It's hard to describe the job he's done, and he hasn't even coached a game(as HC) yet. The guy came in, retained almost the entire 24 roster and added stud after stud in the transfer portal. Coach Earley is the man. Can't wait for fall ball!

About the best start of any coach in any sport in school history. Prager's return is even more icing on this delicious cake.
Agreed on retaining current players and transfer portal commits.... But I don't know high school recruiting well enough to understand if that's going well. I see a bunch of flips to Texas and one to LSU on other college baseball forums.
Any one in the know care to comment whether that piece has gone better or worse than expected?

Earley got Farr and TK2 to campus. High school recruiting will be fine.TulaneAg said:

He promised CDC he could bring the entire coaching staff plus at least 5 current players. He failed on both accounts.
HS recruits still got time to change their minds.

Seems to have gone normal for any season end and coaching change. Players will flip in and out depending on if they think they'll fit in that coaches team or to follow a coach they particularly want to play for. Time will tell on the high school side, but may take a year or two for that to be truly apparent. Texas A&M is going to draw a lot of looks from high schoolers based on our recent success.TulaneAg said:

Just keep winning and that will take care of itself, kids want to play for top programs.
Based upon what POS did at A&M, especially how well he handled the SEC part of the schedule each season, he'll do just fine in Austin (which might not be good enough for entitled sippie fans, I got a feeling he isn't going to last his full contract) but he certainly did not bring over to Austin what many thought he would.
I don't blame Cain, Weiner and even initially Earley following POS to Austin. You don't pass on a high paying SEC assistant coaching job when it is offered to you when your future is uncertain if you don't take the gig.

Cain & Weiner knew what was happening. I can't forgive them. I bet they were recruiting before they left. Not out in the open but cryptic behind the scenes.
How long till the HS players can't change their minds?trouble said:

Up until they enroll and show up on campus.
Is that rumor or has it been reliably reported somewhere? (The promising of 5 current players.) Hilarious if true.trouble said:

then they can just enter the portal.trouble said:

I haven't seen it reported. I heard it from a not happy sip booster.
I would think everyone who was gonna go has gone, but if not Earley can change some minds tootrouble said:

I think that's likely but that's not what you asked me.
I've noticed a lot of the players refer to the coaches by their first name, is this the norm for college kids? I mention this because Prager is doing it on the TexAgs show.
The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.
I feel like it's more common in baseball.

Bet you could have waited for the actual season.

You were strangely spot on about this. Shakespeare himself couldn't find the words to describe this tragedy.
Earley ended up with the most difficult situation a first year coach has ever had.
Pre-season we were the most over hyped team in college baseball, even though 2022 Tennessee team would be a close second. Then injuries hit. Sunday we started TWO starters from last season's CWS team and we started THREE freshmen. We do not have Cortez nor Ashenbeck coming out of the bullpen.
We know Grahovac is gone for the year. Not sure about Sorrell and Stewart is still a wait and see.
And to top it off, our studs have not hit the ball as expected.
With all of this, I am not surprised by our record.
Best case scenario, our starting pitching remains good, our bullpen keeps improving and our studs start to hit the ball and our young players continue to improve.
