They had recruited but did not have Hamilton, Reynolds, Todd.    Cooper was coming back from TJ and really not 100%.   Kingham and Shugart were  freshmen that needed to mature on and off the field.    Baker and Rand fought injuries.    Boswell had to play out of position at ss. With 11 draft...

Very possible.    But David Pierce was a terrible hire.   More so,  when he brought his entire staff. joeywa and I could have coached this talent to a Regional.  

If we had an AD instead of a Personal Injury Attorney who knows nothing about baseball in the position,  Skip would be the Texas coach. He is going to kick Pierce's xxx in recruiting and on the field.

Anyone know the status of Cooper  ?

True,  but Henley seems to be the best candidate for a 4th starter which is needed in a Regional.    Super and Omaha,  not so much. Connor Mayes remains a mystery.    Second best era on the team his freshman year.

Perspective:     Though ULL is ranked 24/25,   Texas is 36/37 RPI,  ULL  49/50.     I hate Tuesday games. Last night: SFA  6 TCU  2 NMex  16 Tech     5 UTA   11 OU      2   (canx in 2nd due to weather)  Though ULL is ranked 24/25,   Texas is 36/37 RPI,  ULL  49/50.    It was an...

http://d1baseball.com/podcasts/podcast-breaking-big-12/ D1 podcast on B12.   Texas review starts at approx 14:00.   Good summary of B12 at 31:00. Note the candid remarks about Cantu and Boswell,  2 players who are needed to lead this team. Also, note comments about how important for B12 to...

Congrats to you, your family and your son  !     No matter the division,  relatively few are selected to play college baseball.

First day of practice, 27 Jan, interviews from TexasSports.com     Head coach David Pierce On the fall and going forward: "Honestly, the fall was very productive. When you come into this type of transition, there's a lot of newness for the players. They've been great, receptive. We had a good...

Let me add,   David Pierce and Sean Allen certainly know more about recruiting than I and I hope their approach is successful.     However,  it may be that  at Texas and  a P5 conference,  early recruiting should be tempered. 

where would that leave David Peirce and the coaching staff? It seems with only 11.7 scholarships and a roster limit of 28 ? (schollys)   there is a possibility of issues if someone does not leave as expected for MLB,  injuries, etc.   Meaning someone may have to walk-on or  take a lesser...

Just didn't receive the publicity ? I just don't understand the excitement of committing a 2019 prospect like Duplantier and others at 16 years old.   I realize prospects are evaluated at a much earlier age,  but there are many unanswered questions for Texas and the young players.   I can...

http://www.texassports.com/news/2016/11/8/baseball-inks-10-for-2018-season.aspx The above link gives details on the signees. It is interesting to note that we signed 3 juco pitchers and 1 out of state pitcher. Am I correct in thinking TCU, A&M, Rice, and possibly Tech have the upper hand in...

For  '17 (upcoming season)  ?     I count 41 on the roster meaning 6 will be cut. What we really need is juco catcher by January.    Trust me !

Oltorfian  -  your post is like my nightmare being true !      :) Are you sure about Hamilton  ?    He played infield in hs, correct  ?   If fact,  I hoped he would compete for SS but saw he played 2B.   He was a Nicholson recruit which may be concerning.   Baker did not play.  Injury  ?   ...
