I would say from 2024 class it was TK in year 1, and Aiden Simms in year 2

From 2025 class it was Jorian Wilson

Who will it be from the 2026 class?

Trying to go with a "surprise" or someone that hasn't been heavily discussed... maybe LHP Chandler Hart. Older, 6'6 217lb frame from Allen, TX. Hard to pick the ones that bloom in college given the big jump to SEC play

Any Freshmen from Flower Mound? That always seems like a safe play.

Gonna go with Horvath. Kid is a legit 100mph. Hopefully Enright can work with him on his control.

Is there such a thing as an expected surprise?

Buddy of mine says Snavely is legit, day 1 starter. He coaches his younger brother and has watched him come up through the years.
God,....I really hate the sips!

I'll go an under the radar surprise in Harper Gates.

Looks to be a solid infielder. Seems to have pop in his bat as he was 4th in the state of Texas in home runs this year at the Bennett School with 10.

The Bennett School played the toughest schedule in Texas this year based on MaxPreps SOS Rankings.

Might be a developmental piece, but you never know

Well, he has the pedigree (pro Dad), frame, and talent (pitcher/hitter) that usually results in exceptionally good baseball players.

I'm fully expecting him to beat out Bell or Kellner for a middle infield job

Big CJ fan being from Tomball myself. My 11 year old is pumped to be able to watch him in maroon and white.

Do y'all think he will be a legit weekday or weekend starter this spring?

curious if he is going to pitch or play infield.

He throws 90-91 correct?

Yes, low 90s. He primarily pitched this year or played outfield, but I think could honestly fit anywhere.

Some of us saw it two years in a row during the playoffs; we won't be.
