Cannot believe the circus around this dude. You'd think he was Joe Burrow or Cam Newton.
Said this exact thing on another board.
TTU has gone to the mattresses for this guy in a way that you only do for a generational guy like Cam or Burrow.
Just hilariously shortsighted and performative.

All this for what all evidence points to being a completely mid QB
Hopefully Texas Tech gets completely fricked
Would be hilarious if this bullshite ultimately keeps them out of a breakaway super league.
They mortgaged their future and reputation on a guy who threw for 2800 yards and went 7-5 last year at Cincinnati.

Poor recruitment by Dave once again.
Disagree.
Kid was a top recruit that everybody wanted and was named Preseason SEC Freshman of the Year. It just didn’t work out.

Least surprising portaling ever.
To be fair to him, I don’t think we put him in the best position to succeed.
It’s tough enough to start as a true freshman in the SEC given how the league is getting older, but asking a true freshman to start at shortstop (and replace a Golden Spikes winner, to boot) is a no win situation.

Sort of borne out in the portal rankings last year. Not a single Omaha team in the top 10 of last year’s portal rankings. LSU was #12, we were #15, and that was about it.
Meanwhile Georgia was #1 in the portal rankings and is seeing that come to fruition.

It's insane what the program continues to endure.
Link Jarrett was an incredible hire for them and still apparently picked right up where Mike Martin left off.

As some had said during the season in pressers you could tell DVH did not like this squad. And yesterday in the post game interview he was smiling and laughing things off several times. He seemed glad this miserable season was over.
I’ve been saying that all year since Arlington.
Something just felt off about this team, and you could tell DVH didn’t seem to like this squad with his comments throughout the year and barbs about how guys did things and carried themselves.
Juxtapose that against the 2025 team who he lauded with praise constantly throughout the season about being a close knit group and extremely coachable.
I don’t know what DVH’s plans are, but I think he announces he’s retiring after next season. It really seems like this year wore him down.

Here's my prediction, we'll hard commit on pitching in the portal and end up with a decent starting rotation and some relatively good bullpen depth and wind up with an offense that will average 3.8 runs per game.
Unfortunately I think you’re spot on.
The offense wasn’t good this year, but the fact that pitching and defense were such glaring issues tells me DVH will probably over-index towards those 2 in the portal.
Next year could be similar to 2023 when we had really good pitching and defense but had some guys like Parker Rowland and John Bolton who were all glove and no bat.

A strikeout by TJ Pompey is a fitting end to this shitshow of a season.

One of many portal whiffs by DVH, Nate and Hobbs.
I liked some of the one year portal guys from the 2023 and 2024 teams that didn’t even make it out of a regional.
I liked Jared Wegner. I really liked Tavian Josenberger. I liked Hudson White. I liked guys like Hunter Hollan and Mason Molina. I liked Jared Sprague-Lott.
I really dislike Niu and Stewart and am glad to see them go. I’ll be glad to see Pompey portal on out.
Keep Ruiz, Kozeal, and Souza and start over.

I fricking loathe our pitching approach.
We’ll get into advantage count by getting hitters 0-2, 1-2 and then we just nibble and miss.
It’s incredible how many 0-2 counts we get into in which we allow the hitter to work back full. We also allow more 2 strike 2 out hits than any staff in the country.
Hobbs sucks.

ESPN just flashed a graphic that Helfrick is their #6 draft prospect.

Absolutely unconscionable that they got zero pitchers from the portal, and our starting rotation at this point in the season is Dietz, TBA, and TBA.
Get Hobbs out of there today.
Unbelievable that this is the staff DVH and Hobbs decided to roll into the season with.

Helfrick’s first AB against Northeastern epitomizes why he’s been so frustrating this year.
Watches a meatball right over the heart of the plate for strike 1, and then swings low and away to go 0-2.
Evens the count, then watches a pitch right down the middle that should’ve been strike 3 but was somehow called a ball.
Ultimately goes down swinging at ball 4 a foot off the plate.

Correction to my earlier post - Stewart is still in the lineup, just moved to DH. Rutenbar sitting. Turner to RF.

Turner replacing Stewart in the lineup for the Northeastern game.
Literally can't be worse at the plate or in the field.
Since his 2 homer game in Hoover, Stewart is 2-19 with 13 strikeouts, and one of those hits was an infield single that should've been scored an error.
I'm too lazy to count, but he's also committed several errors in the field, most of which led to runs.
People are shitting on Niu (rightfully so), but Stewart is the guy from this squad I'm most ready to see move on.

More context on how bad the offense has been this season.

With 3 hits, 3 walks, 1 HBP, and 1 reaching on error, Arkansas had a total of 8 baserunners tonight.
That's the 6th game this season with 8 or fewer baserunners, which is the most times an Arkansas team has done it since 2017.
