As June trends towards July, the Texas Longhorns baseball staff is swimming in the proverbial mud.

“You know you’re going to get there, but it’s it’s tough and it takes a while,” Texas head coach Jim Schlossnagle said in an appearance on the Around the Horns podcast.

In the middle of the busiest stretch of the year for baseball coaches, the Longhorns have been focused on roster management with the NCAA transfer portal open and the 2025 MLB Draft looming next month after the portal closes.

That means 18-hour days as 12 players have departed the program and eight players have committed, pushing the 2026 roster much closer to completion ahead of the draft.
