Really thought this one would bounce Texas’ way, but it didn’t.

FYI I’m expecting at least two more big time pitchers to transfer to Texas.

Add another one to the list for Texas baseball, as the Longhorns have grabbed a commitment from Thomas Burns of Arizona State. The freshman right handed pitcher dealt 39 strikeouts in just 30.1 innings of play, holding his opponents to a .213 average at the plate. He finished the year with a 4.75 ERA.

It’s a new day and a new month, with a new conference home. Join us for Coffee and Football as we discuss all the latest Longhorns news, plus take your questions.

lol damn autocorrect. Fixing now. Thank you!

Tulo is on the field. Drew Bishop was the pivotal off the field role.

Already posted about it in a different thread!

Winfield hit .332/.414/.546 w/10 HR + 18 SB in 2023.

Easton Winfield has committed to Texas. Winfield is one of the top portal prospects after playing at Louisiana-Monroe the past two seasons. He hit .332/.414/.546 w/10 HR + 18 SB in 2023. More to come..

More staff additions for the Longhorns, as Schlossnsgle and Co. have hired Chuck Box as the Director of Program Development. Box served in this same role at Texas A&M for the past three seasons. Prior to that, he was the Head Baseball Coach at Hartfield Academy in Jackson, Miss.

That’s alright. When it’s football season guess who will be living the dream while the rest of them work? Turnabout is fair play.

Everyone loves Drew. He knows the state of Texas, and more specifically the recruiting within Texas and the other big baseball states, really really well. Very respected. Being a part of Five Tool is huge. Them and Perfect Game are the two biggest baseball organizations out there.

Pshhhhh you know I got yall when it comes to baseball. Errrbody just hold up. Post incoming.

Ahem. Some of us are working 😉

Been sitting on this for a few days now, but I can finally announce that Drew Bishop is returning to Texas baseball. He originally played for the Longhorns under then head coach Augie Garrido, before transitioning to the “Director of Baseball Ops” role for 13 years. Bishop then served as the Director of Scouting for Five Tool since 2021. “Really excited to be back home and get to work with the new staff and on the road to Omaha,” Bishop told On Texas Football. He will return to his old role with the Longhorns.

The Longhorns baseball program has announced that Troy Tulowitzki is rejoining the program. He will work with the infielders, as well as being the Texas hitting coach.

Also, mark my words, Texas A&M will say “Tony Vitello didn’t have experience!!!” And will use that as a data point while ignoring others.

Working on this. Will have an update when I can.

No. The couple are Earley and Longley. But thank you for reminding me to put in there that we don’t expect Max or Cain to be gone.

New update:

On Texas Football is expecting a couple of shakeups to the Texas staff beginning today. Texas A&M is set to hire new Texas assistant coach Michael Earley as their head coach. Earley spent the last three years in College Station on Jim Schlossnagle's staff. We expect that hire to be made public soon. The fact is Texas A&M Athletic Director Trev Alberts set his sights on Earley after failing to lock in a couple of other candidates. It's somewhat of a risky hire for the Aggies, as Earley has no head coaching experience and only eight years of coaching experience total. I've been told the big money at Texas A&M was expecting a much bigger name when it came to fulfilling this position. We also expect the Longhorns to lose Caleb Longley from their staff. Longley spent the last three years in Austin under former coach David Pierce. Both Longley and Earley spent time working together at Arizona State. OTF does not expect for anyone else on the staff to leave at this time. What does this mean for Texas? It mainly affects portal recruiting, as it will be much tougher to pull the Texas A&M players who entered the portal after Schloss' departure. We originally thought the Horns could land three to four former Aggies, but now I don't believe that to be the case. Texas continues to be very active in the portal and that will be the status quo over the next few weeks. As I reported yesterday, the Longhorns are also set to make an off the field hire in a pivotal role. In fact, that hire has already been made, but expect it to be public relatively soon. It's a name Texas fans are familiar with and will generate some buzz.

AD wanted Earley. Donors wanted a big name. The AD won out. Not expecting Texas to lose anyone else, staff wise, for what it’s worth.

Yes. I can. 😉
