Seems like a pretty easy choice if you ask me. Has proven perfomance, excellent recruiter, Texas HS ties, and would be a massive loss for sips.
"Caleb Longley is in his third season on the Texas Baseball staff as an assistant coach in 2024. Longley continues to work with the outfielders and hitters and added the role of recruiting coordinator. Joining the program prior to the 2022 season, Longley has helped lead the Longhorns to three of the most productive offensive seasons in program history.
With Longley on staff, Texas has produced the three highest home run totals in school history. The Longhorns hit a program record 128 homers in 2022, then followed that up with 91 in 2023 and eclipsed the 100-homer mark again in 2024. The 2022 team had seven players with double-digit homer runs, including the national leader and Golden Spikes Award winner Ivan Melendez. Every regular starter on the 2023 team reached a new career-high in homers and five players reached double-digits.
As recruiting coordinator, Longley's first signing class in 2024 was ranked the No. 3 class in the country according to Baseball America. The class consisted of 10 high school student-athletes from Texas, three from California, as well as one from Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Mississippi, New York and North Carolina. The 2025 class is also shaping up to be outstanding, being ranked No. 2 by Perfect Game."
What is the downside if any? Trev process the check and get him on staff!!
