I know we don’t even really know what positions we’ll need until after this tourney run, but guys are starting to enter the portal from other teams.

This guy from EKU might be someone to keep an eye on, dropped 24 on us in the Yum:

Has us as a 5 seed lol. We're going to be a consensus top 10, maybe even top 5, team to start the year. How can this guy be so bad at his job?

He won State’s only CWS in 2021. The coaching carousel begins.

Just read that it is expected he is entering. Either he never regained his form following his injury or he is a tweener who can’t find a spot. Too slow to cover guys as a LB and maybe not string enough to play edge. Who knows.

Anyone know what other players we are in on? We have 4 roster spots.

Rankings #16
Keep grinding boys!!

They are bad. 8 wins, 36 losses. It's going to be tricky getting this one in tomorrow. 80% chance of storms, with, perhaps, a lull between noon and 3pm. The severe stuff comes late afternoon/early evening. First pitch is scheduled for 6pm.

Hey Ty, any murmurs out there regarding the spring portal? I saw a starting corner for Tenn plans to enter and that sure would be nice.

I could continue on with other possibilities but I believe everyone can agree that only two players are sure to start with any combination.

Hadley
Brown

I didn't have McNeely in any of the starting lineups but he could end up starting at some point. Same thing with Fru. If he's better than Rooths or Scott he may end up starting.

The point of this exercise is the absolute depth Kelsey will have and he still has two scholarships to fill. It's unlikely the Cards will have another year of multiple injuries, especially season ending ones. However, if they do there's plenty of depth.

If Kelsey doesn't add anymore players, this 11 man squad will not have bench scrubs as everyone can play. Rogers is the most perceived player to be that 11th man, but he had great numbers the last season he played.

Louisville is definitely worthy of a pre-season top 5 team.

4-3

Solid pitching whole game, some clutch hits!

Tied it at 2 in bottom of 9.

Tied it at 3 in the 10th.

Won 4-3!!!

Sanders has beat Gerlado's Capone's vault opening, the Fyer Festival, and New Coke as the most over-hyped flop.

Legendary alright......Legendary Fail

There will never be another player that gets his number retired before he's drafted, spends $300K on a draft room suite addition and $100K on a draft chain, only to not be drafted before the 4th Round.

Sanders is listed as the best available player, right above Jaylon Royals (WR) from Utah State.

Transferring back from Houston. Depth piece.
Another rumor out there about uk DL Kendrick Gilbert coming to UofL.

I didn't take a deep dive into the stats, but the Cards and the Pack are somewhat similar. Cards have the edge offensively by a fairly notable margin, but the Pack pitching is slightly better than ours, though, our guys seem to be coming around a little bit. Pack will have home field, but they aren't world beaters there, 16-5 this season. A little cloudy, maybe some rain today, but the weekend weather looks good. If the Cards can take this road series, that would be beneficial, as a damn good WKU team visits next week, then off to #4 Clemson.

Cat's took 2 of 3 at ranked UT. Looked good. Going to have our hands full.

Once again I had to go to the opposing team's website to find out the pitching rotation for this weekend's series against the Seminoles.

It will be Eberle tonight and TBA for Saturday and Sunday....

Go Cards! Really need to win 2, but definitely 1. Hell, let's get a sweep.

Perhaps the kids wanted to perform well on a Nationally televised game, or maybe it was a case where they were all super-focused at the same time. I know it’s a regular ACC series game, but the performance was both exceptional, and from a fan perspective, it was about as enjoyable as any that I can recall.

A poster in another thread pointed out the pitching strategy that CDM put together for this Sunday game was incredibly creative and most effective. While the pitching was as good as we have seen this season, those 3 double plays were critical in extinguishing any early threats that FSU could manage. Now for the hitting; the “bookend HRs” certainly secured the win, but it was those crucial hits in between that took the 5-2 lead up to 10-2 that told me that our kids were as focused at the plate as any UL team in my memory.

I have no idea how this up and down season will go from here, but yesterday was so satisfying and entertaining, that I am dialed back in.

The Louisville Cardinals saw two players drafted on day two of the NFL Draft. The big name to be called was the former quarterback, Tyler Shough. The former Cardinal star was one of the most significant conversations entering the NFL Draft, as many fell in love with his tape and his potential. Shough proved at the Reese's Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine that he is a top-three quarterback in this year's NFL Draft, and the Saints clearly agree, as they took him over Shedeur Sanders.

The New Orleans Saints drafted Shough in the second round at pick No. 40. This was such a shocking and massive selection by the Saints because Colorado's star quarterback has yet to be drafted. The former Cardinal was just the third quarterback to be drafted in the NFL Draft. Sanders is still undrafted, as five quarterbacks have been selected ahead of the Colorado quarterback, making this the story of the draft so far.

Saints. High second round. First Card off the board. Congratulations to Tyler!

Great for him.
