Glasco crushing recruiting

It will be nice to get back to power bats. It made games fun in the past.

Gotta love the long ball. This is going to be exciting.

Agree, plus I think she has 3 more years of eligibility - 1 year of JC and 2 years medical hardship.

At the moment, she has 2 years left. She played 1 year in juco, she has had to redshirt 2 years here. Players have 5 years to play 4. There is a possibility if she graduates either this or next year (2020 or 2021), the NCAA may give her another year back.

Thanks, Icitsh - I understood the 5 years to play 4 for a healthy player - I was thinking the last two years were medical-hardship years - anyone remember how many years Venable got in football for medical reasons? Holland had two separate season-ending injuries in two years, both attributable to softball.

This entire thread on the topic of depth, I have not seen a mention of the All-American, PAC-10 Pitcher of the year that transferred in. Is she still on roster and will she contribute this season?

Just looked up an Athletic Network/Dan MacDonald article about Justin Venable - appears a medical hardship is claimed after 5 years is up - I would think Holland would be a prime candidate for medical hardship relief -of course, the article is many years old and NCAA may have changed its rules:

Under NCAA rules, players have five years to get in four playing seasons, so Venable, Bustle and his new staff figured that 2002 was his swan song. And, wouldn't you know ... a knee injury, this time his right ACL, ended his 2002 hopes in the third game at Houston.

"By the time Venable hobbled to midfield for the 2002 senior honors prior to the Arkansas State game, he'd missed 42 of a potential 56 games.

The first four or five years I didn't get the playing time I'd expected," Venable said, "and it was pretty hard. There was a new staff coming in that was committed to turning the program around, and I wanted to be there when it happened."

He applied to the NCAA for a sixth-year hardship, and incredibly didn't get that lone year. In a rare example of NCAA fairness, he got a three-year extension on his five-year "clock."

She is here and is the number 2 pitcher.

Reminds me of the guy that was so broke he could not pay attention.

I’m going to miss Milligan’s base stealing. She was my favorite player to watch because of her running.

No doubt we will miss her speed and Kara's but rest assured we have brought in three speed kids who can fly. Fawcett, Ruffins and Alderink.

The tread is about the possible opening day lineup. Summer will start the first game.
