There’s lots of chatter about Ricky Vaughn.

I'm not sure whether they do require caps and sleeves in our new league, so this checks out

So it sounds like they are gonna hire Earley?

Hiring Earley would be incredibly emotional and shortsighted.

Haven't Aggies spent the past 2 years telling us about the gauntlet of the SEC schedule? And they will be happy to roll with a guy with zero HC experience? Sure, he may keep some current portalers, but that isn't how you build a program.

[Hank_Hill 18893]

Yea, hiring Earley to “stick it to the sips” would be a bump in the road for us as far as portal players but would be a long term train wreck for them. Doit.gif

Well he does have "feel the team's pain" part down...

If they hire Earley I wonder if Schloss looks at Tulo for that assistant position? I think he was let go because Schloss was bringing in his own Director of Player Development but would he be open to Tulo in another role?

Good question. Reading the Earley to aggy as a possibility I was wondering if he could come back into play as well.

This does bring up one item for our team moving forward. Schloss has been a Wilson guy at TCU and tamu, curious if he brings that brand with him or allows players to use any brand they want. Most of our players have used Rawlings gloves and LS bats in the past, not all but most.

Back to roster building.

Bad Bull you stupid sip!  Jace is an aggy true and true. Doesn’t want to be in the portal, but has no choice!  None of the other 11 in the portal want to leave their dream school either!

Trev: Did you know Schloss was hatching a plan to fuck us in the ass for months? 

Earley: No 

Trev: You sure about that, boss? 

Earley: Yeah, wtf 

[David Dennison 18940]

I hope they ask him about burner phones.

The Aggies in the portal- I wonder if it is being communicated to them that they will be subjected to a lot more abusive nonsense from Ags if they portal to Texas, rather than any other school.

Jokes on you, stupid sip, they stole back an assistant with no head coaching experience.

Do they think inking a new baseball coach is going to overshadow this? It would be mentioned and that’s it. They aren’t going to all of a sudden go live at the SEC studios for the announcement of a new baseball coach at Texas A&M. 

[Deej 76868]

They might for the lulz.

[Beau Vine 54328]

There are so many aggy amateur reporters on twitter that it's pretty much impossible to get real information.  

So far I've read that they were going to hire Heefner, Skip, Walter, and that they were going to have a press conference last night.  And now they're throwing Earley at the wall.  

[Nueces River Rat 5539]

Looch has apparently reported that the Wake Forest coach turned them down is no longer a candidate.
So they're down to Earley, and, well...

I think we can all read between the lines and discern that the unnamed candidates are Dave Roberts, Bruce Bochy, Craig Counsell, Buck Showalter, and Tony LaRussa.  Aaron Boone's buyout is considered to be too large to justify, in spite of Boone's strong interest in College Station.  

They might be digging up Billy Martin and Tommy Lasorda and throwing their names into the pot.

“Fucked over” feels a little strong. The new coach is bringing in his guys. That’s normal. If things change then bringing him back makes sense if he wants to be in staff at Texas.

Unless he is referring to promises made by Pierce or CDC. Schloss gets to pick his team, so that can't be it.

[Hank_Hill 18893]

Lol at them convincing themselves Earley may not have known. The dude was on the Texas site in a Texas uniform 24 hours after their championship game of fucking course he knew.

[Rickylovesweed 14534]

If Earley is hired, I wonder if Schloss will go after Tennessee's hitting coach/top assistant in Elander. 

He played for Schloss and was a student assistant at TCU.

Elander serves the same role as Nolan Cain, he isn’t taking a demotion.

Schloss Weiner & Cain didn't come snatch him up in a Good Times Van like in Old School.  He was onboard.

LOL, my Mexican wife (no pics) is the 'anti mijo mom', I guess. She's more likely to get on our boys' asses for not taking an extra base when they can, not making the tough play, only going 1 for 3, etc. 

My boys' high school is known as a strong baseball school, but neither one of them ever got a serious look because they weren't playing select ball imho. I believe, and I've also heard things that back me up, that the coach (Coach A) has a sweet deal with a particular select team. Every kid on his team comes from that team unless they are incredible. From what I hear, most coaches' tryouts are at minimum several hours for one day and most are multiple days, several hours a day. Coach A's tryout is about 2 hours, where they take grounders and fly balls, pitch, and hit, but only against the machine, and only like 10-15 pitches. No live hitting. My boys were both cut after that 2 hour session, along with several other very good players, not even given a shot at JV2 as freshmen or sophomores. Then the varsity coach at the rival school nextdoor, Coach B, actively and illegally afaik recruited both of them to transfer & play on his varsity team. They declined, because they didn't want to transfer, but they play RBI now with Coach B's varsity kids from the neighboring school, and are in the top 5 out there. One is one of the top pitchers, and the other is the best hitter and also pitches, on a team of varsity and JV kids, despite their relative lack of travel ball experience. The younger one worked out over the winter with a team that has several senior kids headed to play college ball, and he's one of the better players, but Coach A has no time for him and others like him.

Some of you might know who Coach A is, just based on my description of him. 

I really appreciate the good coaches out there who love the game, can spot inexperienced talent, and are willing to take time to coach those kids up and see what they can become. Sadly, it seems like some HS coaches these days don't really want to do that much coaching at all, even when a kid has obvious talent, and will go with mediocre talent from a select team over a kid with obvious talent who didn't play hundreds of select ball ring tournaments. /csb
