  1. Is he? Root was pitching in the AAC (12th best conference in the RPI), Patton pitched in the Big West (13th best). You don’t just light $400K on fire because that is the best available although I agree the market ultimately is what it is. Decision would be even easier if I knew what was going on behind the scenes. Total hypothetical but if you are giving me $400k to spend on Patton/Root or bringing back a Flores/Thomas, I’m choosing Jared or Jalin.
  2. There is a difference between competitive NIL and throwing $400k at a starter from Long Beach State. Myles is good, he isn’t $400k good, assuming that is what he got paid. A&M is hyper focused on throwing the kitchen sink at next year and I don’t blame them, might not come that close again. On the flip side Schloss is pillaging their 2024 and 2025 class and Earley probably doesn’t even realize it because he is shitting himself worrying about how not to fuck next year up. EDIT: Obviously the market is only going to get more expensive but none of these guys are worth that, not even Root, Fisher, etc... Teams throwing bags hoping to find the next Skenes when there isn’t one out there
  3. Well the list of universities I would have rather seen him go to is endless
  4. Cade Fisher, Liam Doyle, and Grayson Saunier are the most high profile SEC arms that are uncommitted. After that it’s the Justin Loer and Connor McCreery range. Thatcher Hurd is out there but he had a rough year last year and I believe he has a “do not contact” attached to his name in the portal
  5. Not going to lie, seeing Caleb Longley in maroon hurts
  6. Damn, hope that is not the case
  7. Yep, comes from the Mariners organization and their don’t pitch like a pussy mindset. Sean McGrath just took a job as Lamar’s pitching coach (left Iowa), he was in the Mariners farm system as a pitching coach while Max was at the big league level. I’m sure Schloss already has his eye on him in the event that Max takes the next step in his career
  8. Kyrin LeBlanc out of Cisco. Averaged a walk an inning, 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, 14.9 K/9. Only 21 innings though so it’s a small sample size, believe it was his first year pitching as well. You don’t find kids throwing triple digits in college let alone JUCO, even if he was out there hitting the mascot it’s an auto take. Hasn’t said anything since the coaching change but as far as I know he is still committed
  9. Probably worth a look just in case Kilen falls through
  10. Have they announced who is going to be the 3rd assistant?
  11. I knew Gavin hated Ivan and Texas but I didn’t know it was this bad, bless his heart, hope he finds happiness some day
  12. Hey Kendall, you can keep your fucking domino
  13. Andre was good all year long, totally reinvented himself. If we could get him back he easily slots into the back end of the bullpen.
  14. Depending on whether we lose pieces guys like this are becoming that much more important if we are going to compete next year. Need Tulo to be all in in regards to being an assistant coach at this level
  15. This right here is also just as huge as any other hire made so far
  16. I could see LaViolette not returning, he only has one year left anyway, go take the highest bid at either LSU or Tennessee
  17. Yeah I was worried about the Longley dynamic in this ordeal
  18. My how the turn tables, Tennessee fans were all “we got you bro” with A&M fans just to have them offering free handies to Vitello behind their back. Where is the Aggie honor code for Christ sake???
  19. Not even a shot at Earley because he is a really good recruiter and coach but this is nothing more than a mosquito bite, minor annoyance. Will be interesting to see who Schloss targets as a replacement. Tons of young guys out there like Jon Littell at Austin Peay who have a bright future ahead of them.
  20. Is this where we are supposed to send CJ and Blake to Earley’s introductory press conference to ask the hard hitting questions
  21. Elander serves the same role as Nolan Cain, he isn’t taking a demotion.
