Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 3593501, member: 2504"] Another blurb from me on UConn starting pitching. I certainly think there is great potential for the starting pitching to be very good or better next season, there are a number of worthy candidates for these jobs. However, would also point out that none of the guys mentioned for starting roles has firmly established themselves as a starter at UConn in previous seasons. So until these guys prove themselves on the mound in starting roles in spring competition (and that includes the much talked about Casparius), there is also a bit of mystery and uncertainty here as well on how it will all turn out. Still, it is better to have a bunch of guys with great talent than having a bunch of guys who don't have much potential at all. That being said, it is obvious that Coach Penders thinks very highly of Casparius and the ability he showed after he arrived in Storrs. Coach MacDonald has said all sorts of favorable things about Jimmy Wang, it pretty much sounds like with Wang it all comes down to getting some experience. And I think Joe Simeone can be a strikeout machine if he ever gains some consistency over his control. And if someone doesn't pan out, there are always the options of players like Gallagher, Dunlop, and the previously named freshmen. [/QUOTE]
