A judge on Friday granted a temporary injunction to the 12 players or so an extra yr of eligibility. Weaver has to find a new home probably either SMU or LSU. The bad thing is Florida might be getting one of these guys that is really good back from last year's team. Same goes with Vandy...

The NCAA subcommittee voted to move forward with the ABS system for all of D1 baseball. Now just waiting on full vote of the NCAA which should pass it.. Bot who knows with the NCAA. It should work like it did at the SEC tournament this past season. The batter, catchers, and/or pitchers...

So, we did add another outfielder in Campbell outfielder Carlos Lugo. He was a freshman this past season. He did put some good numbers up. But not against anything like some SEC teams. This gives Texas 4 portal outfielders to go with Pack Jr and J. Williams. Only Pack Jr has one outfield...

We are probably just over 2 weeks from having a update roster on texasports.com. Also, one of the last press conference had by Coach Schloss until January/February. Unless something happens. Have been told the staff believes that there is at least 1 more portal players if not 2. Don't know...

The baseball team awards have been announced for the 2026 season: Luke Harrison -- James and Huston Street Award. This award recognizes the player who most embodies what it means to be a Longhorn through leadership, selflessness, and integrity both off and on the field. Anthony Pack Jr --...

Haiden Leffew signed an UDFA deal either Saturday or Monday with Tampa Bay Rays. Now, from what I've heard the staff would have liked to have him back, but not surprised he went this route. Again the staff is looking for players in the portal, but also love all the top notch young arms...

LSU has their money man spending crazy money. SC-- new coach for Coastal Carolina and they are bringing in most of those players. Fake ut -- numbers not quality Georgia -- only signed 5 HS commits. They spend on portal and are hoping it works out. Getting LSU -Paz and Texas--J. Flores. Good...

Not certain of the criteria as someone missed: Avery Bradley being the #1 HS commit in 2009 And Miles Turner being the #2 HS commit in 2014. Neither were mentioned in that list. Now, I do agree that TJ Ford was the best player out of HS. But he, Ford, was considered the 2nd or 3rd PG in...

Now, for the 2027 draft the following is eligible: Cozart Crossland A Rod D. Volantis Armstrong Garcia J. Williams Brennan Mendoza Borba Solitaria, need to double check on him, but believe so

So, Mendoza after checking with all MLB teams on trying to get a FA deal not to happen and a phone call with the staff about his shoulder is back. He is to have shoulder surgery soon. No timetable on his return. I fully believe that the staff is looking for a unitily infielder. But if they...

The MLB draft is over. Both Mendoza and Brennan go undrafted. Now we wait to see if either sign as FA. Brennan should be coming in to play next season, but 1 never knows until late July/early August.. Same with Mendoza unless there was some behind the seems we aren't aware of. Now, we see...

Howard goes in the 13th rd. Still nothing on Mendoza.

Burns and Harrison both go in the 8th rd.

So, Hayes Holton has pulled his name from the draft. This is another very talented pitcher for next year.

Now, several commits have pulled their name out of the draft: RHP Cooper Webb, INF Easton Autrey, LHP Phinn Beaird, RHP Trey Rangel, C Jax Robinson, RHP Larson Reeder, LHP Tucker Thompson, and I believe a couple of others. Needs to check on a couple of those. I don't believe some were...

So, after the 1st day of the MLB draft is over: 4 Texas commits drafted and all will sign. Emerson #2 overall getting 10+Million Brody Bumila #89 overall and the Rangers are giving him over 1 Million Cooper Harris #106 around $850K Beau Peterson at #133, but Astros are planning to get him...

I do agree on Mendoza, but haven't heard anything from him about coming back. But after this past season, I would like to see him back. Burns probably does get drafted and leaves. Leffew is kind of a wild card.

Some interesting notes for this weekend draft. Emerson is a top 3 pick, highly unlikely he makes it in. Peterson has dropped, now not certain why or so if he has put something out about wanting to be playing at Texas for a couple of seasons. AGAIN this is a BIG IF HE CHOSE to do it. Another...

Okay. The MLB draft is this weekend. It starts on NBC around 2 PM, I believe. After that it's on MLB TV, MLB.com, peacock streaming. What we are losing: J. Duplantier Sr. Temo Becerra R-Sr Josh Livingston Grad. Cal Higgins Grad. Conner McCreery Sr. Max Grubbs Sr. To bad he had an...

I'll give brief thought now on the MLB. We might get a few surprises after the draft this weekend. I go over in a more information in the baseball tread for 2026 and beyond on Wednesday evening or Thursday. But we didn't lose that many and probably only 1 that the staff didn't want to lose...
