TCU Athletics:
Fans were wringing their hands when CDC left six months ago... but Donati looks like the real deal after his first big time negotiations.
However, few could have predicted the way Donati would recover. He stared down Mississippi State, one of the proudest baseball programs in the SEC, and persuaded Schlossnagle to stay. Days later, he signed Sarloos to a three-year extension. Both expressed excitement at the possibility of bringing a national championship to Fort Worth.
It was a coup by the 40-year-old athletic director. Despite being the youngest in the Big 12, Donati made a statement – he’s ready to play with the big boys.
