  1. A development that may work in our favor with a few guys coming up.
  2. It's a big blow because of the current state of the RB big board.
  3. This is what our class looked like at this time last year: KJ Lacey Lance Jackson Elijah Barnes James Simon Coleman triplets Emaree Winston End of list. Not sure how you can say they are slow playing guys when they sit with 2x the commitments they had at this time a year ago.
  4. And we have 4 years of data points saying that is the correct strategy.
  5. You think the current 13 commits in the class committed for free?
  6. DT Caleb Banks at Florida OT Kadyn Proctor at Bama S KJ Bolden at Georgia
  7. All 3 of these guys have more proven track records than Winfield did, who hit .276 at ULM in Sun Belt play in the same league Freeman just hit .345 in.
  8. Women’s Soccer continues to be the most underperforming sport on campus compared to where we should be. At least in mind.
  9. Maybe he’s just celebrating being a Longhorn and not an Aggie?
  10. Auburn allocated a larger chunk of revenue share money to baseball than most SEC schools. Same with South Carolina. Tennessee, LSU, Arkansas have been leading the NIL arms race for a while. That isn’t new.
  11. These non-football sports don't have the money fairies some people think they do. Pierce wasn't the best at generating excitement or NIL funds, but it wasn't like there were a bunch of "baseball boosters" waiting on their yachts for a call. I think that NIL is in a better place than a year or two ago, but we aren't that far removed from losing portal prospects to Oklahoma State in baseball over money. The house settlement adds another layer to everything, as certain schools are carving out larger chunks of the $20.5 million for baseball than Texas is. So any dollar that doesn't come from the house settlement has to be made up for in outside NIL. But you are absolutely right. Let it play out.
  12. 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.
  13. This was likely the "fan favorite" portal candidate that Blake hinted at weeks ago.
  14. This is a hilarious way to look at it when you consider all the sports. Why didn’t basketball not making a 64 team tournament field cost us the directors cup? Or Volleyball losing in the sweet 16? Or Women’s soccer winning the SEC championship then not making it out of the second round?
  15. Buddy they led the SEC in ERA despite losing their Friday night starter halfway through conference play. This is an insane argument.
  16. Situational hitting and the bullpen is the only reason this team even hosted. What are you talking about?
  17. Winfield’s 4 hits against mighty Prairie View A&M represent almost 1/3rd of his total hits for the season. He strikes out in 45% of his plate appearances, has 1 hit in 12 AB’s in SEC play and has looked lost in the outfield. Of people who should maybe get more playing time, he is pretty far down the list. And what he did last year doesn’t matter. We have a 50+ AB sample size of him this year.
  18. Is any roster “built” for a losers bracket? There is a reason the winner of the 1-0 game wins the regional 85% of the time or whatever it is.
  19. They didn’t seem very hungry when they got down 6-1 the first 5 innings. Texas lost that game for a number of reasons. Desire to win and “hunger” don’t come in anywhere close to the top of the list.
  20. The funny part is it really isn’t. A different pitcher takes the mound for both sides every day. You think we lose tonight if Volantis was available? If we win tonight with Volantis does that give us “momentum” going into a game he won’t pitch in tomorrow? It ain’t like football or basketball where the same guys roll out day after day.
  21. Okay just simply asking who you would have over Texas at this point. It’s called a resume and body of work for a reason. The gap is still pretty big between Texas and everyone else regardless of what metric you look at. If we lose the series in Norman things can change but right now this is at worst the #2 overall seed and I’m still not quite sure who you are putting at 1. Arkansas, who has lost 4 of their last 5 series? LSU, who Texas beat H2H? Georgia, who just lost a series to Alabama and who Texas swept.
  22. Who are the 3-4 teams with resumes better than Texas? I get recency bias is a thing, but Texas still is the only SEC team with 20 wins (no other team has more than 17), has a top 3 RPI, the most Q1 wins in the country (15) and a top 12 SOS.
