July 15Jul 15 2 hours ago, MuellerHorn said: Are you referencing the post you quoted, or other chatter? Because, assuming Freeman and Moroknek sign, Williams is the second-most productive (and most at Texas) OF on the roster... Robbins seems to be legit, Peterson is older, but hasn't contributed, and then there are three freshmen. Otherwise, with those 37 guys, we're an injury to Tinney, Robbins, or Williams away from being in a very difficult spot. Pack (32 overall, 5th OF), Monsour (229), and Monsour (242) are all highly-rated though. Post I quoted. He has been insistent since the portal opened and lineup postulation began that Williams is not part of the equation

He has been insistent since the portal opened and lineup postulation began that Williams is not part of the equation He will be part of the equation, but he has to come back to baseball healthy, and there is going to be a ramp-up period. He probably isn't just going to walk across I-35 in late January after not doing baseball for 4-5 months and be ready to start a few weeks later in the opener at San Diego. There are just a lot of moving parts with him that it probably is safer to make him a luxury more than a necessity in terms of roster building/projection. Edited July 15Jul 15 by Hookem2147

July 16Jul 16 Obviously of fans of Texas, we would consider this a bad decision But maybe the guy is just ready to stop playing school and go play ball full time.
July 16Jul 16 Freeman will be 23 in November, very likely a key factor in his decision. Larson (above) seems to be an upgrade. Quote CHATHAM, Mass. — Four Chatham players have been selected to the 2025 Cape Cod Baseball League All-Star Game roster, the league announced Saturday. Jackson Freeman (Northwestern) and Ashton Larson (LSU/transfer) were named East Division starters while Daniel Jackson (Georgia) and Josh Swink (Liberty) were announced as reserves. https://www.chathamanglers.com/chatham-angler-news/2025/2290/Chatham’S-Freeman,-Larson,-Jackson,-Swink-Named-2025-CCBL-All-Stars Edited July 16Jul 16 by torre

That would need to pretty much be the only reason, because from what I understand, he was going to be well taken care of from a NIL standpoint. Oh well, I think we will end up okay. There are some interesting JUCO/portal options still out there I know we are kicking the tires on. Edited July 16Jul 16 by Hookem2147
July 16Jul 16 Money aside, a 24 year old player in High A is never going to be seen or treated as a prospect. Even 23 is pushing it to adjust to professional pitchers

July 17Jul 17 2147 is notorious for being idiotic when it comes to real life life shit. He still thinks Tanner is our Friday night conference starter. His ‘sources’ have proven time & again to royally suck.
July 17Jul 17 On 7/2/2025 at 3:17 PM, Hookem2147 said: Actually, it's the opposite when you are going to be a senior. Seniors have zero draft leverage, so you often see them sign for pennies (the signing bonuses for seniors are like 5-10k). So you are basically weighing going back to school to collect a NIL paycheck and sign for pennies next year vs taking the six-figure signing bonus now. On 7/11/2025 at 1:51 PM, Hookem2147 said: Freeman and Moroknek are going to have to really want to sign because I don't see any team paying up for guys with their profiles. Both are already 22 (Freeman will be 23 in a few months) and have the competition level question mark, especially Freeman since he was previously at Auburn and did nothing. Nailed it.
July 17Jul 17 What is inaccurate about either of those statements? Both obviously had strong desires to sign and take the professional payday now instead of the NIL payday and being no leverage seniors. Neither was taken in the top 10 rounds where the higher paydays are so they weren’t prioritized. Freeman was a 16th round pick accepting a signing bonus that doesn’t even force his team to dip into their bonus pool allotment.
