Football Recruiting
Pair of commitments propel TCU past Baylor for Big 12's top recruiting class | Sports Illustrated
Camron Williams and Lucas Niang help to give TCU the top recruiting class in the Big 12 to this point. Williams spoke out a bit on why he chose TCU.
“Coach (Rusty) Burns and Coach (Zarnell) Fitch,” Williams said of the coaches who made an impact with him. “Both of these guys were very honest and upfront with me and I believe they genuinely want to see me succeed in every area of life.”
Move to Big 12 has helped TCU on the recruiting trail | ESPN
While the Big 12 has opened new doors for the Frogs, they haven't forgotten what kind of players got them to this point. The overlooked, chip-on-their-shoulder guys who are willing to outwork everyone else.
Even with a move up into the Power 5 stratosphere, TCU hasn’t forgotten its roots and remains committed to pursuing players it wants, regardless of outside perceptions. From there, TCU is one of the Big 12's best at developing those players to fit their system and exceed expectations. The combination of landing more high-profile signees while continuing to unearth hidden gems could prove lethal as TCU pursues another Big 12 title.

New-look TCU turns to pitcher who made a lasting impression last season | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Mitchell Traver sits atop a rotation and pitching staff that looks entirely different than it did a year ago.
TCU opens practice Friday with only six pitchers on an 18-man staff who were there a year ago. Five of last season’s top arms were drafted, including TCU’s second-leading all-time winner (Preston Morrison) and career saves leader (Riley Ferrell).
In their place are 10 freshmen, two junior transfers and five other veterans besides Traver. They’re all charged with keeping TCU’s reputation for being one of the best pitching teams in the country.

Is a fourth CWS appearance possible for this young squad? With Schloss at the helm, yes.
Under the guidance of 13th year head coach Jim Schlossnagle, TCU has made back-to-back College World Series appearances. He has guided TCU to a 516-236 record over the last 12 seasons. The Frogs have appeared in 11 NCAA Regionals, five NCAA Super Regionals and three College World Series.

Schloss is taking this new talent as an opportunity to try some new things.
“Pure skill-wise, we have a chance to be a lot more physical because Wanhanen and Skoug are a year older,” Schlossnagle said. “You throw Luken Baker into the mix, and this freshman Josh Watson and another freshman named Ryan Johnson, who’s going to play a lot. Those guys, they’re a different profile of players than what we’ve maybe had in the past.”
TCU may not have center fielder Nolan Brown in time for season opener | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Brown had surgery to repair a broken hand last week, and could be out for up to six weeks. That would push him well past opening day.
Brown, who hit .302 a year ago and started all 65 games, is expected to be the leadoff hitter. He will play in center field this year. Last season, he played all 65 games in right and had two errors for a .984 fielding percentage.
