    My alma mayer 6A D2 state finalist last year West Brook beat Kingwood 55-21.

    My kids are in Brenham, how the F they're in region 4 is mind bottling.   Their 2nd round game is against Mercedes.  Could you find 2 schools in the same bracket farther apart?  Guessing they have to be playing it in Corpus next week

    Actually you all are playing Alice, not Mercedes.  I hear it's in San Antonio.

    If we beat Kerrvile and you guys beat Alice, we will meet again next week and I'm going to guess it will be in SA or maybe Victoria.

    Part of me thinks they will -- programs usually opt up when there are not enough nearby schools at the assigned level and there aren't many/any CC area 4AD1 schools.  

    Part of me thinks they'll stay down to increase their chances of finally winning a state championship.

    Danaher rules the roost in calallen, it'll be up to him and him alone 

     

     

    Since I'm kind of involved with things on the ground here in Calallen,  I'll guess we will fall where ever the UIL decides is the cutoff.  We might be the largest school in 4A or the smallest in 5A.   However I expect the dip if we do fall to 4A to be a two year thing as we do expect the enrollment to increase fairly steady after 2022 as we are building an additional elementary school to accommodate capacity right now.

    UT @ AM CC (I’ll assume whataburger field And not cabanis) is a damn great time. I highly recommend that road trip. 

    Always brings out the best crowd for an A&M CC game.  Most of their games save a handful are played on campus.

    And yes they serve up Whataburger, at slightly higher prices .

    Not football, but MLB teams don't rebrand very often. I love the more distinctive look, and the swinging padre logo is great.

    They need to bring back this hat as an option too.

    So from someone who isn't following baseball recruiting intently, how many of these guys won't ever play for Texas and instead will go pro?

    A few of them certainly will never wear a Longhorn uni come next fall ball season.  

    This is the same thing that bit Augie in the later days of his coaching career and the thing that sucks is you have to wait until June to find out which means it's too late to go back and ask some players who were passed over if they would like to come to Texas because they've already signed on elsewhere.   We know a family who had a son a few years ago sign on with the Horns during the signing period and he was listed in Baseball America and the other publications as going a lower 1st round or anywhere in the 2nd round.   The only way he was going to Austin is if he got picked in the 3rd round by a couple of organizations who were total dog shit back then and still to some extent are today.    Why coaches waste their time and resources on signing kids like the Kelley kid is just dumb strategy other than it looks good in the media.  That one class this kid  noted  above  was in had I think six or seven  more kids who never wore a UT baseball uni, so it left Augie scrambling for kids they should have made offers for in the first place.  Those types end up at places like Tech and look how much their baseball program has improved.
