Christmas coming a little earlier this year than last

---

What happened to that Texas Tech program? Tadlock had it rolling and now they've invested money in football and softball. I guess baseball isn't getting much of anything? They have completely disappeared.

They never seem really active in the portal. Wonder if they don't have big donors funding their roster like they do in some of the other sports.

---

Are Kansas and West Virginia really spending more money than them to make a difference? Seems doubtful

---

Kansas absolutely is not. That's why they're making their bones with JUCO and NAIA guys.

I find it hard to believe WVU is when they're really leaning into the D2 pitching market every year.

Both programs (along with UCONN because of the northeast D3 and Florida State because of the reliance on smaller D1 school transfers) make for some interesting case studies in roster construction.

I've seen Landon Hood mentioned by a few people. I believe ya'll, but is there a link confirming he's entering portal?

Brody Trosclair from Northwestern State hit the portal. Coming off injury but a big LHP draft prospect for 2028. From Thibodaux.

Official for Landon Hood as well. #73 prospect in 2028 Draft (Overslot)
