Portal Top100

[Coach34]

Facts like "Virginia was the only Top 10 team to miss the postseason" when the literal preseason #1 missed it too?

Yeah, them damn facts.

We were already comparing A&M and Va- so I didnt include them. Obviously people realize A&M and Va were the absolute underachievers and worst coaching jobs of 2025

Still cannot admit you were wrong

He is literally Lemon in the portal right now.

BOC has the #1 ranked portal class right now, so probably not.

[Quaoarsking]

He spent 2 years saying Lemonis shouldn't be fired, and then spent the few weeks before Lemonis was fired saying Lemonis wouldn't be fired, and if he was it would be at the end of the season and not in the middle of the season.

So now he's desperately trying to neg O'Connor, so that in the extreme off-chance that O'Connor fails to be a good coach for us, he can come back here and say "See, I was right all along - we shouldn't have fired Lemonis."

[Coach34]

We 100% should have fired Lemon. Never said differently this year

SS Temo Becerra of Stanford is headed to Texas. SS pool getting smaller

Looks like Texas got the ND catcher out of the portal as well.

[Coach34]

Shit. They are loading up

[Quaoarsking]

Shit. They are loading up

Yeah this one might get Texas into the top 10, still way beneath #1 Mississippi State...

[basedog]

Texas has lost some valuable players, they may be a good program but like everyone now days players move around. He'll Tn has lost valuable players.
We have done well and we will get a few more.

You called me a dumbass fan for saying it was clear Lemon was a bad coach who does not coach the basics and fundamentals well and that is was actually the players fault for not executing. That statement alone makes you lose all baseball credibility

That's also not what I am referring to when I say you can't admit you were wrong. You were wrong about BOC. Admit it. Don't give excuses as to why we hired him. Admit you were wrong about telling us we would never get him.

It took us 33 games games before we decided on a line-up...and we made 36 errors in those 33 games

Once Lemon settled on a line-up...we made 20 errors in our last 26 games. We also got better offensively.

Thats what cost Lemon his job. Not settling on a line-up sooner. It's amazing how much better fundamentals look when you play the correct people

Has he ever admitted Hunter Renfroe would make and stay in MLB? He was always moving the goal post. First it was he would never make it. Then it was he wouldn't stay up. Then it was he wouldn't make it past a year. He might be doing a victory lap now that Hunter seems to be winding down around 10 years.

Coach34 has some good takes and info but can't seem to ever admit being wrong.

Yes- years ago. Keep up

I for one am glad things worked out like they did. We were never going to do anything of significance again with Lemonis anyway so we needed to be able to make the change. Our player development under him stunk and we were becoming totally dependent on the portal to have SEC caliber players.
As BOC has mentioned our roster has to be totally rebuilt because we really have no up and coming position players available coming from HS recruiting. We are having to pull everything in from the portal. Overall program was just not being run well and with Lemonis we would have just been locked into mediocrity.

[Pancho]

We are leagues above with BOC from where we were with Lemo in all aspects related to a baseball team and program.

[Tbonewannabe]

I must have missed it. I apologize.
