2025 Updates, Transfers & Recruits

If our new pitching coach is a good as advertised, Tumis and Hudson Hamilton will develop into some scary dudes on the mound.

Hopefully Mercer will be healed up. I thought he's more of a closer.

I really don't know where he will end up, he's started and relieved previously at Notre Dame. Heard he was untouchable last fall before his injury.

I don't think Grubbs is a shoe in for a starting weekend role though either.

Pitching roles are all up in the air till probably early to mid spring next year.

I'm not sure what's up with Howard. Did he just have a spectacularly horrible year, and he's really pretty good?

I think like the year before with Woody where we saw consistency being developed during the season and you could see the staff developing to a higher level at the end.

We will likewise see more consistency and growth of the pitchers next season but we will be starting way ahead with more and higher quality.
 
Although there are a lot of questions still, I don't like us continuously picking up pitchers with injuries, we've been snake bit too often. Having said that, I really think we can compete with this pitching staff, even against A&M, LSU, Tennessee and Arkansas.

We have replaced what we lost in offense with portals so we are going to end up about even on offense depending on how quickly A. Rod adjusts.
 


I’m guessing that DeGroat is heading to the show based on his relatives message even though it was a low slot. :idk:

Does anyone know if O'Dowd graduated or transferred? I know he was a Sr, but it seems like he would have a covid year left.
 
Dunno. He was a good Longhorn and well liked.

Maybe he’ll join his family’s baseball technology business and end up with more $$$ than the first rounders…?
