Cajuns' JUCO signees having solid seasons

[LifeTimeCajun]

I would think the front line guys were signed back in November? I would think this period would be late signees for 2020 and early signees 2021 ? Are am I wrong?

We may sign as many as three more JUCO arms. Not all good players sign in November.

I believe the late period is for class of 2019. Early sign in the fall is for class of 2020.

The long list of names from the 2017 and especially the 2018 roster, now mostly missing and having contributed little in their brief stay, is concerning. Seems like we missed on a bunch of recruits. I counted four or five freshman catchers, alone that have disappeared. Doesn't that seem like a problem?

I agree we've missed. Which is why we now have basically a full time recruiter.

The HS catcher we signed is getting a lot of play from scouts. And, the JUCO catcher's numbers are listed at the beginning of the thread.

What I like about the signees is they all come from respected D-1 JUCO programs. Doesn't mean they are "can't miss" guys, but I like the chances of them contributing right away.

Sounds really good. We are due for some breaks. We just are. I feel a lot better about the offense going forward. I would not be surprised if this year mimics 2012, then boom!

Oh, and since I started this thread by reporting something I believe to be a positive, let me follow that up with we will be signing more players in the period coming up.

Are these players on average the same quality of players we brought in the last four years? Would they perchance be better than what we have recently recruited?

Not sure about the unsigned but the ones In the article are putting up those numbers against tougher competition in better leagues. Not a knock against lsue they are a good program but they don’t play the toughest competition.

One is a top conference that gets more than half their conference in postseason. One is more times than not a multi-bid league. The SWAC is the first one bid league that came to mind. Does Southland make you feel better? My question is still the same.

I don't know, does the Southland provide competition that has a legit shot at a National Title in baseball?

Better yet, do they have a member with an Omaha ring?

Some of you need to step away and take a deep breath.

I'm talking about those of you who call 35-21 ____ting the bed.

I'm talking about those of you who call a .600 winning percentage bad baseball.

That's what some of you have said about 2017-18. And, that's what the winning percentage was in those two years.

Regional good? No.

But if you think .600 ball is ____ting the bed and bad baseball, you need to get out more.

We've played some bad baseball this year. But guess what? We've played some bad baseball in the past, too. And,, we've always turned it around.

We will turn this around as well.

But get a hold of yourselves. We havent been ____ting the bed the last three years.

If you think playing .600 baseball at the college level is good then you need to find another job. Sorry to break that news to you. I mean really ? 35-21 is good ? That's a prime example of what I've said many times on this board. Mediocrity is totally cool over here. Very much accepted. And that's exactly why we are where we're at.

I’m not sure about this, but didn’t 35-21-1 put us Not far out of getting in the tournament in 2017?

Aren’t there about 300 D 1 teams and only 64 make it. I’m thinking .600 baseball is not far from the line.
