Following the news of head coach Jim Schlossnagle departing College Station with his entire coaching staff for bitter rival Texas on Tuesday night, Texas A&M president, General Mark Welsh, shared his thoughts about the moves in a statement with KBTX.
“I want to take a minute and thank our Aggie baseball players for the truly remarkable season they just completed,” Welsh stated. “They made us proud with their play and inspired us with their respect for each other, their opponents and the 12th Man.
“The disheartening news of the past 24 hours made their coaching staff the center of attention and denied our players the hard-earned opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their tremendous season and that exhilarating run to the national championship game in Omaha. They are great athletes, great teammates, great young men and great Aggies. I believe Aggies everywhere are incredibly proud to have them representing Texas A&M University. I know I am.”
Nine Aggies entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Wednesday.
