New faces making a splash

Cutts is the guy from Indiana St right?
I am surprised by Detmers TBH. He was not as good as Hartman last year. Alas, this is a new season and guys develop. I hope Detmers and Hartman are both strong as hell.
Yes Cutts from Indiana St. I think he was MVC pitcher of the year, not sure. I didn't see Hartman pitch in the Fall. Not sure if it was just bad timing or if he's rehabbing something.
I do think it's a fairly good pitching staff,top to bottom. They need to be healthy and stay healthy. There was an emphasis in Fall on pitching location. We'll get an early taste starting Valentine's Day.

Some UofL Offensive Sets In Detail

It is just another early illustration of how the staff built the team. A really good offense has constant moving and screening with all kinds of options-reads. I think it would be hard to run it this well with young guys. Mainly because of the speed they play at.

Defensively they aren’t great but they are connected. They make really good switches and it looks to be based of the opponents tendencies.

Kelsey has a lot of the same vibes as a young Rick Pitino. Scouting reports on target. A modern offense. Players play hard and with purpose.

If they can have 5 very good pitchers who are capable of starter roles - I love it. This means someone is going to be a long relief guy and you need that when someone just doesn’t have it. I want a strong pitcher mid-week too. They must win 80% + of those games!

Need Forbes to be the ace and hopefully some of the freshman from last year besides Detmers can take a big step forward.
Forbes likely leading off the weekend. He was lights out in the Fall. Everyone should do their best to get out and see this guy. He'll be gone after this season.
Parker probably going on Saturday or Sunday. It really gets interesting after that.
Cutts,West and Hartman all in the mix.

Louisville vs Va Tech

I agree that is what this team is missing a premiere player. We have always had one on our teams. Look at all the top guards we have had over the years. We always had a player that was nominated for player of the year in the ACC. That is what the portal does to a team and that is the shame of it.

I can see letting players transfer in if there is a coaching change. Whatever happened to the rule where you can only transfer once without having to sit out a year? In regards to HVL she is at a school that is nationally ranked but they are never on TV how does that help her brand?

As of May 2024, the NCAA began allowing unlimited transfers without requiring a player to sit out a year.
