Way to go Morton and Garbo!
Lets go Jellybean Padilla.

Chris Jones talking about more D3 transfers coming to UConn next season. He can't mention names at this point.

As of now there are 1 D3 transfer and 3 JUCO transfers for next season that have been mentioned on the recruiting thread.

Well I am sure Coach McD. Has been in that portal daily. That he has his eye on several SP’s for 2024. That’s what makes him such a great pitching coach, always thinking two or three steps ahead. Go getum Coach McD. …. Get those pitchers for UCONN! 2024 back to back here we come!

Coach Penders says Cooke had a cramp in his arm. Hopefully it is nothing more and he is okay to pitch later in the week.

I get the idea from listening to Chris Jones during the game today that UConn has gotten more commitments from D3 transfers than what has appeared on the recruiting thread here on the Boneyard. Hopefully as the summer progresses we will be able to figure out who these players are.

So ends a regular season that by all accounts on paper was exceptional and to me surprising based on how much we lost off of last year's team. Goal 1 accomplished, Onto the BET and then let's see where the chips fall. Perspective is interesting. We are bummed about probably losing out at hosting but not too long ago, making the tournament was a difficult enough proposition!!

I don’t think there is any question that the regular season surpassed all pre-season expectations. Doesn’t mean the way we played the last five games, prior to today, wasn’t troubling. Less the record and more how we played.

I thought yesterday was pretty good; we outhit them 12-3 and unfortunate variance was the only reason that was close. Agree otherwise, the Butler series was painful to watch.

Over a whole season, we never lost a series. We played poorly against Butler and lost 1 game in the 9th inning. These are college kids, not machines. If they were going to have a rough patch, let it be during the regular season.
We all are troubled by the starting pitching, but this team doesn't lose a few in a row. I like that moving forward.

Before we go all Big12 crazy, there are only two Big12 teams ranked above us (#24) at this moment in current RPI: West Virginia (17) and Okla St. (22).

How many Big East teams are ranked anywhere near us?

Big12 is 3rd in conference RPI and is consistently top 3 in that measure. They routinely put 5 or more teams in the tournament every year. Big East is 12th in conference RPI and a 1 bid league nearly every year. Baseball is not the sport to argue Big East is similar to Big 12

Did you have a point in your head when you posted this?

How many are ranked ahead of the second highest ranked BE school? How many ahead of the third highest?

How far down the rankings do you need to go to cover the top half of the BE and how much of the B-12 does that cover?

 

[TMB4405]

Penders would be the first to light a match to burn down the Big East relationship and head to Big 12. I believe all our major sports would benefit but women’s hoops and baseball by far the most.

7 teams ahead of Xavier at 57 who's 2nd highest, then Kansas at 104 who is higher than anyone else in the Big East. Baylor at 165 is the only one who's bad even by Big East standards

Having seen Baylor play, they are every bit as bad as Nova etc. That RPI doesn't lie. HORRIBLE pitching, starters and bullpen.

 

[Palatine]

Nice to see a shutout. Gives one hope.
