  1. FWIW, On3 has Guidry listed at 6'3 260 and Rink at 6'1.5 260.
  2. Going to pat myself on the back on this one. Now 6-7 in Big 12 play with games against OSU, Iowa State, Houston, Cincy and Texas remaining. 40th in NET and 35th in KenPom. Only 3 Q1 wins. Also played one of the worst non-con schedules in the country (turns out Iowa, Arkansas, USC and Providence are all meh to not good). They probably get in at 8-10 but they have work to do.
  3. Yes, he said Softball is at the same time and they would be showing that live. I thought I heard him say that the baseball game would be live on the ESPN app and then re-broadcasted on LHN later in the evening.
  4. Austin Peay walked 14 batters and hit 3 batters and still beat Mississippi State yesterday, 13-10.
  5. Houston recruiting confidential via The Athletic. Sarkisian, Banks, Flood and Gideon all mentioned.
  6. I admittedly haven’t done much homework on Rink but at first glance he is listed at 6’1 260. Seems like we’ve been pretty lukewarm with our interest for a while and haven’t some 9.95ers been saying Sarkisian wants to get bigger at DT?
  7. AT&T Sportsnet (Astros TV home) showed games last year I believe as well.
  8. Correct, I'm too worried about it right now. Small sample size and all. The emergence of Dee Kennedy might hurt him because that will push Thomas to CF more often, with Gasparino shifting over to RF. This leaves Belyeu mainly only DH opportunities, but obviously they are still tinkering with things.
  9. His inability to pull the trigger at times is perplexing. Really good at working counts and taking walks but sometimes he needs to go up there being the aggressor.
  10. We see you, Cade O’Hara. I’m intrigued.
  11. Belyeu finds himself in more bases loaded situations than anyone I can remember
  12. Our portal game will get better with the SEC move too. I know for a fact we’ve lost out on a few kids who were interested in coming here but wanted to play in the SEC and we couldn’t overcome that.
  13. The 2018 team had no business making it to Omaha with the roster they had. 2021 and 2022 both had rosters good enough to make runs even with whatever holes we had. We had at least 2 good starting pitchers both seasons and that’s all you need in that format with the off days (ask LSU). Obviously we know what happened in 2021 and 2022 just shat the bed.
  14. Jfc that is not funny O’Dowd don’t smile
  15. Definitely ain’t a midweek strike zone tonight
  16. Been a while since we’ve had a freshman arm to get excited about. Tumis has me excited.
  17. Nik Sanders doesn’t get cheated. I like that about him.
  18. 11.7. And every program has holes. Even LSU. We just watch Texas every game and think it’s isolated to us. LSU fans pulled their hair out at their pitching staff every time Skenes wasn’t on the mound last year.
  19. Interesting that against a lefty starter, Pierce decides to go all lefties the top 3 in the order. I don't mind it because I think all 3 can hit lefties just as well as righties.
  20. Facing a lefty starter for HCU. I'm hoping we see Nik Sanders at 1B at some point early this season with Thomas in CF as I think that is a combination that could potentially stick. Maybe that is tonight.
  21. Shedrick isn't out of eligibility. Chris Johnson and Devin Pryor are currently freshmen. We are in the final group for that big man from NBA Africa who took an OV a month ago.
  22. Sure will be nice to have a real recruiting class set foot on campus for the first time in 2 years. And I couldn't care less what the guys with eligibility remaining do outside of Weaver and maybe Devin Pryor. If we find an actual PG next year to pair with Weaver, Johnson and Scott in the backcourt then things are already look better than the low bar set this year. We fell into the trap for years with the football team of thinking returning players=depth=winning and I refuse to let that seep into my basketball thinking, especially in the portal age.
