I wished cluster bombs to fall on the bleached blonde punks chirping from the dugout in 2005. But this team was different. I like Will and wish he played for us. I'm glad that some of their fans got to experience Omaha. But I'm am still glad that we do not have to hear about how they have surpassed in baseball..... again. Dak will run for3 tds in the Egg.
I'm seeing a couple of their fans on FB saying that this was a rebuilding year and they should pretty much be badasses next year. I thought they were losing a lot off of this roster?
they had 9 drafted....they are most likely going to be rebuilding next season. typical facebook idiocy by fans that likely watched their first baseball games in the postseason.
Their senior class is Gatlin, Overbey, Massie, Greenwood, Blunt, Ashford, Anderson, and Allen. Ellis was drafted in the 3rd, Bousfield in the 5th, Laxer in the 9th, Lee in the 12th, Buchanan and Trent in the 20th.
Not to mention the coach that helped get them where they are in terms of hitting is more than likely about to go to ECU. That is yet to be determined, though.
We're losing a good bit, and I was told that Godwin to ECU will be announced very soon.
That said, we lost our top 2 pitchers and top 4 hitters off of last year's team. Trent will be back so Fridays should be good. Sam Smith will be back for another year on Sundays. If we can find a Saturday guy, I think we will be pretty good.
