  1. Another day, another commitment for the Texas Baseball staff. Schlossnagle and Co. head back to the JUCO ranks for the second consecutive day with the commitment of Ethan Walker, a LHP out of Walters State Community College. Walker pitched 30 innings at Walters State this past season, striking out 38, yet accumulating a 4.80 ERA. Walker sits with a 3-quarter delivery off the left side of the mound. He sits mostly around the upper 80's with his fast ball though brings a plus curveball to his game.
  2. Love that! For anyone bored at work, these two matches going on in the men's singles are tremendous to watch currently.
  3. Still waiting on a video board to be implemented after some renovations to DKR this offseason. Texas has been making steady improvements to the stadium since the offseason including video board improvements across the facades of the upper decks. A quick update from the outside of the stadium shows the video board is still being worked on. The video board should connect all the way across the upper scoreboard, whereas previously there was about a 15-foot shortage on each side.
  4. Jordan Whittington was technically classified as an ATH. Quandre Diggs, Adrian Phillips, Duke Thomas all the same.
  5. FWIW Sun was ranked 123rd in the world prior to the start of Wimbledon. That ranking will certainly rise. Vekic sits 37th.
  6. Former Longhorn tennis star Lulu Sun has seen her Wimbledon run come to an end. A 7–5, 4–6, 1–6 loss to Donna Vekic concludes what had been a special run for the former Longhorn across the pond. Sun will return home with a quarterfinal appearance in this year's Wimbledon tournament, where she had previously not won a single match in any major tennis tournament. Future is bright!
  7. Pettijohn had no business leaving the state. Thats as surprising a recruitment I’ve seen this cycle.
  8. They both sit around 87-90 with their fast ball and rely on offspeed and locations to get ahead of opposing batters.
  9. Add another arm to the equation in 2025 for Jim Schlossnagle and Max Weiner. Texas has received a commitment from McClennon LHP Kade Bing, first reported by Dustin McComas of 5-Tool Baseball. Bing provides another left handed arm to the picture after seeing texas mostly stock up on righties offseason. Bing sits mostly in the upper 80’s with his fastball, but it is his offspeed and easy delivery that allow for him to be in the rotation conversation for 2025. Think a right-handed Ace Whitehead. As a freshman at McClennan, Bing went 9–2 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.
  10. Comment from about Rodriguez from a buddy coaching in the DFW area: "Dude is without a doubt the best hitter in 6A... He is a switch hitter who just barrels everything. Plays with emotion. Just a tough out."
  11. Thomas Hudl: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18759638/651a1232b534d311a0cd9894
  12. The Texas staff has extended an offer to 2026 ATH Jordan Thomas out of Bergen Catholic HS in West Orange, New Jersey. Thomas projects as a defensive back at the collegiate level and has been a steady riser this offseason. The last four offers prior to Texas were Auburn, Cincinnati, Georgia and Notre Dame. Also worth noting that Thomas is from the same high school as current Longhorn Sydir Mitchell.
  13. Pretty impressive. Raducanu had been playing very well on grass leading up to Wimbledon.
  14. Sure would be.
  15. I will have to check. Haven’t heard that name yet.
  16. I chatted briefly with Kelshaun Johnson ahead of his decision. Johnson will announce at 4:15 pm on Monday. He has been in communication with both Texas and Texas A&M in the last day or two as well. That is the final two I am expecting going into Monday.
