Cajuns are ranked in the first Collegiate Baseball Poll. With the understanding that it matters where you are ranked at the end of the season and not the beginning of the season, it is still not a bad ranking with the transitions on the staff and roster.

Texas stare and Coastal Carolina
Good representation by the sun belt
Awesome. Obviously some optimism around the program. I know it's December, but what are some of the post fall-pre spring bright spots for the team?
We are exactly 60 days away
Cant wait...Quote:

I honestly did not expect it. But it definitely gets me more excited than I already was that we are ranked.Quote:

So this respect is very nice indeed.
Lots of pitching and catching depth, at least to start.Quote:

We will hit better than last year and play small ball. That's Deggs. His teams are dangerous because he can play both ways in the same game.Quote:

Deggs is a pro at it.Quote:
