  1. Maybe it will finally die now and that fat fuck will disappear due to not having a major brand backing them
  2. Cool, he's still better than Flores who absolutely fucking sucked. Borba has a better career fielding percentage than LSU's starting 3rd baseman. Does he blow?
  3. I can see you are not one to look at statistics either. I'll take a .935 fielder over a .970 fielder which is essentially just a 3.5% difference 8 days a week given the above dog shit batting by Flores for 2 of his 3 years here. Especially considering Flores batted .176 in conference play last year.
  4. Temu > Flores and it's not even close
  5. The more interesting thing isn't the and/or of that is that they put a potential date for Atkinson when one, at least from what I've seen, has not been listed yet.
  6. @someguy whats the word on the new coaches? Last year you said you heard great things about Baker early. What about all the new faces this year including the familiar new face?
  7. IMO they just need to increase T&F staff size overall especially on the support staff.
  8.

  9. That would be pretty sick of them to do. Would also give them one of the best color schemes in college athletics.
  10. Bobby Burton One highly ranked recruit is set to announce Thursday: Alabama running back Ezavier Crowell, who is thought to be deciding between Alabama, Texas and Georgia. Three more blue chippers on Friday: OL Malakai Lee from Honolulu. It’s a Texas, Georgia, Bama and Michigan battle. S Chace Calicut from Houston North Shore. It’s between Texas, Georgia and Michigan. DL Damari Simeon from New Jersey. Texas, Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State. I don’t want to talk about the individual recruits in this column. Instead, I just want you to step back and consider the teams Texas is recruiting against for each of these players. Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State. That’s the entire list. It’s indicative of a new dawn for Texas recruiting. How? Because I’ve never seen a time where Texas was involved in this many hotly contested recruiting battles against other elite programs for players both in state and out. Never. And it won’t stop this week, it’ll go into the next two weeks as well. Before our eyes, Texas is morphing from a national brand that focused primarily itself as a regional recruiting power with specific outreach to other parts of the country to a full-fledged national recruiting power that flexes its muscle anywhere it goes. Again, it’s a new dawn for Texas recruiting. That being said, we don’t know (and won’t know) if the end results will be better or worse until much later, perhaps three or four years down the road. But the reality is, Texas is a true national recruiting power. The transformation has happened
  11. England would be the last place I'd move to in Europe.
  12. I could see a 6 DL class but 5 seems right considering the chart:
  13. Blake Munroe It was quite the day for the Longhorns, as they landed two players out of the portal who will immediately make the team better. We first saw Texas get a commitment from Stanford’s Temo Becerra. While he can essentially play any infield position, he should start at shortstop. It’s worth noting that the staff feels he’s better defensively than UVA’s Eric Becker. Offensively Becerra is solid. He has a 90% overall in-zone contact rate, including 94% against fastballs. — The second commit of the day was the biggest, when Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney announced he would be a Horn. Tinney, a Buster Posey Award Semi-Finalist, was the best catcher in the portal. Nearly every program wanted him. Big time arm strength. Only 3 errors all season. Enough said there. Offensively, Tinney was top ten in the country for average exit velocity. He went .348 at the plate. He had the No. 1 xWBOA in the country. Difference. Maker. — Both of these prospects visited Texas at the same time. Texas rolled out the red carpet and even took both prospects to meet the football staff and let them watch conditioning drills on Friday. They were must gets at their positions, especially after missing out on Eric Becker. Speaking of Becker, I think Texas was somewhat surprised he decided to return to school. I know I was. They even made one last pitch before his decision. In the end, he just loved UVA too much. — Texas knew UVA’s Henry Ford was going to Tennessee as of early Saturday morning. While the Volunteers may be happy now, I expect Ford to make the jump to the draft and not look back. — The needs for the Longhorns in the portal have all been met. There’s no spot that don’t feel good about. Sources have told me that anyone added from here on out is “cherry picking” and just an added bonus. — Many of you have made remarks about adding arms. As I reported over the weekend, Texas feels great about their pitching staff after adding two arms in the portal. That’s not to say they won’t add any more, but if they do it will be someone elite. — Going back to Tinney and Becerra for a second, I think it’s important to note they were seen as must gets at both catcher and shortstop. Make of that what you will. — Yesterday we saw OF Will Gasparino head for the portal. This came as no surprise. There were rumblings for weeks now that this would most likely happen. Honestly, I would have been more shocked if he remained at Texas. — Incoming freshmen are scheduled to report to Austin around the second week of July. I expect the majority of the class to make it in. I still believe there’s a 20% chance (at best) that SS Kayson Cunningham ends up at Texas. Gavin Fien is the other longshot to end up in burnt orange. Schloss and staff will do what they can to try and convince both to attend school instead of signing with a team. — No portal visitors are scheduled for this week at this time. Originally one prospect was going to make it in, but that host has been cancelled. Don’t be surprised to see some visits lined up later in the week, however.
  14. And he kissed his girl on the mouth with tongue!
  15. Love the videos where 90% of grocery stores are owned by like 4-6 companies who are backed by like the same 2-4 investment groups
  16. Love to see it
  17. July 2 I think
