“The future’s bright.”
Even in the midst of an emotional press conference following a difficult loss that kept that Texas Longhorns from advancing to the College World Series finals, head coach David Pierce still felt optimistic about the future.
With a talented young core and a small but talented incoming recruiting class that Pierce characterized as “great,” Pierce appears to have the historic program well positioned moving forward.
The immediate upside of next year’s team will of course depend on how the upcoming MLB Draft goes and which players decide to return, but Pierce has now built Texas to a point where there shouldn’t be the type of drop off that happened from the 2018 College Wold Series team to the 2019 group that went 27-27 and missed the Big 12 Tournament.
