Texas Longhorns focus on transfer portal after College World Series exit
Summary

Texas Longhorns head coach Jim Schlossnagle is shifting focus to the transfer portal following a 2-0 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs that ended their College World Series run. Schlossnagle expressed frustration with the timing of postseason play impacting recruiting, especially after losing out on key players like Clemson transfer Nate Savoie and Notre Dame transfer Bino Watters. With the emphasis now on filling roster needs at catcher and outfield, the Longhorns' coaching staff is prepared to address recruitment with renewed urgency. Texas will also work on the commitments from its 2026 signing class, which ranked No. 3 nationally last fall and features top prospects like Grady Emerson and Brody Bumila.
