  1. Max Belyeu and Galvan played for Twelve as well coming out of HS. There is definitely an Aggie slant with that organization but good luck trying to steer kids away from Texas.
  2. https://www.texastwelve.com/ I know Ryan Brauninger is involved in this org.
  3. Heard a rumor that Will Mercer might try to come back and use his medical redshirt year. Reminder that he was throwing 95 last fall and was set to be the closer before getting hurt.
  4. Another A&M guy Schloss is trying to bring over. Has a lot of southeast connections and was one of the reasons A&M got their foot in the door with Montgomery. https://12thman.com/sports/baseball/roster/staff/chuck-box/668
  5. I read yesterday he was on a visit to Auburn. Already visited LSU too. Might be tough to get our foot in the door there. He also has some injury concerns.
  6. The relationships with assistants is what you want to bank on with these A&M guys. It’s understandable a few might have hard feelings towards Schloss but Earley/Cain/Weiner is who they work with the most. And in Earley and Cain’s case they recruited a lot of them. Schlossnagle will get hands on with portal recruitments and certain HS recruitments but Cain will do most of the heavy lifting.
  7. Laviolette is going to be a tough battle with LSU.
  8. Portal pickup. Time to assemble a roster fellas.
  9. I think this is one of the A&M guys (not LaViolette).
  10. There aren’t many times where you can bring your entire staff over from your old school and have it not be a bunch of comfort hires. This is one of those times.
  11. Had David Pierce coaching pitchers a month ago and now have the best pitching coach in the country LOLOLOL
  12. Sorrell (OF), Grahovic (3B/OF), Kent (INF/OF), Moss (RHP), Lamkin (LHP), LaViolette (OF) are some A&M players to keep an eye on. Current portal guys to keep an eye on (credit to current members of the team for recruiting guys while there basically wasn't a coaching staff in place for 3 weeks): Myles Patton (LHP, Long Beach State)- pretty sure this one is already close to being locked up Easton Winfield (OF, ULM)- I think this one is pretty far down the tracks as well Gavin Kilen (SS, Louisivlle)- Top SS in the portal and held off deciding so he could visit A&M after the CWS
  13. Tony Vitello isn't coming to Texas. The fact he continues to be mentioned in the same breath as Schlossnagle tells me that they just needed someone else to pair with Schloss in these conversations. He is getting a fat extension from Tennessee and has everything he needs there. If it isn't Schloss, it will be a candidate from the tier below.
  14. A&M is apparently supposed to arrive back home between 12-12:30 this afternoon.
  15. The good ones know just the right times to pull back the reins, both with their players and their staff.
  16. Pretty much every successful coach in the history of ever has some ass-hole in him. If not you are probably a total pushover.
  17. Longley did pretty much everything offensively and was the recruiting coordinator. Rodriguez spot-recruited some, but, from all accounts, didn't do much.
  18. Steve Rodriguez made 375k? The dude basically stole money from us.
  19. But Clayton Kershaw trained with him for a couple of offseasons!
  20. I don't think you see many portal flips in baseball. Apparently, some guys on the current team have been trying to recruit portal guys for the last few weeks. There are a few undecided guys I have my eyes on.
  21. Skip Johnson must have the best agent in the country to keep getting linked to these jobs as a coach with 1 good year and 6 years of below-average results.
  22. And if for some reason it isn't Schlossnagle I would have to assume this thing is still moving at warp speed. We just basically went an entire month without a head coach so the sense of urgency has to be high. We should be hosting portal visitors by this weekend.
