Oviedo is easily more talented but I have some doubts that he’s ever gonna hit enough to really impact this team.

He went through fall ball, right? If so, it’s possible he may have done so to ensure sufficient residency tenure. Would have trouble believing this was a playing time issue...perhaps position issue or not liking CJS’s program.

Arky can set his tuition to in state tuition prices instead of the out of state rate. They do that for some academic only applicants so they can also do that for a student athlete.

that is what I figured since he was out there in fall ball.
Maybe he didn't like the OF?
I wonder if he will be focusing on the infield in Fayetteville.
I think we only had one of designated OF on the roster didn't we?

I hope this doesn’t cause us to play a catcher at DH or RF like we were doing late last season.

He was going to start and he knew it.

I dont think his job was in danger. sometimes players transfer > remember Boomer White? there was no danger of him losing his job but he wanted to be with friends at A&M
We'll be fine

Although he faded late I thought Oviedo had a very mature approach and look last year at the plate. He executed several tough hit and runs and I remember him not looking over-anxious. Obviously hitting .228 isn't great but I think with better players around him doing well his performance gets pulled up as well. At least I'm hoping...
And I have no idea what CB is doing transferring...this one might even be weirder then Boomer White...

AO’s pitch recognition has to get a lot better.

So much truth to this and he's not the only one. Lunging at off-speed and late, late, late on fast.

I think usually you cannot establish residency while a student. Otherwise, all out of state students would pay in state tuition after only one year of school. Most of the time, you have to be in state and completely out of school for a year to establish state residency.

Not to claim some states’ border exemptions and I’ve known plenty of out-of-staters in TX who used all sorts of tricks to get residency. How many of these loopholes have been closed since I was an admissions dean I do not know.
I don’t know about Arkie’s residency rules in particular but I do know that depending on his GPA it’s likely that the difference in OOS tuition and in-state tuition will be reduced by up to 90% (surrounding state) or a minimum of 50% (extended state for a 3.3 or so). Don’t know what kind of student he is but I cannot imagine a scenario where Arkie would be even close to TCU in cost.

I don't know how this year's roster projects but I wouldn't have found it to be good news at all last year when we had virtually no position players available.
