So for those who are close to the program or social media experts -- any clarity (as opposed to idle speculation) as to our starting rotation? We all have a pretty good idea of our starting 9, but would love to know where we're going after Peterson does his thing on Friday nights.
 
I would assume Pat Gallagher has the inside track on 1 of the 2 spots after a strong Cape League though this is admittedly more speculation than the clarity you are hoping for

I would think at this point Austin Peterson and Pat Gallagher are pretty much locks for the weekend rotation, Peterson the Friday night guy. Who know about the Sunday starter at this point. I'm hoping for one of the incoming freshmen, either Ian Cooke or Jack Sullivan, both of whom are slated to play on the Cape this summer. If not them, the other main possibilities would seem to be incoming transfers Cole Chudoba and Enzo Stefanoni. It also wouldn't surprise me if someone else like Brendan O'Donnell slips in. Whatever the case, UConn definitely needs some of their young pitchers to make a great leap forward on the mound this spring.

Strikes me as odd that the team picked #1 had all of 2 players on the list. Creighton and Xavier both have 4 and St John's has 3. Just comes across as a mixed message.
 
According to this D1Baseball.com article, the roster limit for the 2022 college baseball season is 40 players instead of 35, and teams can have up to 32 players on scholarship instead of 27. This is due in part to the cancelled 2020 season from the Covid pandemic.

Rogers: NCAA Roster Relief Helps But Falls Short • D1Baseball

The NCAA Division I Committee on Legislative Relief gave college baseball some roster relief, but it didn't go far enough.

UConn's roster is currently at 42 players. I imagine it is possible that the Huskies may end up with a 2 player taxi squad, players who are being redshirted but who are not part of the official 2022 spring roster.

42 includes Crawford. I haven't heard anything that makes me think they would play him this year, even as a Dan Hurley (although it would be great if his recovery was such that doing so wouldn't have any effect on his pitching arm recovering).

The 40 man spring roster will have to include Crawford. Players who are on scholarship have to be included on the spring roster, even if they are unable to play due to injury.
 
Hoping to start seeing interviews with the coaches on UConn's player personnel now that the college baseball season is a little over a week away.

So the "one bid" prediction relates directly to the fear many had when we left the AAC and what happened last year. We look great from the moment we stop travelling south and west before conference play begins, but is our conference good enough to keep us sharp enough to then compete with teams from other regions come tournament time? That has yet to be seen and I hope I'm wrong. But even if the conference switch didn't have an immediate effect on recruiting, how long can we maintain our level of play in a one bid league?
