Built like an MLB 1B is perhaps a little disappointing given his name. I was hoping he was a superhero.

A couple roster changes for next year.

First, a victim of the roster numbers crunch:

****Newly Uncommitted 2023***Just got NLI release from Texas.Evan Miranda from Orange Lutheran HS6'3 physical frame. 88-92 in recent bullpen with plus slider.Been up to 94.

Second, a fun walk-on lottery ticket - played a year at LSU, then dropped down to JUCO

Beyond excited to be part of the Longhorn family! 🤘🏼 Committed to play baseball at the University of Texas! #Hookem #UTbaseball

I'm interested to see how they navigate the language barrier; will NCAA rules allow Pierce to bring a translator for visits to the mound?

Mack Pierce out there in Florida Hawaii recruiting his ass off

I once knew a college soccer coach that traveled to Australia to recruit. Probably wasn’t too expensive.

Longhorns are hot. Powell is one of state's top 24 LHPs - big performer in spring, summer and was poised for a breakout. Strong 3-pitch mix, good ath., low 3/4 slot, up to 93 MPH at #HookEm camp. Very good #MattinglyWS.Profile with video/analysis: https://t.co/lxZQNHXUW2 https://t.co/ywGbUv7Xjr

I don't know anything about baseball recruiting. Looks like we're getting hard throwing pitchers. Is this a good class? Will we have national top ten talent as a team?

Top 5

Our class is kinda top heavy this year and we will lose at least 3-4 guys to the draft most likely (Rainer, Sterling for sure. Probably 1-2 more). Still should be a top 10-12 class by the time the draft is over. I like the arms we have coming in.

The 2025 class is the special one top to bottom.

Typically, recruiting class draft attrition prediction has been decently easy to forecast for Texas. We got lucky this year with some big names (which kind of bucked the trend, as I know you know), but 2025 is going to be all out speculation. That recruiting class is full of insanely talented kids. It’s a good position to even be in from a talent acquisition standpoint, but I think I’ll be disappointed no matter due to the sheer volume of almost certain draft attrition.

For sure. We are going to get hurt more by the draft in 2025 than maybe any year in recent memory, but there are typically always a few kids every year that make it to campus that you don't expect. So by stockpiling those high profile commitments it gives you a better chance of sneaking a few through just based on pure odds compared to if you only had 2 or 3 guys you were sweating.

I also think we are going to continue to see the trend of more kids going to college due to NIL and pro teams preferring to invest in safer and more polished players coming from the college level, especially on the pitching side.

Combined with quality of life, absolutely. I know I would take pennies on the dollar to push off the slog of the minors, especially for 3rd round+ guys.

I'm out of my depth here, so I appreciate your and @MuellerHorn's contributions today.

NEW: Austin (Texas) Anderson WR Ed Small has been committed to Texas baseball for over a year, but his production on the football field has been drawing attention. The 2025 prospect talks visits to SMU and TCU this weekend with more in the works https://t.co/Z85UhTOUxL
