Texas A&M baseball players react to Aggies hiring Michael Earley as head coach

Texas A&M baseball player reactions flood in after Aggies hire Michael Earley as head coach

One of the biggest things that got new Texas A&M baseball coach Michael Earley's foot in the door in this nationwide search for a new A&M skipper was the established relationship he had with the players. As a top recruiter for the previous staff and a generally beloved figure on the team, he was a popular choice among the current roster for who should guide the Ags into the future.

Accordingly, as soon as the hire was announced, reports began to emerge that the Aggie players currently in the portal would be exiting and returning to College Station for next year. Ali Camarillo was the first to do so.

He and several teammates made their jubilation at the news well-known on Twitter.

We had a couple of well-beloved Aggie seniors beginning to figure out ways to get back another year of eligibility so that they can come play under Earley.

It looks as if at least one of them has been successful, as Hayden Schott has referenced returning to Aggieland for the upcoming year after withdrawing his name from the portal as well.

Ace pitcher Ryan Prager, reportedly still mulling a decision between returning to Aggieland and making the jump to the professional level, was effusive in his praise as well.

Brock Peery, who came over from Arizona State (where Earley was previously), had some great things to say about his coach.

We're still waiting on reactions from stud players Gavin Grahovac and Jace LaViolette, but suffice it to say that this is a move that is already proving to unite the roster like few others would have.
