Is Bevo there Lobo? I am really interested to see if Bevo and Schloss have a natural bond and if Schloss willingly reaches out. Bevo is a huge part of our University and football program so if he has

Sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum but I didn’t see much scanning the last few pages - is everything settled for who is and isn’t making it to campus from the recruiting class and do you guys feel good about that? Similarly, did we get any surprises, good or bad, from the guys already on campus who were drafted?

Monday is the first day of class.  Then we'll know who has made it to campus.  Then we watch for flunk outs, or someone who gets hurt/dismissed during fall practice.

Dumb question by Joe Cook.   We did that with Baylor for a few years then changed back.   Inconvenient for fans and players.

We did it for both Baylor and A&M regularly in the 2000s, before the ags left the B12, which I'm certain is why he asked it.  I always attended the home games and never the road games.

Of the high school recruits, Rainer (infielder), Gillen (outfielder), and Sterling (pitcher) were locks to get drafted highly so it wasn't a surprise to see them sign.

DeGroat (pitcher) was a coinflip-ish decision that didn't go our way.

I believe Jason Flores (pitcher) and Drew Rerick (pitcher) were the biggest wins in terms of keeping potential draft picks.

On the college player side, Jared Thomas was a near-lock to be a high draft pick and sign, no shock there. I thought there would be a small chance at bringing back LBJ for a ear of development under Weiner but once he was drafted in the 5th it was academic that he would sign. Getting Flores back is a win.

I didn't know what to expect with Witt but given everything he went through at Texas I wasn't surprised to see him move on.

They also lost two transfers to the pros, Eli Trop (pitcher, Penn) and Derek Vartanian (pitcher, Campbell), but I don't know enough about them to say whether that was expected or not.

Vitello will earn $3 million annually after signing a record-setting five-year contract with UT on Friday. He is the first college baseball coach known to make $3 million annually. The deal runs through June 30, 2029.27 mins ago

A bit off-topic, but I always wonder why HS kids who will be high draft picks commit to a school. What's the point? It's happened to us several times and it irks me. Maybe NIL will change that unless they're predicted to go in round 1.

We did get Jonah Williams, but he's the anomaly. 

Leverage against the team that drafts them

EDIT: I'm dumb and didn't read the whole thread. Oh well, can't figure out how to delete an embedded tweet.

Looks like his sister is one of the commits for rowing

As a back up plan in case of injury.

I do wish it were like this, but the main reason will be that players will get cut in the fall.  It's the ugly part of college baseball that so many tend to sweep under the rug.  Teams bring in more than they can keep and use the fall to see who to keep/cut.  It's tough because none of the players are told that they are a "bubble" player.  It's one of the many things that makes baseball the most difficult of the major sports to navigate for HS and college players.
