    Did anyone have or attempt to have a Central Texas tournament over the last weekend? Five Tool did in Zorn. Not sure if any games were played but families were made to drive to the field at least. 

    We played in the V-tool tourney. It was an absolute s-show. Played Thursday morning, then late on Friday. We got moved to San Antonio prospect park and played 2 games with the last starting at 9:45pm. The fireworks and gunshots were uuuuhhhh distracting.  Stayed in a hotel in San Marcos because we played in Zorn early Saturday. It ended up being rained out so we went home. Then drove all the way back Sunday morning to lose our first and go home. I was glad. It was his final tournament and we really need a break.

    KSAT anchor is railing on those that “spoke” on presser

    It is exactly like every conversation I have with my teenager. Hold them accountable and they claim fairness!

    We need real leaders and not these fucking schmucks. What an absolute joke.

  3. I really appreciate the info on the horrific events that occurred at the camps, I just wish there was a dedicated thread so I could check it when I mustered the strength. It is too much to stomach when you have young kids and thinking what those poor souls went through. Had a teammate of my son almost lose his sister. She miraculously was grabbed out of the water downstream. The whole deal is just devastating.

    Who are the 2-3 impact freshman arms?

    We will know in a little over a week who is coming. There are some really solid dudes in this class that would contribute if they make it on campus. Top guys. I am biased and hopeful so I will not name names.

    Actually, it's the opposite when you are going to be a senior. Seniors have zero draft leverage, so you often see them sign for pennies (the signing bonuses for seniors are like 5-10k).

    So you are basically weighing going back to school to collect a NIL paycheck and sign for pennies next year vs taking the six-figure signing bonus now. 

    Bingo. Remember Mike Antico? He got pennies because he had no leverage. There is a reason guys that can sign do so as early as possible. That is the most leverage you will ever have.

  6. I was bored. Projected pitching staff not including transfers with stats from last season. I will have to track the transfer stats down if I get bored again.

    Let’s not play both sides of the fence here. You want to implicate all of them rather just the 4.  Who are the players you know?

    Yes, you’ve said that multiple times about Schloss.  Most fans that care about that sort of thing are likely well informed and know that going back to TCU Schloss has found and/or developed talent.  You could argue that once he got established at TCU there’s been better talent at TCU than Texas.  If you were to use MLB as the measuring stick.

    If I’m interpreting 64 analytics properly, Tennessee has had 19 guys enter the portal.  And I see a recent article from the Knoxville News that kicks it up to 22.  LSU and UGa last year were at 14 and 15, respectively.  These are amongst the best rosters in the country.  I’d presume they are at or near the top of the NIL food chain.  All these guys are not leaving due to the lack of natural ability.  They also aren’t all leaving because they’re supremely talented.  Teams are churning 25 to 33% of their roster.  I’d wager even the best have similar guys to those you reference.

     


     

     

    Do you even new roster limits bro? This was obviously going to create chaos. The reality is we may see the last class of freshman come onto campus unless they are truly elite. Freshman recruiting classes will dwindle and the teams without solid nil will end up being feeder schools for the haves. Moose out front and all that.

  8. When you show up to optional practice and realize only 1 other kid showed up and there are 3 coaches for 2 boys.

    Then you see your kid dominate.

    Then you realize the coach running practice wearing Padres gear is the Texas 1st base coach.

    Sucks that may be the last one of those but it was fun.
