I, for one, detest preseason rankings but here's the first to come out. More excited about the fact that Perfect Game got the name right than our spot on the list.

Link didn't work in first attempt.

24 Coastal Carolina
This is actually the 2nd poll to come out. Collegiate Baseball Newspaper came out last month
We were 14

I'd be shocked if we aren't in the top 8 in D1Baseball's poll out early next week. Kendall has said repeatedly he expects this team to be in Omaha.
I don't put much stock into it other than it indicates how far we have come as a NATIONAL POWER and our peer's perception of expectations of UL. Nice to be recognized.
Being consistently ranked, having success in post season, posting, winning regular or tournament championships are all tools that will help in the future recruiting success. Having teams like Coastal Carolina also helps to draw better players who want to compete against the best.
Having a top tier facility will also be a great benefit. Next baseball step clubhouse, and better bleacher sections.
Having satellite trucks to build the brand, and grow revenue is vital to every thing.
UL also needs to be proactive in protecting Robe's health, lol..
I'm proud of how far Robe has taken this program fighting every obstacle from day one, lack of scholarships, Fossil admonition to think small, Farmers public failure to close the deal on the first Tigue rebuild.
From a supporters point of view, I'm thrilled for Tony and our program to have earned this amount of national respect.
From purely a baseball stand point... I ____ing hate preseason love.
And I hate the word "expect" and I hate that "O" word being said any time prior to chartering a plane TO that "O" place.
Let's go pitch, hit and play defense.. see what happens later.
Unrelated note......
Love that they used "Louisiana", but for the love of GOD can Alden or someone please hook us up with a better logo?? So many on the list look I guess you could say professional, and IMO ours looks silly. Like we don't belong, and we most definitely DO belong. Rant Over. Hahaha
