It’s been a heck of a week, or merely three days after Texas A&M baseball head coach Jim Schlossnagle’s’ shocking exit to head the Texas Longhorns after three seasons, as the move was finalized just a day after the Aggies College World Series final loss to Tennessee.
While the optics were disastrous, it’s time to look to the future and find Schlossnagle’s replacement, as D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers has released three names that have conducted interviews with Agges’ AD Trev Alberts, including former hitting coach Michael Earley, who recently followed Schlossnagle to Texas this week.
As the Aggies’ roster continues to express their thoughts on the abrupt departure, star pitcher Ryan Prager, who still has two more years of eligibility remaining, sat down with TexAgs Radio’s David Nuno to not just provide his personal opinion on the news but also give details on his playing future with the Maroon & White.
“There’s so much uncertainty right now, but I know everyone’s “Plan A” right now is Texas A&M” he stated. “Texas A&M is on the forethought of everybody’s mind because of what the school has done for everybody, the fans. I think everybody feels what this place is about.”
While most of the players on the roster or currently in the transfer portal are in clear favor of the Aggies hiring Michael Early as the team’s head coach, Prager will test out his MLB value before making a decision regarding his potential return to the program this summer.
Earning multiple accolades, Prager finished the season with a 9-1 record, 124 strikeouts, and a 2.95 ERA.
