2024 College Baseball Thread

[fordman84]

Only a douchebag would agree to leave A&M before the regionals even started to chase the money.

And a douchebag is known to be a douchebag by his players and despite a hard push by Schloss to bring his kids with him they all told him to go fuck himself. And every youth and high school player and coach has seen this and will remember it.

I was unaware of that. Pierce hadn't even been fired by then.

That being said, we shall see how this all works out for tejas and A&M going forward.

Schloss is certainly a proven good baseball coach everywhere he's been.
Just like Van Horn going from Texarkana, to Central Missouri St, to Northwestern St, to Nebraska, to Arkansas. The guy just wins.

The pile of failed assistants promoted to head coach in any major sport is deep. They're all a gamble.

Meh.

"A source told me" - Kendall Rogers (Klein, TX)

As I said..... We shall see going forward, but I'd never doubt the potential success of a college baseball blueblood like tejas with a proven good head coach.

@Red_Alert

There was all the reason you needed to not defend Schloss or Jexas. You didn't know something, and I provided you with the info, and you doubled down in your defense.

Let me offer you something additional from someone you do apparently respect: HawgBeat - Dave Van Horn reacts to Texas hiring Jim Schlossnagle

Published on 6/26/2024

Either way, Schlossnage is now at Texas, a program that will join the SEC for the 2025 college baseball season. Also a bitter rival to Arkansas, the Longhorns will now likely be a regular opponent for the Razorbacks and head coach Dave Van Horn.

Naturally, Van Horn was asked about Schlossnagle's move during Van Horn's first offseason media availability Wednesday. Van Horn alluded to Schlossnagle's relationship with Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte as something that played a role in Schlossnagle taking the Longhorns' job.

"We knew three weeks ago that Texas was going to let their coach go," Van Horn said. "Turmoil inside of their program. If you look at the wins and losses, it’s been pretty good getting to Omaha, been pretty good. Just been other problems. I think somebody was there that wanted somebody else, and there you go.

That means that everyone knew around the start of June that Pierce was shitcanned. There is zero reason to doubt Kendall Rogers' sources when even a coach you like and listen to is admitting everyone knew before the CWS.

The money may have kept the players, but who got them here? Earley. Funny that you bash the money, cause that means either Jexas is too poor to compete or even with the money players STILL don't want to play for Schloss/Jexas.

What's your issue with the former LSU pitching coach/Huskies HC?

Bonus: Melendez speaks about Caleb Longley as being integral to his development. Sounds like a good person to work with Jace and Gavin.

yes we are too poor to compete and you just swindled us for the best coach we had for a day.. u win sir.. I can foresee your hall of champions filled with CWS titles and more importantly..SEC baseball titles..

back to volleyball I go...

Oh.... One more thing...

Fordman's posts on this forum BEFORE A&M's successful season.... 37 total in 2 years.

Fordman's posts on this forum during A&M's 2024 successful season..... 163 and counting.

That's bandwagon for ya.

But EVERYBODY at A&M hated Scholss. LOL

I mean, you keep crying that A&M is buying players. Why can't Jexas do the same? Must be a reason and I laid two out. If there is a third option then by all means, share with the class.

How does "little brother" keep out buying you for players? I mean first football and now baseball. Ouch.

I'm on cloud 9. We got our entire team back, the guy who built the team, experienced assistants who know baseball and the SEC around him, AND the top portal player who happened to play the position we had a hole. On top of that we are about to announce top arms who are defecting to A&M.

Our team is going to somehow be better than it was, even after losing Monty.

The emotional ones are the ones who spike the ball too early.

* only with an edit that "top" was an autocorrect, should be "two"

 

[fordman84]

This one hurts, Jexas. Like I said, youth and HS players see what kind of a shitbag Schloss is. It's going to be near impossible to recruit for him. 3 years tops and he's fired/health issue.

You know you got them after A&M had filled all our positional player spots, right? Once again Jexas gets the players A&M doesn't want or need.

And more bad news for Jexas, Pierce was just picked up as an assistant at Texas St. Look for more players to jump or flip their commitment to a team that was better than Jexas last year and looks to have the better team this year.

lol well we got the important ones to comeback.. So far Evil Schloss hasn't been hampered

Well, fall portal is still a thing once the rosters trim.

But congrats on that great portal pickup yesterday. A pitcher with 40 rated stuff and a 5+ ERA. There has been no improvement for the team since last season, and your team was bad last season.

A&M has now flipped the top Jexas commit in 2024 and 2025.

whomp whomp

#2 remaning portal player, power depth to our rotation. Looks to start the season competing for the closer role with his 98mph fastball. cha-ching

 

[fordman84]

Prager and the Angels couldn't agree on a contract, so he will return to A&M! Got our ace back, plus all the arms we have brought in this season and Earley has a STACKED roster.

 

[fordman84]

New NCAA roster an scholarship rules are out. Baseball can now offer scholarships to EVERY ROSTER SPOT, but rosters are capped at 34 (down from 40). NCAA FB is up to 105 allowed scholarships!
