Another year in the books and another bumper crop of national prospects coming out of Houston.
The Texas A&M Aggies signed five of VYPE's Top 10 prospects of 2019, while Oklahoma welcomes two. This Top 10 is tremendously decorated. Kenyon Green could be considered the state's No. 1 recruit, Grant Gunnell is the all-time leading passer in Texas High School football history and one of Katy's most dominant running backs all complete their high school careers.
It will be interesting to see how these 10 translate to the college game and how quickly. They have left their legacy in Houston, so let's see where their paths take them from here.
Here is the Complete Hot 100 for 2019.

VYPE Hot 100
No. 1-10
No. 1 Kenyon Green, Atascocita, OL, Texas A&M
Huge, physical and has played against some of the best talent in the state. Could be an immediate impact player at Texas A&M as Jimbo got his man. Good strength and flexibility.

When the Astros signed Josh Hader to anchor the back of the bullpen with Ryan Pressly and Bryan Abreu, we thought the club might have the best 'pen in MLB.
But at this early stage in the season, nobody is confusing these guys with Octavio Dotel, Brad Lidge, and Billy Wager.
Heading into the ninth inning on Monday night, the Astros handed the ball to Hader trailing the Braves 2-1. Instead of keeping the game close and giving the Astros' offense one more chance, the Braves teed off on the closer putting the game out of reach and ultimately winning 6-1.
Hader has one save on the season with an ERA over nine. Which has us wondering, do the Astros have a Hader problem?
