Wasn't Diego Pavia allowed to discount his JC or CC years?

Yes, a court said the JC years didn't count against his NCAA years.
Ah yes, that's right.
and it appears they issued a blanket 1 year waiver to all JUCO players in light of that case.
NCAA grants waiver to athletes in Pavia's position
The NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a blanket waiver granting an extra year of eligibility to former junior college transfers in similar positions to Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia, while also announcing it is appealing the ruling in Pavia's case.

In case anyone is wondering the MLB draft starts in 3 weeks. It goes from July 13th thru 15th.

I'm not surprised by this. The way the staff felt at the end of the season was very frustrated with him. But they wanted him to also stay and become the player most thought he could be. Best of luck at UCLA or wherever he ends up.
But it is why the staff went and got 3 outfielders in the HS class, hoping all 3 make it in. Along with the 3 guys in the portal and hopeful they make it in as well. Now will the staff use Williams only in the outfield or also have him do some pitching over the next couple of yrs or so.
Temo Beccera is a grad transfer from Stanford. Has played 3rd and SS.
He slashed .330/.384/.427 this last year. Pretty low strikeout rate. Not a lot of power. A guy who gets the bat on the ball and gets on base a decent amount.
0.935 Fielding percentage starting at SS this past season.

To compare to Jalin Flores from this last year: Better BA and OBP, less slugging, fewer strike outs, more fielding errors.
Not a total game changer but a good replacement.
Also, shocking to see how much worse Flores hit this last year.

Yes, Carson Tinney. We needed a veteran catcher for next season. To get him over I believe Florida and/or Georgia. Will get some numbers on him a little later.

Carson Tinney is 6' 3" 220 lbs. As a sophomore he was an All-American at Notre Dame. He wanted to play for a team that could win a championship. He threw out 40% of the runners trying to steal on him. His batting ave this past yr. was .348 with 17 homeruns and 53 RBIs and a slugging % of .753 and a 1.251 OPS.
Adding a veteran catcher allows Chamberlain to keep working so he could be a starting catcher in a yr or 2 and give us time to not worry that we might be an injury from having a true freshman at catcher.

Even though Flores had a bad fielding yr and his batting ave went down at least 100 points, probably due to him trying to play smash ball and hitting those 400 ft. homers instead of getting the base hits whether singles, doubles, possibly triples. But both he and Galvan are within the top 200 and Galvan might be now higher ranked than Flores. That is 4 players in the top 200 with Belyeu around top 30, J. Spencer ( our starting Friday pitcher before injury around top 80, but think he dropped to top 100) and Galvan and Flores in the top 200. That is rankings from most MLB draft experts. Not where they will be drafted, but the draft rankings.
Don't see either coming back. Just like it's hard see all of the HS commits making it in, but it could always change. But with the new rules on roster size (34), full schoolarships (34), but usually baseball uses lots of partial schoolarships over full. The new rules start as I have read and understand begin in July/August as the start of school for the fall semester.

I have no idea what we pay our top baseball players in NIL money. But if Galvan and Flores are ranked 200, the slot value of the pick is basically $300K. I wonder if we can offer anywhere close to comparison of that with a full scholarship + NIL for them to finish school and get drafted next year. Obviously their bonus in 2026 would go down since they lose all leverage as seniors though.

I'm really gonna miss Galvan but you can't blame him. He was one of my favorites this year. We have some great replacements coming in though.

From what little I know about the baseball NIL at Texas, we are around top 5 of the SEC conference. It's not that they have to sign even if drafted, but with the new rules on roster size and parts of the NIL/school money not certain how both could or should be back. That's why the staff is being smart about how they are using and going thru the portal.
With 7 pitchers that are either juniors or redshirt junior along with Belyeu, Galvan, and Flores to go with upto 17 freshmen (probably more likely 13/14), the draft will allow anyone and everyone interested in the players back or coming in for Texas baseball for the fall workouts. It's going to be interesting during the fall and winter workouts how the staff sets up the active roster next yr now that they have to be at 34 instead of 40.
As for those wondering about an active roster, that won't be known until the spring semester starts and the alumni game is played which is usually around 2 weeks out or so from the start of the season next yr. That is when it will be on Texassports.com or if one the HornSports staff gets it and post it.

Aw crap. Apparently, Cole Chamberlain has hit the portal late Tuesday early Wednesday. Now we might want Galvan to come back and have 2 veteran catchers with a freshman waiting a yr.
