evident when you see LSU doing what they are doing, meanwhile we have people talking about the 70’s with Cliff Gustafson and “energizing” boosters with our hall of fame coach.

    The program that went 9-21 this year? I think they would agree it’s pretty hard to win year in and year out.

    Gus won it twice in 29 years. Augie won it twice in 20 years. Both in a completely different era of baseball where it was EASIER to win because there were not as many competitive teams or programs who cared about baseball. So it’s great they fully expected to win it every year. They didn’t do in 45 of the 49 years. Insinuating Texas doesn’t want or expect to win every time they step in the field is just some form of message board fan fiction.

    Most know the real answer. There is just a small fraction wandering in the wilderness making up other excuses. Maybe there will be a wake up call at some point. Hopefully it doesn’t involve a subpar season.

    And Schloss has a great record here. Yet some (not saying you) seem to think he needs to “energize” people more. I guess winning conference titles and going to Omaha doesn’t get people fired up enough. Maybe Schloss will call unproven head coach Michael Earley to find out how he gets donors “energized” following back to back disappointing seasons.
  8. Assistant Regional Manager
    Yes. A top 10 one. Then Jay Jonson threw them all under the bus in April and said they weren’t good. Now he gets more money and a do-over. Must be nice. If that season happened at Texas all we would hear is NIL won’t increase until results are shown on the field!
  9. Assistant Regional Manager
    It’s either that or Jay Johnson got the donors real “energized” coming off a 9-21 season. A real mystery.

    Dude. Everything is proportional. Do you not realize how massive it is in a sport like baseball to get $1+ million directly from the university in rev share at a place like LSU or A&M? That is almost 20% of your roster budget you don’t have to “energize” from your donors. Do not try to say Texas adding outfield seating for a regional proves there is institutional commitment for baseball. There is a difference between that and giving the program actual dollars for the roster. You know that. I’m going to go enjoy the rest of my Friday night. Hopefully Jim Schlossnagle calls me later to get me energized for the season.

    NIL is not the sole responsibility of the head coach. There has to be institutional commitment and buy-in. I see you in every basketball thread and I know you saw Gerry say that CDC stepped up to the plate to help out Miller and the program. I’m beginning to realize this back and forth is pointless. You believe that Schloss needs to “energize” a bunch of donors that already give money. I guess Jay Johnson and Michael Earley did a great job energizing their donors coming off great seasons! Texas needs better institutional commitment to baseball. Tradition and history and the most CWS appearances of all time don’t win bidding wars. You think the only reason Nolan Cain left is a pay raise? He has worked at both places and knows the resources he has to work with.
  12. Assistant Regional Manager
    So to be clear, you think Schloss was able to energize everyone at A&M to give boatloads of money but isn’t able to do that here because he isn’t doing a good enough job of “energizing” everyone at Texas? That sounds silly just typing it out.
  13. Assistant Regional Manager
    Have you ever stepped back and wondered by baseball NIL at A&M was never a problem for Schlossnagle or elite head coach Michael Earley? Was Schloss was able to energize donors at A&M but isn’t able to do it at Texas? I find that hard to believe.
  14. Assistant Regional Manager
    So 2 years ago it was people weren’t donating because they didn’t like David Pierce. Then we get the best coach available now we want to blame him too for NIL. If the same thing is happening under two different regimes, perhaps it isn’t the coaches fault. This fanbase is really good about raising and spending hypothetical NIL money.
  15. Assistant Regional Manager
    We have 3 of the top 50 transfers, per Kiley McDaniel. Second most behind LSU and Mississippi State, who both have 4.
  16. Assistant Regional Manager
    There are several SS/2B types still in the portal I would prioritize over a high level OF if Mendoza truly isn’t returning. They have options in the OF, both on campus, in the recruiting class and remaining in the portal. And you have a solid floor with Pack and Solitaria. There are very few options at second base and that isn’t a spot I would bank on a true freshman for.
  17. Assistant Regional Manager
    I don’t remember Blake saying Texas was looking good for the first two. I remember him saying they visited. I also never sensed that he thought Laya to Texas was done. He just said Texas vs LSU with a decision expected soon. That should make anyone nervous knowing the NIL support LSU has.
  18. Assistant Regional Manager
    I suggest you go look at Ian Armstrong's stats and compare them to Carson Tinney's final year at Notre Dame.

    Your portal freakout schtick in every sport is tiring. Especially when it isn't even over and the draft hasn't even taken place. Georgia is replacing almost their entire team. Texas is not. I would sure hope a team replacing 8 starters and their entire weekend rotation is being more active than the team that isn't. "It's okay to admit Texas is not doing great". They have 3 of the top 50 players in the country committed. You seem to have this vision that we would just bring in 7 elite portal players to play with Pack and Rodriguez, and that is not how this works.
  20. Assistant Regional Manager
    Georgia is losing 129 home runs, 391 RBI's, all 3 weekend starters, their closer and their top 2 setup guys. You have no idea whether they will be better or not. They are basically replacing their entire team.
  21. Assistant Regional Manager
    Sure, in small sample sizes it is misleading. When you have almost 30 innings, it’s usually pretty accurate of how you pitched. He is a project. That was my point. And when you have a limited number of slots available, you usually want more of a sure thing than 27 walks in 29 innings.
  22. Assistant Regional Manager
    His ERA last year started with the number 9. We have plenty of high upside guys with HS pedigree already on the roster. If they only want to add 1 or 2 pitchers, it should be more proven arms.
  23. Assistant Regional Manager
    I was surprised a few weeks ago when I saw his OPS in SEC play (.925) actually ended up being better than his overall season one for the season (.919).
  24. Assistant Regional Manager
    I’ll never understand comments like this when a player isn’t even bad. Career .931 OPS while playing excellent defense. He had several other SEC teams telling him he had a spot if Texas didn’t want him back.
  25. Assistant Regional Manager
    Then why is that graphic titled “my game predictions for the Texas Longhorns”. Nobody is picking games against the spread this time of year. Spreads aren’t even available for the majority of games.
