22 SB Recap & 23 Fall Outlook

[JMV JustMyView]

Totally agree......We definitely have OKC potential. Lack of power from all but 1 returning in outfield is the biggest gap for 23 IMO

Transfer portal big 3.
A) Power hitting LF/RF
B) stud defensive catcher
C) Elite level pitcher

Also an option is transition 1 or 2 of the quicker power hitters from the IF into LF/RF in the fall. Surplus of power talent is in the IF

I like your A, B and C.

They are the same needs as every team playing softball has.

1 and 1A) Elite pitcher would be nice, but I would settle for a developmental arm from a power conference. I think Coach Robichaux did an excellent job with Schoman and Landry, but Lamb had digressed this past season. I like the freshmen arms coming in, but I don't want to depend upon one to get us in a super regional.

2) I'm fine with 1 or 2 max transfer powerbats, as long as they can play multiple positions. We don't need more DP players. Frankly, I think there is good power in the returning lineup projection wise in Heath, Roman, Pisko, Campbell, Kozelnick, Langeliers and Credeur. That's 7 bats capable of 10 or more HRs.

Let the competition this fall answer the rest of the questions.

Very good analysis and has me excited about our potential next season. I wonder if the incoming left handed freshman pitcher Riassetto would be able to make a significant contribution next season. Pretty much on board with everyone else regarding getting a good defensive catcher and moving Pisko to another position. Just hope the transfer portal doesn't bite us in the you know what.

What needs to be worried more about is immediate eligibility upon transfer and NIL. That is what could bite us in the butt.

CC-CV not every team has the same needs.

Please find me a team who does not need each of those three.

There really is no worry about either of these. None of the players will transfer to a team more capable of making noise in the tournament than the Cajuns. Other schools aren't going to pay NIL deals to any of these players to go to their school.

Because what he said is doubtful. MAT has a podcast and much of what he says is doubtful.
