Texas A&M baseball player says he found out of Schloss's departure on Twitter

Ryan Targac, four-year Aggie player and senior, says he found out of Jim Schlossnagle's exit on Twitter

The oddities—to put it kindly—surrounding Jim Schlossnagle's exit from Texas A&M baseball just keep compounding. There is no shortage of questions regarding the timing of the offer, when the decision to exit was made, and whether the results in the national championship would have affected things in one way or another.

One of the big questions, especially in this portal era, is how things were handled with the players on the team. With this exit clearly impending for some time—jobs are not offered and contracts drawn up in the time period as short as the interim between the end of last night's game and when Schlossnagle's departure was announced—you have to wonder what, if anything, the players knew.

While there's no doubt that the guys on the team were aware of some of the chatter surrounding their coach, there was always the thought that he had addressed things privately in order to assuage nerves while the Aggies were on their postseason run. The team certainly wasn't playing as though they had something on their minds, after all.

According to senior Ryan Targac, though, it looks like this was a move that at least he was blindsided by.

I guess there was no players meeting to announce the move—at least, none before it was broken on Twitter. That's a really, really tough look for Schlossnagle in the midst of a transition that is becoming replete with them.

Targac is a guy who has given his all to this program. He has laid it all on the line over his four years, and sacrificed a lot for the betterment of the team. All that, and he is thanked by being blindsided in this fashion.

We're learning a lot about Jim Schlossnagle throughout this whole thing. Maybe Austin fits him better than I thought.
