I saw a profile on Rizer some time ago and I'm excited to see him.

I find it kinda strange that we only have 3 seniors on the team. Does the 11.7 scholarships make it hard for kids to pay for 4 years at TCU? Out of those 9 true freshman I’m curious to see how many will be here in 4 years. Either way go frogs and I’m ready for a late JunedogFrog pile in Omaha.
Baseball players are draft eligible after their junior year (a few after their sophomore year) so on programs that consistently recruit talented players you don’t see that many seniors.

Not a big impact most years at TCU. Cost us Wade and Skoug this year. Next year could be different with Baker, Janczak, Feltman, and Wymer all being possible losses. Also wouldn’t be at all surprised if two of those four returned.
The main reasons IMO are .... (1) Kids want to play, so the ones who aren’t tend to transfer and (2) With limited scholarships the staff really can’t afford to keep a kid around who isn’t performing. So basically the kids who aren’t contributing either figure it out on their own or the staff suggests it for them. With the steep price of attending TCU it’s not real hard to get a kid to look elsewhere in these situations.
I would love to have even 1 of those 4 back but I'll put the over/under at 1 and I'll take the under.
Baker, Wymer and Feltman should all be Top 10 round picks and that means theyre 90% gone and JJ is a 4th year junior. He is the only one I see coming back at all and I think that's 50-50 at best.
So, that projection is wrong?
Why in the world would he transfer there? Grades?
Good guess. Or...unhappy with coaches. He’s from Corpus so he’s not going home. I think this also makes it possible to get drafted sooner (not sure about that). Ordinarily I’d make a comment about Lubbock here but Midland ain’t exactly an alluring destination.
7/17/1997 DOB which would have made him an age eligible sophomore this year had he stayed at Tech. Cutoff for that is 7/21 so he just barely sneaks in.
So scratch that as a reason. I know a kid that did that from another Big 12 school a couple of years ago. I could probably figure out the reason but equally probable that I wouldn’t post it if I did.
Yeah, a starter for a preseason top 5 team doesn’t leave for a mediocre JUCO for any good reason.
Is Midland mediocre now? Been a long time since I’ve paid attention to Texas juco. Pretty familiar with OK and KS jucos. Howard still salty?

That maybe true, but Tech has a highly ranked, top notch baseball program. This seems like a huge step backward.Have you been to Lubbock? The azzhole of Texas!
