The Coogs continue to capitalize in the portal. @WillDavis44 has added former SEC RHP Luke Billings. Billings will transition to catcher here at Houston.
He breaks down his commitment to the Coogs.

I’m officially entering the transfer portal as a DSA with 3 years of eligibility remaining. Grateful for every lesson and relationship built so far. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I evaluate 50+ hitters a day.
I'm seeing too many late, on-the-fence swings..
Hitters who are thinking instead of hunting.
No matter how 'good' swing is, this matters more.
Here's a tip to fix:
- Pick a target on the field before the pitch.
- When the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, ask one question: "Can I drive this pitch to my target?"
YES → Attack it.
NO → Take it.
That's it.
Not "Is it in my zone?"
Not "What pitch is this?"
Just YES or NO.
Stop thinking. Start hunting. Good luck.
This freshmen class is announcing their presence with authority tonight.
Luke Billings unloads to left center for a 3-run homer, and the Aggie lead is extended to 15-3.

Combined numbers for Texas A&M’s four true freshmen in the lineup last night versus Sam Houston:
• 12 RBI
• 10 Runs Scores
• 8 Hits (2 each)
• 3 Walks
• 3 Stolen Bases
• 2 Home Runs
Long way to go still, but it was an encouraging start.
Slo-mo side angle look at Luke Billings (@LukeBillings44) on the bump for @LonestarKraken in the @FiveToolCollege League.
The 6-2, 195-pound RHP/C was up to 92 MPH in relief in what appears to be one of his first recent outings. Went 2.1 IP no-hit innings striking out 2. Worked in a change up at 80-82 MPH, curveball at 76 MPH and slider at 84 MPH. Set for @AggieBaseball in the Fall.
Just wrapped up a 4-year varsity career for @ThePHSBaseball (TX). @FiveToolTexas@FiveTool profile: https://t.co/kjUTFumVlp
The shortstop’s reaction told you everything you needed to know. 😂
